Excerpt: "IO has given the player much choice over how difficult they want their game to be. You have the option of 5 different difficulties ranging from giving you all the assistance available like unlimited instinct, a new ability in the series, to having just about no HUD or notifications at all. Instinct lets you see enemies through walls and give you clues on what objects in the world can be used. It also helps you blend into the environment by making 47 hide his face around those who might see through his disguise. Instinct also is the gauge used for the point shooting mechanic. Essentially you’re just tagging enemies to kill in a slow-mo mode. Once done, you activate the shots and 47 pops each target in a satisfying slow kill-cam shot."
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
