Eurogamer:
Hitman's return is in danger of being overlooked this week - it launches neck-and-neck with Tom Clancy's The Division, a game that aims to be the next Destiny, with a gigantic, lustrous world and a mighty ladder of unlocks to scale. As dubious a move as this may seem commercially, it's fitting to see a game as vast and, at times, vacuous as The Division launching alongside a game that's all about detail and volatility, where weaselling a target out of a packed room can take up to an hour. Without wishing to knock Ubisoft's work too much, Hitman's design is much more rewarding to ponder - it asks for experimentation and mastery, rather than mere patience and the ability to follow a waypoint. Agent 47's return is long overdue, and so far, very welcome. Roll on episode two.
New Gamer Nation:
Despite the initial release only being a small piece of what is in store for us from the latest Hitman, developers IO Interactive have delivered an informative tutorial giving us a look into the origins of our favourite bald assassin as well as the expansive Paris level that will challenge players to perform flawless hits in countless new and inventive ways.
The new Hitman game is here, well just the prologue and episode one for now. Is it worth your time and money? Come find out.
Good Game: "Hitman Absolution got mixed reviews, but It's one of my all time favourite stealth games. This retains much of the humour and world ideas that I loved about Absolution, but also feels more focused."
