The definitive way to play what is objectively the best puzzle game that doesn’t seem like a puzzle game of all time.
Just logging all three in one, but this is the peak of the series
in my opinion the best in the hitman series, and probably the best stealth action game i've ever played. it was a great move to incorporate the whole woa trilogy into one game, and i applaud io interactive for making the less greedy choice (for once)
my favorite levels in the trilogy were the hitman 2016 levels, so getting to play them with the updated graphics, new items, and new gameplay features is amazing.
the visuals and level architecture is amazing, my personal favorite in terms of visuals is chongqing, with it's cyberpunk city asthetic. the soundtrack is also my favorite out of the series, being very cinematic and fitting with the story well, and the sound design is just as satisfying as 2016's.
in terms of gameplay, hitman 2 and 3 fixed a lot of minor annoyances i had with hitman 2016, including not having the ability to use instinct while aiming a gun, some awkward movement, and the addition of a green/yellow/red gun indicator for silent assassin.
the best thing about the hitman series is it's ability to accommodate vastly different playstyles, whether you want to sneak around and kill every target silently with no unnecessary casualties, or if you want to go wild and take out everyone on the map. there are so many different ways to complete any objective in any level, (except carpathian mountains, we don't talk about carpathian mountains) that it's almost a sandbox game. this also lends itself very well to speedrunning, as you can set up intricate kills and set them off from afar with all the gadgets and tools you bring with you from outside of the mission, as well as items you can find inside levels.
i won't be going into freelancer here, given that i haven't played it fully, (most of my time played was before it came out) but from what i have played it's pretty fun, albeit kind of buggy.
i haven't completed all achievements for this game yet, but i have beaten every level with the silent assassin and suit only rank, and done many contracts and elusive target missions. i've spent over 200 hours in the game, most of which has been speedrunning.
definitely up there with the stealth greats.
amazing game.

i finally get it
there's a few stinker levels which feel like suck if you don't want to just shoot the guy and run off but also, you can just shoot the guy and run off
I LOVE HITMAN I LOVE HITMAN I LOVE HITMAN I LOVE HITMAN I LOVE HITMAN I LOVE HITMAN I LOVE HITMAN I LOVE HITMAN I LOVE HITMAN
I love this game with all my heart and soul. I took a chance on it back when it launched in 2016 and I still find myself coming back to it now at the start of 2024. So incredibly happy that IOI were able to find success with this after all they were put through, and I'm so glad to finally see the whole trilogy wrapped up in one neat little package.
You owe it to yourself to play this, there's really no other stealth game like it.

one of the best stealth games of all time.
I hit a guard in the head with a coconut and the dopamine receptors go wild. Few games are as good at what they set out to do as IO's Hitman games are at creating the conditions for interesting/engaging im sim play. Freelancer mode makes full use of the systems and maps that often end up underutilized while playing its story campaign.
One of the greatest games of all time. You can put hundreds of hours into this game and still not get bored. There's always something to do. At the same time, you can just play for 20-40 hours and drop out. There isn't a time commitment or a time sink, you get out of it what you put into it. Phenomenal open gameplay that gets better and better as you learn the game's intricacies, amazingly crafted world that feels alive and moving, beautiful level design both visually and gameplay-wise. Man, this really is one of my favorite games ever made.
——世界是个草台班子——
新三部曲合集，作为一个强调伪装的潜入类游戏，区别于常规潜入游戏的通关思路是找到防守的薄弱点不断找到更高级的伪装以接近目标，而NPC和物品交互的涌现性使得本作的玩法上限更上一层楼。每一关的地图都各具特色，并配有相当不错的画面演出规格。一周目通关无论是当做射击游戏还是潜行游戏来玩，甚至是当做纯粹的农家乐看风景游戏都能找到不一样的乐趣。 但制作组本意应该是打算做成生化危机那样的多周目雕花游戏，玩家先跟着任务故事体验一遍剧情并熟悉地图，逐渐完成各种挑战解锁新的开场设置，最终研究出自己独特的通关路线。但全程联网和极少的存档栏位导致本作的多周目体验略有瑕疵。
关卡设计方面，第一部只有北海道的手术台有点折磨人。第二部的终点线无论是从关卡设计还是氛围营造上都可以说是系列最好的任务。第三部开始减少了任务故事的数量，提高了任务质量，并且关卡结构并不完全遵循相同的套路：3-5除了击杀目标外，还要注意不要把戴安娜也顺手杀了； 3-3则真的让你体验了一把失去戴安娜的感受：无法接收任何情报和任务，只能硬着头皮一个一个找。 3-2又变成了侦探游戏，只要根据线索找到凶手，暗杀目标自己就会送上门来。 我曾经吐槽过作为一个大型DLC，第二部的第一章做得跟教学关一样，第三部显著改善了这一点，他们把最后一章做成教学关了：地图被分解成了无数个小关卡，相互之间没有联系，做题感十分强烈。
说起来，这个系列完美地诠释了“这个世界就是个草台班子”，军火商吃路边摊吃到窜稀，地头蛇被豆腐渣工程冲进粪坑，就连开发商IOI自己的一系列骚操作也证明了，在游戏发行这方面真别怪SE，你跺你也麻。

