From GameWatcher: "Hitman’s episodic release plans and amount of content are going to be a source of controversy. It’s got all the fundamentals of a terrific Hitman game, and if the future levels live up to the scale of what’s in this intro pack, then they’ll be massive, densely detailed locations filled with possibilities that will take dozens of playthroughs to fully explore. Completing all the challenges and permutations of this offering alone will easily last you five to ten hours. But taking the time to explore the same locations over and over, even if there are vastly different things to do every time, simply isn’t going to appeal to a lot of players. If the prospect of slowly picking apart the mechanics of giant stealth sandboxes is exciting for you, then Hitman should provide a wonderful experience. But if you’re a one-and-done type of player, then you should look elsewhere.".
Andrew from TVG writes "When the PS4 was first announced in early 2013, showing off the improved graphical potential of the new hardware was the name of the game. “THIS IS NEXT-GEN!” screamed the operatic adverts from the rooftops, flashing their fancy particle and lighting effects for all to see. And for a while, pretty was enough to keep us all happy."
MonsterVine: "If you’ve ever wanted to see what it’s like to wish upon a monkey’s paw look no further than Hitman."
FuzzyPixels.net: "Early access in all but name, the core elements of Agent 47's return to Blood Money form are all here. We just need the rest of it, and for IO and Square Enix to stop shoehorning dodgy online functionality into proceedings."
I haven't had a single connection error since launch. I agree more of the features shouldn't be hidden behind having to be online, but it has been functioning no problem for me.
