Our analysis
Mack calls Hitman 3's six missions the best in the series, praising the UK mansion and Berlin rave and the hugely replayable sandbox freedom. The AI and bugs are unchanged from Hitman 2 and it is pricey for its content, but he thumbs it up as his favorite of the series.
Our analysis
A clear buy and a fantastic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy, with phenomenal value since prior maps carry over and import at little or no extra cost. The sandbox stealth gameplay is the star, offering enormous replayability and standout levels like the Dartmoor mansion murder mystery. The story is serviceable but forgettable, and the only real annoyance is intrusive server connection checks that interrupt play.
Our analysis
A fantastic, slick, and intricate stealth finale to the World of Assassination trilogy, with stunning level design and a wealth of creative ways to eliminate targets. The cloud streaming version on Switch works surprisingly well for this mostly slow-paced game, with the gorgeous Dubai opener and varied missions translating impressively. Drawbacks are launch-day connection trouble, occasional stuttering and image blur, long load times, and finicky Joy-Con aiming, all dependent on having strong bandwidth.
Our analysis
A top-notch VR experience whose meticulously detailed, lived-in sandbox levels create a powerful sense of presence and immersion. It suffers from cut-back visuals, pop-in, limited instinct vision, and a wonky hybrid control scheme that can break immersion in the heat of action. Despite the scrappiness, the level design and freedom more than make up for the flaws.
Our analysis
Really just a new mission pack for the established formula, with a recycled, going-nowhere plot and only a handful of new missions that mostly tread familiar ground. The handheld, linear mission stories are the worst part and break immersion, but the game finally clicks once you ignore them and improvise your own assassinations in the dense, sprawling sandbox levels. Still hampered by the cock-up cascade and a constant need to save-scum, since one misstep cascades into chaos.
Our analysis
An excellent end to the World of Assassination trilogy, with six dramatically different and stunningly designed locations offering countless mysteries and creative approaches. The story reaches a gratifying conclusion and heavy replay incentives keep missions engaging long after the roughly eight-to-ten-hour campaign. It does not reinvent the formula, leaving room for more notable updates, but it remains a great entry point for newcomers.
Our analysis
The strongest entry in the World of Assassination trilogy, finally locking everything together with incredible, intricately designed sandbox levels and deeply satisfying, replayable assassination scenarios. The added thread of story and persistent shortcuts strengthen the experience, and the game is visually stunning, though the narrative payoff and flat cutscenes land as a disappointment. A smartly designed, content-rich package that rewards creative play.
Our analysis
Brilliantly closes out the trilogy by playing off everything that came before. Phenomenal design rewards mastery of complex levels. Continues to be great with all Hitman content in one place.

Our analysis
A strong, satisfying conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy that plays as more of a polished continuation than a true sequel. The maps are mostly excellent, with Dartmoor's murder-mystery scenario and the Berlin and Mendoza levels standing out, while the linear Carpathian Mountains finale and vent-heavy China map disappoint. Deep replayability and clever location mastery keep it compelling.

PewDiePie plays Hitman's VR mode purely for laughs — finds the VR controls janky and 'hilariously bad', but is clearly entertained, treating it as comedy (blending in at a party, banana-weapon kills) rather than a serious review.

Our analysis
The Hitman trilogy offers engaging gameplay and impressive environments in VR, but the PC VR implementation suffers from significant technical issues including poor default resolution, misaligned hand tracking, and lack of room-scale support.
