Critic Reviews

33bits - Euyen Esquefa Pons - Spanish - 90 / 100

Hitman 3, more than a third installment of a video game sub-saga, is more like a third season of it. It is totally continuous and does not hide in this sense. It is true that it does not add anything substantial, but it is also true that the base it inherits is very, very good. And the new maps show the experience already acquired from the two previous games, offering us some of the best maps of the trilogy.

3DNews - Михаил Пономарев - Russian - 7 / 10

Despite the plot flaws and disappointing ending, Hitman 3 remains a fine assassin playground with a huge gameplay variety.

ACG - Jeremy Penter - Buy

While it has some inconsistencies, Hitman 3 delivers the best story the Hitman games have had, and a couple tremendous levels, as well as almost endless substantial replayability.

Ars Technica - Sam Machkovech - Unscored

A solid if unambitious expansion pack—and that should tell you whether to buy this one or catch up on Hitman 2 instead.

Atomix - Sebastian Quiroz - Spanish - 85 / 100

Hitman III is one of the first strong cards of the year. IO Interactive has given us an entertaining experience focused on experimentation and replayability that no fan of the stealth genre can miss.

Attack of the Fanboy - Diego Perez - 5 / 5 stars

Hitman 3 is the ultimate murder simulator. Now that the World of Assassination trilogy is finally complete, there's no excuse to not play Hitman. In order to truly appreciate the game's intricacies, you have to commit to replaying levels, attempting challenges, and testing out new strategies. However, if you put in the time, you'll be treated to one of the most engaging and rewarding stealth experiences in all of gaming.

COGconnected - Paul Sullivan - 92 / 100

The locations and level designs in Hitman 3 are among the best IO Interactive have built.

Checkpoint Gaming - Charlie Kelly - 9 / 10

Hitman 3 is a beautiful, wonderful and exceptionally well-made game that I'm so glad exists. IO Interactive have created something simply amazing that should be lauded for being right up there with the smartest design in the industry.

Critical Hit - Darryn Bonthuys - 8.5 / 10

Hitman 3 is full of surprises beneath its familiar systems. It manages to break out of its own sandbox without disrupting its formula too much, ending on a subtle note that brings the world of assassination saga to a satisfying end.

Cubed3 - Luke Hemming - 9 / 10

Hitman 3 succeeds in every respect by being a fantastic ending to analready great series. It's also a joy to see that IO Interactive ensured players would be able to slip right back into the shoes of a veteran killer,but didn'trest on their laurels by not offering anything new. Although the touches of permanent shortcuts and new gadgets may seem small, once implemented it's hard to imagine playing without them as they integrate seamlessly into mission stories. Add to that the same freedom to approach a hit that the series is famous for, as well as ensuring every playground looks absolutely stunning and its clear that even without good friends, Agent 47 really does find the perfect blend.

Cultured Vultures - Ashley Bates - 9 / 10

Hitman 3 takes everything good about the rebooted series and combines it with worthwhile features and levels that are more interactive than ever before to create one of the best stealth games of the last decade.

DASHGAMER.com - Dan Rizzo - 9 / 10

Hitman 3 is unequivocally IO's magnum opus; a tour de force within the overall longstanding Hitman franchise, and its essential pick within the trilogy. [...] leads the charge in 2021 for compelling action-adventure.

Destructoid - Chris Carter - 9 / 10

Coupled with extra gadgets (some of which can be imported - though not as swimmingly on PC), Hitman 3 is really fun to dive back into; or introduce someone to for that matter, just to see what they come up with. It's the little things that add up and really make Hitman 3 special.

Digital Trends - Tom Caswell - 4 / 5 stars

A satisfying conclusion to the trilogy with the best locations in the series

DualShockers - Kris Cornelisse - 8 / 10

New levels, new targets, new graphical improvements, same Hitman taste. Hitman 3 won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the niche should be extremely satisfied.

