As a series long fan, I'm having a blast with HITMAN from the beta till now. It has a whole new approach to the way missions are set up. Levels are reminiscent of Blood Money in terms of scale and options -- heck, you can now poison ALL the drinks and drop ALL the chandeliers -- but the overarching setup is aimed more towards completionism.

Like in Absolution, you have an overview of opportunities and discoveries that await you in the level, and you're challenged to find them all and succeed in using them all. I really like this, although it feels a bit too guided. A huge part of this can be fixed by setting 'Opportunities' in the gameplay settings to 'Minimal', which changes the game from a hand-holding fest to a mix of trial and error and paying attention to conversations, which again I love.

TL;DR: Mixes Blood Moneys expansive levels and options with a great sense of completionism, that may be too guiding but this can be addressed. It has some technical flaws but these don't stop me from really enjoying this game.

Two years after writing the initial review, I still play the game occasionally, and I can say I got more than my money's worth out of the full package. Looking forward to season 2.

This is strategy at its core! The tactical options are amazing while the controls are kept fairly simple as opposed to, say, Frozen Synapse. I think it cuts all the necessary clutter for this to be on of the best tactical games of recent times, and the power you feel while your masterplan unfolds is tremendous. Fan of any tactical games, Rainbow Sixes, SWATs or the like? Play this!

Normally, I don't like games that lack most things that make them games. KRZ doesn't have a lot of challenge, but the narrative experience and the presentation are absolutely wonderful. It's abstract, melancholic, but it has beautiful moments of joy. It's best enjoyed with little in-between time to really take you on a ride, so I think I'll revisit Act I and II before booting up Act III.

This is one of the best co-op games I've ever played. I really like that it's equally fun to plan and execute missions very smartly, and to run around the level with four people getting chased by everyone. This makes it a brilliant party game, because thinking isn't always required. The different characters are also a great addition to this, everyone will find their favourite very quickly and it really enhances teamwork. But really, just buy this if you like local or online co-op, you won't be disappointed.

So I'm just going to say 'Not recommended' if you expect this to be in the line of the previous Hitman games. In the meanwhile, IO themselves have admitted that Absolution was more of a lesson for them, than something to continue upon. If you look at it as a stand-alone game, it's quite fun, but I feel it's more of a Splinter Cell and Hitman hybrid than really Hitman. This isn't the way I want this series to go. 47 shouldn't be on the run; he should be in control when he's on missions.

Main reasons: instead of relying on disguises to get you through missions, you have to duck into cover a lot, which makes it feel more like Thief or Splinter Cell. There are missions that are fairly uninteresting, but there are very fun kill missions. The checkpoints are awful sometimes, and I'd rather choose my own save points.. Taking out three targets with a lot of precision by 'accidents' whilst looking for checkpoints on the level in the meanwhile doesn't make it more fun. The story is quite Hitman-esque with dark humour, that's a good thing. All in all: please make the sixth Hitman more like SA and BM!

Best platformer I've played in years. JUST. PLAY. THIS.
