Hitman Go was one of the mobile games that Square-Enix made back when they owned both Hitman and IO Interactive. I'm not going to make this review very long because there isn't much to say about this game. Hitman GO is a simple puzzle game, and it plays very similar to Lara Croft Go except for some minor differences.

In this game each level is laid out like a board game, and you move your game piece, AKA Agent 47, across the board. As you move from one spot to the next, the game will have enemies on the board that will end your game if you move adjacent to them. Some of these enemies are stationery and others move along the board with you. So, your goal and the puzzle for each level is to figure out how to get through the enemies to the finish line. As the levels get harder the game starts to provide you with disguises and weapons for you to use for you to be able to finish the level.

In Hitman Go, each level also gives you three objectives. One of them is always the same and that is to complete the level, and the other two are different depending on the level like collect the briefcase or no kills. I guess this was their way of trying to add replayability, but honestly these objectives just felt tedious and made the game feel longer than it needed to be. Unlike Lara Croft go where you earn rewards for finding all the collectables, Hitman GO gives you nothing for completing all objectives except for an achievement or trophy. Hitman GO isn't a bad puzzle game, but I honestly feel like Lara Croft GO is the better game comparatively. If you do feel inclined to play this game, I recommend waiting for a sale.

Pros:
+ decent puzzle game

Cons:
-no unlockables for completing objectives in the game
-the game feels unnecessarily long
