Hitman 3 Review Clean, Professional, By the Numbers
New levels, new targets, new graphical improvements, same Hitman taste. Hitman 3 won t be everyone s cup of tea, but the niche should be extremely satisfied.

As contradictory as that seems, the
Hitman games play to a very specific niche. Unfortunately, try as I might, I don’t think I’m in that niche. The reboot games have been all about approaching the well-designed levels like a sandbox, playing it how you want to play. That’s commendable, but I’m not the sort of player who cares to repeat levels and attempt different approaches very often. There were moments of fun to be had, but it’s really not the kind of game for me. Despite that though, I can fully recognise the craft on offer here. Keep that in mind for this review, as you might find this suits your tastes far more.
However, people who own
Hitman 1 on Steam and wouldn’t be able to buy
Hitman 3 in its first 10 days of launch, will face the same problem in adding that game’s locations to
Hitman 3 as they face with transferring
Hitman 2. This is probably something that IO Interactive should straight out with Square Enix and Warner Bros. Interactive as the previous publishers of the
Hitman series. Even Epic’s Tim Sweeney made it clear that they are doing whatever they can to solve this problem and avoid players from repurchasing their Steam games on Epic Games Store.
Hitman 3 is going to be available on January 20th for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, Stadia, and PC. Also, a VR version of the game will be coming exclusively to PSVR on the same day.
