While a good return to formula from the mostly action packed Absolution suffered being, this game still has its fair lot of issues.

Firstly this game had way too many problems on release date, always online, episodic content that is annoying to acquire everything (and some even being time locked and lost forever) and for some reason the game size is over 100gb?

A lot of mechanics were removed, some other were made more complicated, syringes are basically useless, fiber wire always takes a item slot for some motive or even worse being completely removed in certain missions (???), to unlock weapons such as a sniper rifle to use in levels you are obligated to 'replay, grind and level up' which I don't feel is a thing that fits the Hitman franchise, in past games you could simply acquire the weapons with you or buy them in a market system like Blood Money.

There's some other nitpicking I dislike, like the trespassing zones still having trouble being clear of their limits, or how the story feels more uninteresting and unclear than even Absolution, it's a good game, but with 2 and 3 being basically the same system, except the episodic annoying part I can't feel like I like these games as much as I did Blood Money or Contracts.
