After three wonderful Episodes of Hitman, IO Interactive drops the ball by delivering a chunk of content that's not nearly as thoughtful as what came before. But even if this installment comes off as a little disappointing, you should still get some enjoyment out of it if you enjoyed Agent 47's...

IO Interactive has, after several months, finally put a full stop at the end of the first season of Hitman . The experiment with episodic content drops has, for the most part, been a success, and now that the dust has settled and we've seen the credits roll, it's time to take stock and look at what...

The final episode of Hitman's 2016 season threw me for a loop. Taking place in the mountains of Japan, I was ordered to take out a stationary target without any weapons on hand. It was clear that the developers at IO Interactive set out to challenge the player in unique ways and it certainly paid...

Intricate map design; Creating my own opportunities; Amazing graphical detail

Irrelevant final scene; Lame execution of one target

Here it is. The final episode of Hitman ‘s first season, and what a season it's been. We've been playing through each new episode for the last 7 months; not every addition has been fantastic, but there hasn't been a bad one in the bunch.

Good episode to close out the season; Interesting ways to take out target

Doesn't offer a conclusive end to the story

Hitman's first season is a full-blown triumph. IO Interactive has masterfully pulled off this gamble with relatively few hiccups along the way. The world of assassination has never been a finer place to visit than it is right now.

Everyone's favourite slap-headed assassin is back, better than ever and with a few new additions in Hitman: The Complete First Season , a collection of all of the episodic chapters released since the game first launched in March 2016 and returned the series to its rightful place as the number one...

Snatched me bald.

Stunning locations; Variety of killing methods; Tons of replayability

Load times between deaths; Weak story

With the HITMAN series now out on disk, where you can pickup every episode all at once, we thought we would re-run our review of the entire series. These games were all played in episodic format, but can now be obtained all at once.

Usually we'd say that Telltale Games, famed for The Walking Dead, Minecraft: Story Mode, Wolf Among Us, Batman and other series, was the king of episodic games, but IO Interactive has very much stolen that crown with its novel take on the Hitman franchise.

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...