The definitive Hitman experience
The perfect stealth (puzzle?) game. Freelancer mode, while not the first thing I'd recommend for a new player, makes this an endlessly replayable package.
Pretty much perfect.
The only issue I have is that the Servers tend to disconnect too often wich is annoying.
This is the Ultimate Assassination Experience

This is the Ultimate Assassination Experience
The ultimate puzzle solving game. It scratched an itch I didn't know I had, to figure out how to beat a complex computer simulation in the most effective and creative ways I could come up with.
Unrivaled level design, brilliant stealth mechanics, and amazingly creativity. And it does all of that while not taking itself too seriously, including some truly laughable moments and easter eggs, creating a seriously perfect gaming experience.
One of the few games I will actually 100%

Extremely underrated, love this game a lot, one of the only games I think is justified to be $70.
Online only sucks though.

HITMAN World of Assassination es la colección definitiva de los juegos de HITMAN modernos, conocidos por su enfoque en el sigilo, la gran cantidad de formas en las que puedes eliminar a tus objetivos y sus detallados mapas increíblemente inmersivos. Incluyendo los tres juegos más actuales, el contenido que ofrece esta colección es más que suficiente para tenerte horas jugando, considerando el alto nivel de rejugabilidad que hay a lo largo de la trilogía. Además, incluye un modo "roguelike" llamado Freelancer en el cual tienes que eliminar a una serie de objetivos random en locaciones distintas y con una cantidad limitada de vidas, empezando desde cero si se acaban.
De la historia no puedo hablar mucho ya que no le presté mucha atención, pues es el gameplay en donde la trilogía brilla, pero puedo decir que, una vez jugados los primeros dos HITMAN y prestar algo más de atención a la historia del 3, puedo decir que terminé interesándome en la línea narrativa y todo el tema del pasado del Agente 47. Las mini-historias que ocurren en cada locación también son bastante interesantes e incluso divertidas, ya que en general el juego tiene un sentido del humor muy bueno. Disfruté mucho ser el guía del tour por la planta de fabricación de vino en Argentina, y hacerle caer la prensa gigante de uvas en toda la cabeza al objetivo.
Como dije, el gameplay es el fuerte de estos juegos y no puedo decir nada negativo de él. Nunca me han interesado los juegos de sigilo, pero en este caso no todo es siempre sigilo, hay exploración, pseudo-roleplay cuando tienes que hacerte pasar por otras personas para colarte en algunos lugares, observación y, en ocasiones, acción. Puedes perfectamente acabar un nivel a balazos, lo difícil es sobrevivir.
Los elementos negativos que le quitan una estrella son, por un lado, el requisito de estar conectado siempre a internet, lo cual es absurdo siendo un juego single-player; y por otro lado, algunos objetivos que son bastante tediosos, sobre todo aquellos en los que tienes que resolver algún tipo de puzzle o encontrar un objeto específico para acabar el nivel. Más allá de esto, la trilogía moderna de HITMAN es excelente y la recomiendo totalmente.

great great game. so much detail and very replayable regardless of the story. hitman 2 was my favourite of the three. can see myself coming back from time to time especially on some of the bigger maps.
El juego es increíble, la historia es muy buena y los niveles están increíblemente bien diseñados, hasta los peores siguen teniendo un estándar bastante alto.
Hitman World of Assassination is a collection of the 3 games in the Modern Hitman trilogy, after putting in over 100 hours I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed the game, not only is the stealth and puzzle solving truly immaculate I was able to get invested with what the game presented, that of a sandbox to eliminate targets in fun and exciting ways.
The only complaint I have about the game is the occasional bug and also the horrible story, the main story of the game has very little substance and was clearly put to the side in favor of the stories presented in the levels that are more fleshed out.
The first game is great, the second is perfection and the third needed more time.

Joguei pra testar e me diverti pra caralho, possui uma narrativa extremamente interessante com uma gameplay absurdamente divertida.
pretty good! the first like half of this was a replay pretty much but the new stuff from 2 and 3 was very fun! some of the more "cinematic" elements in the new 3 missions did rub me the wrong way a bit but otherwise, A+
This trilogy sits happily in my All-Timers list and, while it understandably might anger purists of the genre, this does firmly fit into so much of the Immersive Sim genre.
There's very few games for the price-to-gameplay value this trilogy has. It's honestly quite stunning.
For people who want to jump in though for the first time: Do yourself a favor and turn off all mission story guides. Just drop into a level and ... work.

An exceptional stealth game that I truly do not have time for right now. This one will be revisited later.
The quintessential stealth assassination game(s).
It's really hard to see how you can have something better than this game's formula for a stealth assassination game. This whole thing is just so good. The levels are simply stunning, intricate and fun to play. Add to that freelancer, a genius way to have an excuse of reutilizing the game's emergent gameplay in an infinite variety of scenarios and you have a cult classic which will forever stay as the best you can do in the genre.
Perfect stealth trio.
The levels are so good
The levels are so good
At some point I just kinda think Agent 47 does this for the fun of it
the best stealth games ever, and the coolest speedruns.
