I mostly played the PS5 version, and was able to drink in all the fancy reflections, lighting, and smooth 60 FPS Hitman 3 offers thanks to next-gen power.

The menus, UI, and overall gameplay remains virtually identical-though saving and loading feels so much smoother and quicker thanks to the next-gen SSD storage of the Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
The musical accompaniment to the first moments of breaking into Dubai’s Sceptre tower had me grinning from ear to ear.Īs mentioned earlier, Hitman 3 doesn’t make any changes to its formula, so those familiar with its 20 entries will feel right at home here. Adding to the excitement all throughout the game is its dynamic soundtrack, that effortlessly transitions between electronic sounds and orchestral climaxes. The beginning of the first mission has Agent 47 leap from a plane, parachuting onto the world’s tallest building (in the game’s story) in Dubai, and sneakily infiltrating a high-society soirée.
While the game definitely encourages discretion in making the kill, it’s also completely open to the idea of Agent 47 going in guns blazing-but you’d be making things even harder for yourself to get in and out effectively.Įven for long-time fans, Hitman 3 kicks off in a much more exciting and dramatic way than its predecessors. Instead of thinking of Hitman as an action or stealth game, I like to think of it more as becoming a chameleon that’s trying to solve an ever-morphing puzzle. It’s probably the best video game example of the saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” that I can remember in recent years.Ī quick catch-up on what the game is for newcomers: Hitman as a series from 2016 places Agent 47, the player character, in large sandbox environments with the task of assassinating a target in whatever way they wish. While creating all-new missions with branching paths to knock off targets in as many ways as possible, it also manages to feel completely familiar for returning players. For example, automatic weapons will simulate recoil with every bullet fired.Hitman 3 is IO Interactive’s conclusion to its World of Assassination trilogy that began in 2016’s Hitman reboot. Each weapon will also have unique haptic feedback, meaning they will all feel differently when used. To activate it, players need to gently push down on the R2 button until they feel a tension point that resists the pressure of pushing down on the button. Once the player is ready to fire their gun, they must push past that tension point, upon which they'll feel the click of the trigger. Every gun in the game will support the adaptive triggers, so as to make the action of firing weapons feel more authentic.Īs an example, Barbour explains how the game's Focus effect works. While using a sniper rifle, Focus will slow down time.
