Featured reviews
Anyways... Hitman was a step up up up compared to their brain-dead absolution. The stages and ways to kill victims are very fun and plentiful .
The graphics, animation, gameplay is perfect. Story, dialogue, mission freedom is magnificent. 47 is still the silent killer that we love.
Verdict: It's great to be back in business.
The six episodes follow contract killer Agent 47 who has to eliminate targets all around the world from a fashion show in Paris over the dusty streets of Marrakesh to a private hospital in Hokkaido. While the locations are stunning and diversified, the different missions are sometimes repetitive and tedious. Potential bonus episodes and online content can't hide the fact that the game is missing a coherent flow which decreases the long-term factor significantly. Instead of playing the entire first season all at once, it's recommanded to play one episode in its entirety and to take a break of a few weeks to rediscover Hitman's universe again.
Just like the other entries of the franchise and even the two movies, the new Hitman reboots has massive ups and downs. If you want to play single coherent stealth video game episodes, Hitman can occasionally provide some solid entertainment. If you are however looking for a game with an intriguing story that connects the different episodes and original twists, you will have to look elsewhere. In the end, the new Hitman reboot is only for long-time fans of the franchise.

The Shadow Client: [From Legacy Cinematic] You were always the best. Nobody ever came close. You define the art and it defines you.
The Shadow Client: Your actions have changed the world. Powerful men have fallen by your hand. But by the same token, others have risen.
The Shadow Client: Do you realize what kind of world you've been shaping? Does the ICA? Does your handler? I live in that world. I have seen the consequences. I have felt the cost. That's what defines me.
