Hitman 3 is an excellent conclusion to a brilliant reboot trilogy to a beloved series. Hitman 3 takes all the strengths from the previous 2 entries and blends it together into a wonderfully orchestrated experience of mayhem. With that said there are some issues with this game. Namely a level in this game feels particularly on rails (no pun intended) and it left me wanting a little more. Getting one of the 6 level slots of this game dedicated to essentially what feels like a playable cutscene felt a little unfortunate, but despite this, the other missions are a blast to playthrough. You will notice coming from Hitman 2 that there are a considerable lack of the number of Mission Stories/Opportunities per level leaving the player to use their creativity if they want different ways to take out their targets. This may be an issue to some, but for others who didn't like the hand holding nature of the reboots may find this as a welcome change. I felt indifferent about it as I usually play both story missions, and try my own approaches. All in all the game is a great way to cap off the series for the time being and I see it going down in franchise history as a fan favorite.
