A pretty fantastic package with a somewhat uneven finale, Hitman WOA is one of the better modern stealth games. Since its packed in with essentially three games the amount of content you get is pretty staggering, with lots of variety contained within all three. Personally feel that out of them 2 has the strongest levels with areas like Miami and Mumbai being incredible sandboxes with tons to do. Not to say 1 is any slouch though with Sapienza being perhaps the best overall. On the other hand I though 3s overall missions felt the weakest with too much focus on a narrative that I just did not care about and some truly dreadful levels (Berlin and the finale). Another big issue that permeates throughout the entire package is IOIs borderline retarded decision to make Hitman into a live service, with shit like Elusive Targets and a mandatory online system being jammed in for no good reason.

Despite those issues Hitman WOA still stands out as a phenomenal set of games that showcase just how much IOI has refined the franchise to near perfection. Absolutely cannot wait to see what they manage to pull off with Project 007 and beyond.

8.5/10
