As you can see, the game receives high marks that don't fall below 70%. For now, it's hard to come across mentions of some serious flaws. The most critical comment that appears in the reviews concerns the heavily linear and relatively short final map.
Reviewers also agree on the game's strong points. Hitman 3 is a great expansion of the formula developed over the last two installments. The other five maps featured in the game are praised for their design and unique mechanics, allowing for a great deal of freedom and the completion of objectives in many different ways. At the same time, the intrigues presented in them can keep you interested.
Hitman 3 will be coming to PC (only on Epic Games Store) as well as PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch tomorrow.