EGM - Michael Goroff - 10 / 10

Hitman 3 is a fantastic capstone to a standout series. Yes, a lot of what you experience will seem familiar if you've played the last two games, but IO Interactive continues to take interesting risks that largely play off while still perfecting the elements that make Hitman so special. The best compliment I can pay Hitman 3 is that I want to finish writing this review so I can go back to playing it.

Eurogamer - Edwin Evans-Thirlwell - Recommended

IO's final World of Assassination game is closer to a seasonal content update than a sequel, but it's a thrilling endeavour all the same.

Everyeye.it - Giuseppe Arace - Italian - 8 / 10

Killer who kills you don't change. IO Interactive does not revolutionize its playful formula, widely gnawed in the excellent Hitman 2, and proposes it again with slight but pleasant additions also in the third and (perhaps) last chapter of the World of Assassination saga. Agent 47 returns more shrewd and lethal than ever before, within an experience that knows how to enhance the murderous instincts of gamers. All this takes the form of a stealth adventure full of possibilities, a sandbox full of ideas and alternative solutions that stimulate the variety of approaches and benefit from a level design sometimes in a state of grace. A few falls in style in the last stage, a story only of contour and a general lack of courage in a fixting some stumbles of the past episodes, such as a not-so-exciting IA and very coarse shooter phases, however, prevent Hitman 3 from taking a big step forward compared to the second act. The work therefore moves in perfect continuity with what is...

Game Informer - Jeff Cork - 9 / 10

Agent 47's journey ends on a high note, at least as far as players are concerned. New levels are memorable and cater to the freedom fans have come to expect

Game Rant - Cameron Corliss - 4.5 / 5 stars

All told, though, Hitman 3 is one of the best stealth games ever made.

Game Revolution - Michael Leri - 8.5 / 10

The bald, barcoded assassin has had many hits in his 21-year career, but even though it might be his last for quite some time, Hitman 3 is one of 47's best executions yet.

GameByte - Sara Heritage - 9 / 10 stars

Hitman 3 feels like a love letter to the 'World of Assassination' and I can't think of a better way to conclude the series. With its delightfully witty dialogue and the fact that all existing Hitman content (as long as you've bought Hitman and Hitman 2) has progression carry over into Hitman 3, this game is a joy to play and the best Hitman has ever been. It takes all the best parts of the series we've come to love and leaves us with a bittersweet, Agent 47-sized gap in our hearts.

GameMAG - Russian - 9 / 10

There's simply not a lot of stealth-action games that can hold a candle to Hitman III, with its hours upon hours of engaging gameplay and high replayability. The sheer variety of different locations and missions, and also the inclusion of all the legacy content, turns this title into something you don't want to miss at the start of 2021.

GamePro - Dennis Michel - German - 82 / 100

Hitman 3 is exactly what fans of the IO Interactive games expect: an open sandbox dream in which thousands of paths lead to Rome or rather to Berlin, Dubai, China, England, Argentina and Romania. On this point, there is simply no second genre representative who leaves so much room for our creativity. The six locations are wonderfully varied and great, but I never got rid of the feeling of playing a story DLC here. After a good five to six hours, that's it.

GameSkinny - Mark Delaney - 9 / 10 stars

Hitman 3 brings to a close one of gaming's great trilogies with one last display of immaculate level design and intoxicating mood from IO Interactive.

GameSpew - Richard Seagrave - 9 / 10

Chances are we aren't going to be placed in control of Agent 47 again; at least for a fair while, anyway. But with Hitman 3, IO Interactive has at least made sure he's had a worthy send-off.

GameSpot - Phil Hornshaw - 9 / 10

What's good about Hitman--its level design and the creativity, experimentation, and exploration that affords--is great in Hitman 3. It closes out the trilogy by brilliantly playing off everything that came before it

GameWatcher - Marcello Perricone - 9 / 10

Hitman III is a fascinating finale to the franchise that shyly continues the series' tradition to iterate and improve on each entry.

