Hitman 3 Is a Testament to the Value of Video Game Gimmicks
Hitman 3 is a unicorn. It’s the kind of sequel that meaningfully shakes things up while successfully building upon the foundations of the past. For me, it does so by breaking the rules of its predecessors and adding a sense of structure to free-form play.
Stories have been an integral part of IO Interactive’s World of Assassination trilogy since the beginning, yet
Hitman 3 takes a different approach not just with more complex mission stories within the tapestry of each level, but by embedding narrative design cues to tell a tale about Agent 47 rather than just his victims.
