Hitman III ups the production values just a little bit more than it's predecessor, and while the total level suite may not be a strict improvement over Hitman II's (Is there anything as good as the F1 Race in Florida?), they are certainly up to par in scope and replay-ability with most of the previous entries, and feature even more unique story mission tidbits.

While the narrative of these game's is by far the thing that least catches my interest in these games, I was surprised by the end how invested I was - Honestly, still really not a whole lot, but more than I would have expected.

At the end of the day, Hitman III is another top notch billionaire killing simulator in which you play as the world's funniest assassin. There's not a whole lot more you could ask for here.

My "comfort" game. This is the one game I can keep coming back to consistently no matter how many hours I've put into it.

This game perfectly blends 2 of my favourite gaming elements (Proper Stealth & Sandbox with emergent gameplay) and does it really well.

There are so many ways you can replay the missions in this game it almost feels unlimited, and now with the addition of freelancer (a new rogue lite mode) this feeling is event more true.

This game perfectly encapsulates that James Bond/John Wick modern high society espionage feeling that very few games do capture.

My only 1 wish with this game is that IOI release an offline patch so you can have progression and freelancer without neededing to connect to the internet.

*Ranking this based on that fact that you can play all of Hitman 1 and 2 in Hitman 3, making this the definitive version of the modern trilogy.

Not as huge on this one as I was the other 2. The decision to do a lot of smaller weirder levels doesn't pay off as well as 2's direction of larger levels with more to do did. A few of the experiments pay off (Berlin in particular is genius) but some of them come off as slightly forgettable (Mendoza) or downright miserable (Chongqing). The increased verticality of the environments is great though and provides more opportunities to find creative solutions to the challenges presented.

I don't care for the added emphasis on story either. All I need for a Hitman plot is for you to tell me who the people I'm killing are and why I need to kill them. Agent 47 and Diana Burnwood are not characters that I care about.

Hitman 3 offers, once again, very cohesively crafted maps, and even though it doesn't innovate regarding how you play, I don't think it needs to considering what it set out to do. It is, most of all, a conclusion to the reboot trilogy, hence the all-in-one WoA package related to it. Also related to the conclusion of a story, I've enjoyed the narrative of this game quite a bit more than those of the previous games. It feels more personal and, because of that, more intense, and that is probably the deciding factor for me to consider it the best game in the series.

+ Incredible amount of gameplay and post-launch support, including the previous two games of material in one.
+ A great stealth game that relies more on creativity and bond-style espionage
+ Looks gorgeous without draining your FPS
+ Even after spoiling myself on the entire story, I bought and played this to experience it myself. Cinematic in scale and production.
I legit just don't have any negatives to give. Well done IO Interactive.
