– Max Scovilleįor more, check out IGN's Hitman 3 review. It's bittersweet to see this trilogy come to an end, but it certainly went out with a bang, possibly caused by an exploding rubber duck. Better still, Hitman 3 would've made an impressive showcase of next-gen consoles on its own, but IO went above and beyond and overhauled the first two Hitman games so they looked and played with the same fidelity. In a year of social distancing, virtually attending a packed Berlin rave, wine tasting in Argentina, and schmoozing atop a Dubai skyscraper was a nice consolation price for being stuck on the couch - and obviously, y'know, doing slapstick murders and whatnot was fun too. Couple that with the fact that early 2021 absolutely sucked for travel of any kind, and getting to look over Agent 47's shoulder as he explored exotic new locales was especially welcome.
In a lot of ways, Hitman 3 is more of the same, but considering the incredibly high bar set by the first two entries in IO interactive's World of Assasination trilogy, that's by no means a bad thing.
