Game
In terms of gameplay, Hitman 3 does little new. Developers clearly know they have a product that works and they don’t want to spoil it. In that sense, this latest game is more of an evolution than a revolution. The gameplay is almost exactly what fans would expect. This allows players to quickly go back without having to worry about learning new mechanics and features.
That’s not to say there aren’t one or two additions. Most notable is the camera, which can be used to scan objects or hack systems. It’s a small optional feature that adds even more possibilities for gamers. Hitman 3 also has permanent shortcuts – secret areas and locations unlocked for future races.
The focus of the game, however, is undoubtedly the level design. In order for this rebooted Hitman series to work well, it needs great settings to explore. The whole appeal of the franchise comes from being able to take out targets in a wide variety of ways. Fortunately, Hitman 3 lives up to this exceptionally well. There is a sense that the levels in this new game have been made grander and more elaborate. Whether it’s Dubai’s sprawling skyscraper or the British country manor, the levels are all for you to explore.
Each level has even been expanded with things like Mission Stories. These are like miniature levels that require players to do certain things. Reaching them all in one run is virtually impossible, forcing users to walk through them multiple times. Hitman 3 also offers players the chance to let their imagination run wild. The interesting increase in over-the-top killing works really well and never feels too extravagant or silly. Still, it’s the slightly cartoon or slapstick nature of the game that makes it so fun to play.
