Very disappointed

Cute isn't a word I'd normally use to describe a Hitman game, but there are definitely elements of cuteness in Hitman Go. It's presente...

All the content from the iOS game; and no microtransactions; Brilliant puzzle design; Your parents may not disapprove for once

Sometimes the controls don't work; Annoying load screen when you hit restart; You're more or less forced to do it 'the correct way

Hitman Episode 3: Marrakesh doesn't reach the highs of the previous levels and suffers more than ever from the extremely superficial approach to voice acting. It's not a bad level, but it's definitely one that I'd be less inclined to return to than the others I've played so far.

Intelligent; patient gameplay; Replay potential remains high; Bustling city

Horrific voice acting; Map is less interesting

After a hat trick of great episodes, IO Interactive's globetrotting assassin series falters just a bit with this fourth installment. On...

Hitman Intro Pack will cost you $15, with each upcoming location carrying the retail price of $10. Time will tell if this is a good business model. However, from what we can tell at the moment, a majority of users aren't quite happy with having yet another triple-A game that's chopped up and...

It's cool to see just how many ways there are to approach each situation; the game is technically solid; as is the AI

Its core mechanics are repetitive and its premise bland; not yet sure if this episodic route is the way to go

The Hitman Intro Pack is satisfying to play, there just isn't enough of it. This ought to be rectified by the second episode next month, and by then its servers should be stable as well.

Sneaky, satisfying sandbox gameplay; Lots of NPCs; Great level design; Plenty of approach options; Contracts mode returns

Not enough content; Long load times; Massive server issues; Story confusingly presented

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

We live in a time right now when we have everything at our fingertips – information, friendships and of course, video games. In amongst the sickeningly colourful worlds of Candy Crush and Angry Birds, a new title has emerged and taken mobile gaming in a new direction – Hitman GO.

Whether you love it or hate it, much of the discussion surrounding IO Interactive's latest installment of Hitman has been focused on its episodic format. The decision to split the experience into individual levels and sell them piecemeal was a major focus (and criticism) in my review of Episode 1,...
