Leaving the world untouched and unaware of your presence is the mark of a skilled Hitman; a perfectly executed plan of assassination set-up to look like an unfortunate accident. As you make your way through the crowds of roaring and cheering fans at a wrestling arena, your target is one of the unlucky contestants in the ring. But how do you get to him? Do you pull out your pistol and blow him away from centre stage? Or do you use a disguise to sneak onto the catwalks above and send the lighting rig crashing down on the fighters below?
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.