GameZone - Cade Onder - 8.5 / 10

While Hitman 3 is the end of this trilogy, it's clear IO will be coming back to 47 after they play around in the 007 sandbox for a while. This isn't so much the end of Hitman as it is this iteration of 47 and I will be eagerly awaiting his return.

Gameblog - Gianni Molinaro - French - 9 / 10

Could IO Interactive have ended the World of Assassination Trilogy better ? Probably not. Even if Hitman 3 sticks to previous episodes formula and plays it safe, keeping its usual flaws, it offers gorgeous and incredibly well-convceived destinations that will indeed please fans. There are so many good trails to follow, so many possibilities that you'll sure end up with the urge to try everything in order to go for the perfect kill. If you own Hitman 1 and Hitman 2, there is some serious amount of challenges waiting. A PlayStation VR ? Prepare for a game-changing experience.

GamesBeat - Jeff Grubb - 5 / 5 stars

Hitman is a world made up entirely of Chekhov's guns, and it's a blast finding out how to get Agent 47 into position to pull the trigger.

GamesRadar+ - Leon Hurley - 4.5 / 5 stars

A slick and entertaining conclusion to the trilogy.

GamingBolt - Shubhankar Parijat - 9 / 10

Hitman 3 represents the peak of the series, of IO Interactive, and of the social stealth genre.

God is a Geek - Chris White - 8.5 / 10

Hitman 3 is a satisfying farewell to Agent 47, with stunning locations, and endless opportunities to take out your targets.

Hardcore Gamer - Adam Beck - 3.5 / 5

In the current trilogy, Hitman 3 would be considered the weaker of the three.

Hobby Consolas - David Martinez - Spanish - 80 / 100

Hitman 3 is a good entry in the series. It deliver beautiful levels, such as Dartmoor or Chonqing, new assassination tools and it allows players to import maps from the previous games (with improved graphics), buy still, it´s mechanics and some AI elements feel outdated.

IGN - Luke Reilly - 9 / 10

Rich, rewarding, and highly replayable, Hitman 3 is one of the barcoded butcher's best appearances.

IGN Italy - Andrea Giongiani - Italian - 8 / 10

A nice conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy. Hitman III is "just" more of the same, but that's not a problem when the original material is that good.

Kotaku - Riley MacLeod - Unscored

Narratively and structurally, Hitman 3 strips its own make believe away, leaving the series' core darkness on display.

Metro GameCentral - Patrick Dane - 8 / 10

A great finale to the World of Assassination trilogy and the perfect time to end the reboot era, as the once revolutionary formula begins to show its age.

MonsterVine - Diego Escala - 5 / 5

Hitman 3 is a phenomenal closer to what has been an excellent trilogy in a series I hold dear.

Noisy Pixel - Azario Lopez - 9 / 10

Hitman 3 builds on the structure of its predecessors but doesn't recycle old mechanics. Its creative sandbox systems encourage multiple playthroughs with possible outcomes only limited by your imagination. Returning fans will get the most of this narrative as it ties up a few loose ends but doesn't totally stick the landing. It's absolutely brilliant in execution, though, as you replay missions for different results providing the most robust experience to those who spend the most time playing.

PC Gamer - Andy Kelly - 90 / 100

A beautiful, deep, and endlessly replayable murder sandbox, featuring some of the best levels in the series.

PCGamesN - Jordan Forward - 8 / 10

Another fine outing for Agent 47, and a fitting, hopefully brief, farewell to one of the best stealth series of the last decade.

PlayStation Universe - Neil Bolt - 9 / 10

Hitman 3 closes out the World of Assassination Trilogy with developer IO Interactive in confident mood. Lessons learned from the past five or six years have worked their way into this splendid epitaph for a series that looked dead and buried more than once along the way. As with its predecessor's, there are some lows to go with the highs, but those highs? They are truly something special and make the future of IO Interactive an exciting prospect.

Player2.net.au - Matt Hewson - A or higher

A franchise like no other comes to an epic and satisfying conclusion. Hitman III is the culmination of both story and development skill that will leave fans everywhere smiling with joy.

