"This latest Hitman’s overall story has seemed a little bit inconsequential at best, and downright confusing at worst. But with ‘Freedom Fighters’ IO finally start to bring things together, neatly tying in the other hits and bringing things closer to home. There’s an almost breathless level of pace and climax to both the level and action that gives your actions a little more consequence than normal, which I really liked. And whilst I won’t spoil it, the explosive ending sets the game up perfectly for the forthcoming end to the first season of content."
Sirus Gaming EIC reviews Episode 5 of Hitman: "I do love a game that puts up a challenge, and for that, Hitman Episode 5: Colorado didn’t disappoint. There will be times that I get bored with stealth games, but this episode puts my mind and strategy into a test."
Dana Abercrombie from The Koalition writes:
"While the traps you can set are creative, it felt derivative of other games. Also, there’s only so many sheds that can be painted “Suicidal Brown.” It also appears that some of the A.I. lost brain cells. Everyone seemed to be stuck together as if they’re all tied to the same American Horror Story cursed fate. However, they did hold interesting and fun conversations, so this is a plus if your goal in life is it be a nosy neighbor."
Andrew from TVG writes "In the latest instalment of Hitman, IO Interactive could have simply stuck with what they know. For the best part of the year, the studio has successfully reawakened their sandbox stealth game, polishing up the gameplay and opening up the scope of the levels.Episode 5, set in rural Colorado."
