For the most part, it is more of the same but that does gives us more of some of the best. Same great gameplay and world design with some excellent maps, entertaining people and settings, killing rich assholes, and the ability to bring equipment you earn into the other two games in the series. Updates Hitman 1 and 2 to be in line with this game.

Not much in the way of new mechanics, you have a phone to hack a few things in some missions and keypads exist now that require you to learn or memorize the codes for them. A bit lacking in content with just five main maps (with the Berlin map probably being the worst in the three games and squanders what could have been an interesting concept), a short linear finale, no sniper missions, and the three escalations missions locked behind an overpriced deluxe edition.

The story is dull and basically repeated from previous games with the same Diana and 47 constantly and never betraying each other. Frequent crashes and connection errors, don't know if the crashes are the game, server, or Epic's fault. With the option of having all three game's levels played through Hitman 3 (thankfully while taking less space) this is one of my favorite games even though I can't say the maps or mechanics have grown since 2.