Polygon - Samit Sarkar - Unscored

IO Interactive delivers a terrific, thrilling finale for its trilogy

PowerUp! - Leo Stevenson - 9 / 10

It's enormously addictive and is endlessly replayable. For one of the first major releases in 2021, Hitman is an absolute home run

Press Start - James Mitchell - 8.5 / 10

HITMAN III is a decidedly epic conclusion to the events established in the first two games. It offers fantastic, well-realised locales with objectives that are unconventional, at least by HITMAN standards, to come out feeling fresh. Though in pursuit of this, it has lost a bit of the breadth we've come to expect from the series. Ultimately, it delivers what it promised to - a strong conclusion to the trilogy.

Push Square - Sammy Barker - 9 / 10

On its own, Hitman 3 is a moody conclusion to a generation-defining trilogy, but when taken as a complete compilation, it's the ultimate stealth sandbox. IO Interactive has honed its gameplay formula to perfection, and it's on top form here

Rectify Gaming - Dave Rodriguez - 9.6 / 10

After two decades of pasta cans, silver ballers, suitcase snipers and more, Hitman 3 delivers the perfect hit.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Brendan Caldwell - Unscored

As a final act, Hitman 3 is as capable and pleasing as its trilogy-siblings. As a trilogy, it is one of the most fun-loving games of the previous decade.

Screen Rant - Christopher Teuton - 4.5 / 5 stars

Hitman 3 is the best of the newer Hitman games and quite possibly the best Hitman game in the franchise.

Shacknews - Bill Lavoy - 9 / 10

It's great on its own, but combined with Hitman (2016) and Hitman 2 it helps make up the masterpiece which is the World of Assassination trilogy.

Spaziogames - Italian - 8.8 / 10

Hitman 3 is an amazingly crafted epilogue for the World of Assassination trilogy and the best modern Hitman yet.

The Games Machine - Daniele Dolce - Italian - 9 / 10

Hitman 3 dances asymptotically with the concept of perfection, often approaching it without ever really grasping its essence. Nevertheless, IO Interactive manages to improve and refine a well-established formula, while offering a a truly satisfying conclusion to 47's struggle against Providence. Although there are some flaws, they're almost entirely eclipsed by the incredible quality of everything else.

TheSixthAxis - Jim Hargreaves - 8 / 10

Charting the series' progress since that 2016 Paris debut has been a fascinating journey. IO have learned a lot over the past five years and that really shows in Hitman 3. It's a flashier, more fluid evolution of IO's original template - a rewarding conclusion to one of the most unique video game franchises around, and one we'll continue playing for many weeks and months to come.

TrueAchievements - Sean Carey - 4.5 / 5 stars

All in all, IO Interactive has stuck with what it knows best with Hitman 3: gorgeously crafted open playgrounds for the player to wreak slick and murderous havoc in.

TrueGaming - نواف النغموش - Arabic - 9 / 10

Hitman 3 is the quintessential stealth game.

Twinfinite - Tom Hopkins - 4 / 5

Without straying far from the successful sandbox formula, it's an excellent final part of IO's trilogy. While the increased freedom and level variety won't be for everyone, Hitman 3 boasts some of the best locations and stories the series has ever seen, and there's so much to uncover in each and every one of them.

VG247 - Alex Donaldson - 5 / 5 stars

Taken individually, Hitman 3 feels like great value, with plenty of variety and lots to do. When taken as a whole, the World of Assassination trilogy is hands-down one of the best and most complete-feeling trilogies in video game history.

WellPlayed - Dylan Blereau - 8.5 / 10

Hitman 3 does an excellent job of wrapping up the World of Assassination Trilogy, pairing the predictable yet enjoyable narrative with the refined and forever reliable Hitman gameplay

Windows Central - Zackery Cuevas - 4 / 5 stars

Hitman 3 features some of the most complex and most creative levels in the series history while polishing the gameplay to perfection. Unfortunately, it's held back by some hefty paywalls, uneven mission pacing, and some occasional clunky AI.

