Who made Hitman 3?
IOI made Hitman 3 and also self published the game as well after the studio regained its independence after a 2017 split from Square Enix. Now that the Hitman trilogy is finished, it looks like the studio is moving onto a James Bond trilogy in the same vein according to game director.
Is Hitman 3 fun?
Hitman 3 is a lot of fun, but it’s a slow burning fun. Hitman 3, like many others in the series, starts to make sense when you slow down the game and start to observe the puzzle unfolding around you and methodically figure out how to put the pieces together.
Is Hitman 3 co op?
Hitman 3 is a fully single player experience but the addition of co-op, either local or online, would be a great addition in the future. Imagine if Agent 47 and another agent were working together and had to flip switches simultaneously or take sniper shots in sync.
Is Hitman 3 couples friendly?
Hitman 3 could be a game that is enjoyed together as the game is very slow and methodical and you need to listen to many conversation and explore nearly every nook and cranny of each mission. It’s not a lot different from watching a similar themed movie on Netflix. Hitman 3 also doesn’t usually require fast twitch controls so passing the controls is easy between any level of gamer.
Does Hitman 3 look good?
Hitman 3 looks fantastic on the next-gen PS5 from the very first mission in Dubai. The lighting, reflections and HDR are on full display from the very first moment you are able to control 47. According to Digital Foundry, Hitman 3 is running at 1800p/60 on the PS5 and if you’re lucky enough true 4K on the Xbox Series X.
How is the audio in Hitman 3?
For the most part the audio is great but there have been some inconsistencies including music abruptly ending, multiple conversations happening making it hard to eavesdrop, and even during cutscenes some characters will just stop speaking. These instances are generally few and far between and don’t add up to much more than a occasional nuisance.
Does Hitman 3 utilize the DualSense?
As an early adopter of the PS5, I was hopeful that Hitman 3 might incorporate the DualSense in a lot of different and innovative ways. It turns out to be a good news/bad news situation with some great execution with the DualSense when you walk on an apartment building roof with commercial A/C units, you can feel the deep frequency rumble you would expect in real life or when you pull out a weapon the adaptive triggers engage. Unfortunately, there seemed like areas of missed opportunity with different guns feeling different or the boom of breaking a door lock with a crowbar.
Does Hitman 3 have technical issues?
Hitman 3 is using the same engine as the previous games, which means that there are still times when you fully see the gears of the machine at work or people fall out of the sky into place in front of you or glitch uncontrollably while you are dragging them, but for the most part the amount of moving parts in each mission are handled impressively.
Do I need to play previous Hitman games?
Hitman 3 does a great job of filling in players to the story before each mission with an in depth cutscene and even great one at the start of the game to get everyone up to speed. Having played the previous two games in the series but bouncing off fairly early, there is no need to play the previous games. There are parts of the story that would likely hit deeper but IOI does a great job welcoming new players.
Does Hitman 3 have planned DLC?
Considering Hitman (2016) was a live service game and Hitman 2 had an expansion pass with new locations and contacts, it would be very surprising if Hitman 3 didn’t get more content post release. According to a recent interview with The Gamer the executive producer said “we are definitely going to be doing some DLC but we haven’t defined what that is” As it currently sounds it will be more escalation missions and elusive targets, which are always good to bring players back.

Does Hitman 3 have replay value?
The Hitman series has never been about long play time or 100 hour campaigns, but what it encourages is replay. There are a multitude of paths to take in order to complete each mission and Hitman 3 wants to you find them all. At the end of each mission your choices are highlighted beside the darkened choices you didn’t make.

Hitman 3, like the two previous entries before it, is focused on a few small crafted missions. At the launch of the game there are only six locations including Dubai, Dartmoor, Berlin, Chongqing, Mendoza and the Carpathian Mountains meaning that if you don’t get noticed too many times, you could easily binge this game in one extended sitting.
Are the trophies or achievements good in Hitman 3?

What does Hitman 3 do better than predecessors?
Hitman 3 uses its evolution of the Glacier engine to make immersion even better than before. Everything in the game becomes one step further in the direction of realism from shadows, lighting effects and reflections. This all goes a long way in making the player more immersed. One of the new additions is finding certain doors and paths and unlocking them permanently for future runs, similar to Metroidvania’s or Souls games.
What could Hitman 3 do without?
Hitman 3 doesn’t seem to have a true need for always being connected like some live service games need to be. This especially rears its ugly head during a mission when you are disconnected from the server and to continue tallying up your score you need to be online. Hitman 3 can be played offline as well but why not just check in with the servers at the end of the mission.
What is the best part about Hitman 3?
Hitman 3 shows just how prepared the studio is to take over the James Bond franchise. 007 has always been about travelling the world to exotic locales, gadgetry and double crossing and Hitman 3 displays its excellence in all of those categories with storylines beats and new equipment for agent 47.
Do you recommend Hitman 3?
Hitman 3 is a great time and the introductory Dubai mission serves as a much greater tutorial mission that previous games which doesn’t instantly overwhelm the player with challenge.
