Game of the Show: Hitman 3

The Hitman reboot from 2016 was the first time I played a Hitman game. I knew about the series growing up but never got into it. The first “season” in the World of Assassination trilogy was exactly what I liked: stealth game with multiple approaches, a sandbox environment, but encapsulated in contained missions that could be completed in 30 minutes or delved into for hours.

When Hitman 2 came out, IO Interactive made the amazing decision to bring over the episodes of the first season to the improved engine and to give it to players of the first game for free. I was able to play those levels again and rekindle my interest in the series.

The did the same thing with Hitman 3. However, because of the move from Steam to Epic, getting the content on PC is a bit tricky right now. None the less, if you haven’t played any of the games in the trilogy, you can buy Hitman 3 today and play through the entire World of Assassination series in a single location – it will just be a bit expensive.

Since getting Hitman 3, I’ve played around 20 hours from the last 2 missions of the first season, through the entire second season include the DLC content and the first 3 missions of the last season. I only played each mission once to get through the story, but all missions have a lot of content you can only see in multiple playthroughs – the game is designed around that.

Hitman 1 had very memorable levels that I played through a lot. Hitman 2’s levels were not as good – most of them felt a lot smaller; until the DLC – specifically the New York bank mission, that was amazing. Hitman 3 start very strong: the first mission is set in the Scepter tower in Dubai and is an exceptional setpiece, even due and the mission itself is mostly tutorial. It is followed by what is maybe the best mission in the series so far: Dartmoor mansion, in which you impersonate a private investigator and search for clues to solve a murder. The next mission set in a Berlin illegal dance-club is very unique.
