Hitman: Absolution was, for some, a bit hit and miss. Mostly, fans of the series didn't like the way in which the game took a linear approach to the way you assassinated targets, and although you were still able to take people out in any order, the levels felt marginally confined and players also...

Finally, Agent 47 has made his way to current-gen. The last Hitman game, Absolution , released at the end of 2012, and it's safe to say that most long-time fans of the series were not impressed; Absolution was very different to its predecessor, Blood Money (widely considered the high-point of the...

Incredibly replayable; Very fun; Level design is fantastic

Only one non-tutorial level; Server issues can make it unplayable at times

Hitman , as the solitary name implies, is a return to what made the series appealing, a restart of sorts (not a reboot) for the sixth game in the franchise that brings back the open approach to thinking up ingenious ways to take down targets.

This is the the best hitman in my opinion, because it has a lot of content like story mode, contracts, and more, and the collectors edition is definitely worth a buy if your a hitman fan.

Hitman has been a curious series. The frustratingly inconsistent nature of the first three games still managed to find an audience thanks to its unique charms, but remained very much a cult hit until Blood Money arrived and found a near-perfect balance of hardcore stealth and accessibility.

The new Hitman makes its debut as the first episode of a complete story. It's where you train as Agent 47 during his induction into the International Contract Agency to familiarize yourself with the flow of missions.

Missions are flexible and open to a variety of strategies; Entertaining means of killing targets; Excellent replayability

Inconsistent AI thwarts immersion; Missions rely too strongly on using disguises; Technical shortcomings lend a rushed quality to the experience

The surprisingly successful mobile spin-off comes to PS4 and PS Vita, in what is essentially Hitman: The Board Game.

Clever presentation and an interesting mix between standard Hitman gameplay and a more abstract portable puzzler; Plenty of stages and a steady supply of new features

The puzzles and stages are all fairly simple and easy once you get used to the logic involved; Too much trial and error may frustrate some people