Worth Playing - Andreas Salmen - 8.6 / 10

The third Hitman game delivers a satisfying and worthwhile ending to the series and some fun and varied stages, all while adding a bunch of minor adjustments and content that fans will enjoy for hours. If you're a fan of the series, Hitman 3 is a very competent end to the trilogy that provides a massive and deep Hitman experience that is easy to recommend.

PSA: Hitman 3 Carryover Issue

Posted: 20 Jan 2021 08:36 AM PST

The website to transfer over the progress from Hitman 1 and 2 into 3 is currently under such an extreme load that its unusable.

The issue here is that all progress on Hitman 3 will be RESET once you do this transfer. So you shouldn't really play Hitman 3 until you push the progress over. Clearly this traffic load will resolve itself in a few days but until then you might want to just dick around in one of the older games until you can do the transfer.

Edit : Apparently IoI has fixed the website and now its finding accounts and linking them. The usage has risen considerably and now its constantly crashing during the process.

ELI5 - 30,45,60Hz battlefield games

Posted: 20 Jan 2021 03:21 PM PST

I'm not a tech n00b or a gaming n00b, but havent really paid attention to this...never noticed it in any game before "though I don't play like when I was a teenager"

I jump back and forth between Xbox and PC, I went to play bf4 first time in a few months.. and felt like I had input lag? Was always slow to react, aiming...Then I notice a 45hz server... I did much better Then I played a game of bf1.. noticed a 60hz server.. I was playing almost as good as I do on PC

Is this the refresh rate or something different? I noticed its only in smaller servers... I think they call it tick rate?? I don't believe the game is running at 30fps/45fps or 60fps? But I could be wrong...

Xbox One (not X or Series X) - External SATA SSD vs External NVMe

Posted: 20 Jan 2021 02:12 PM PST

The load times of Skyrim Special Edition (just my current example) do ok with the Xbox One with an external 2.5" SATA SSD. However, the load time going in and out of doors can still be annoying (albeit, still impressive). I was wondering if upgrading the external drive from the SATA SSD to a faster NVMe is going to make a difference. Or if the USB performance of the original Xbox One system wouldn't be good enough to take advantage of the NVMe speed.

Series X controller disconnecting

Posted: 20 Jan 2021 05:56 PM PST

I'm having an issue where my Series X controller keeps disconnecting from my Xbox every time I change the batteries. Whenever I turn it on after putting in new batteries the guide button starts flashing like it's trying to find a console but no matter how many times I try to get it to connect to the Series X it won't work unless I completely shut down the console. I think it's worth noting that this is something that started happening recently (maybe last week) and it was fine before then. Has anyone else been having this issue? Is there a fix? Any help is appreciated.

Black ops download problems

Posted: 20 Jan 2021 03:43 PM PST

When it said there was an update for Black Ops, I started the update and began to wait. Then I realized it was stuck at 100 percent "finishing things up" and was showing no signs of stopping. I uninstalled COD and began reinstalling it. This is where my xbox just said "nope" and rejected me ever playing this game again until a fucking eighth of a year from now. Call of duty was downloading quickly and normally and it even said "ready to start" about halfway through. However, the size of the game read 30 GB even though it's really not, but I ignored this. I waited for it to finish and then clicked on it. Then it said it requires an update around the size of 70 GB, the rest of the GB that the full game takes up. All normal so far, right? Nope, because the speed of the update is, I kid you not, 10 kbps, which is going to take me 25 days and nights to complete. Fuck that. So, I uninstalled the game and began again, and it just repeated itself. someone PLEASE HELP ME, I DONT WANT TO WAIT THAT LONG TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!!! IT's not a problem with my internet download speed, I've checked. It's a problem with call of duty maybe? it goes SO FAST at first but when it needs the update it goes SO SLOW! what am I supposed to do????

EDIT: I found out that this problem is only with black ops. It's only with black ops. I've tried downloading and updating other games and it goes so goddamn fast but when I try it with black ops it takes an eternity.
