Overall, this is the best version of Hitman you can get, as it is the complete version. This is especially nice, if you don’t own any of the prior content.
Despite its flaws, Hitman: Definitive Edition is a solid installment in the Hitman franchise and serves as a quality introduction to a reboot of a classic title. The Definitive Edition is a great way for players to pass the time until Hitman 2 launches.

A classic, it really makes you wanna play each level again and again to find out how to kill your targets differently and discover new ways to use your environment to your advantage. You learn to think like an assassin, stealthy and precise.

Agent 47 is still killing it and he now has more ways to look stylish with three exclusive Definitive Edition outfits. However, if you already own the Game of the Year version then there really isn't much new to see here.
Hitman is back, and this time more complete than ever before. With all the new content bundled with the core game, players get more action served. Sadly most technical flaws still remain, but overall the package succeeds.
Easily one of the best Hitman games. The many approaches to each assassination, and depth to each one is astounding. It’s amazing how everything works like clockwork.
I’m frankly shocked by the low score.

Hitman is a kind of reboot of a series of games about the adventures of an unnamed assassin, a departure from the heavy, fictional climate of 'Absolution' and the long-awaited fulfillment of all fans' requests for the new production to return to its former tracks, to the roots of the series in the place where it left them, namely to the fourth part of the series which is entitled 'Hitman Blood Money'.
Every fan and enthusiast of the series will receive in the latest title everything that they know from 'Blood Money' only better, more, more interesting and transparent.
The story is again just the outer layer of the game and provides a complementary background without affecting the gameplay in any way.
Again, there will be 47 flying around the world, looking at new places, and in them with pleasure to murder the goals commissioned by the ICA.
The briefing known from 'Bloody Money' returns, in which 47 can again choose his equipment, which, along with the development of game progress, is enriched with new tools of murder.
The game is definitely more transparent and legible. Added to it are challenges to be achieved, places to explore, feats to perform, and special opportunities with which you can eliminate the goal in a sophisticated way.
Hitman is a hybrid of the last two titles of the Danish studio IO Interactive.
Proven solutions from 'Absolution' such as: instinct, hiding behind obstacles or suspicions of bystanders have been mixed with the gameplay model known from 'Blood Money' improving it and making it version 2.0.
However, you have to ask the question whether all the changes made are changes for the better - in my opinion not.
There is even a lack of effective intuitive shooting.
An interesting story layer that will absorb the player as in the case of 'Absolution'.
Graphically, Hitman is a game worse than the previous part. And they divide them, up to 4 years difference. Graphic models do not match the 2016 game standards - there has been a fairly serious regression in this respect.
Thanks to the new formula, the playability of the title has decreased, and it is more difficult for the user to feel the atmosphere of the game. In 7 locations only the last one - the medical center on the Japanese island of Hokkaido has treated me with its setting.
When we add to this the astronomical amount that the creators demanded for buying their product, the decision to buy it prompts more reflection.
In addition, at some stage of the game the potential viewer may get tired. The game is not as macabre colorful as its predecessor, and it looks neat, clean and elegant. There are few spectacular killings, and even they do not provide too much admiration.
There is "what to do" in the new Hitman. The content of the game is rich, I spent less than 70 hours myself, but the quality was hit at the expense of quantity.
If this part were released in 2012, immediately after 'Hitman: Blood Money', I would praise the title, appreciating its progress, because I can't think of anything but the term - Blood Money 2.0.
Only that..
Exactly, just that the perfect Hitman Absolution appeared on the way, and comparing these three titles side by side, today this edition is the best part about the adventures of the nameless killer.
Final note: 7, good

First of all, I found the menus very confusing in this game. There were so many options that I didn't know how to even begin playing the game. I suspect this is down to the game originally being released in stages. I also don't appreciate the home screen trying to sell me crap - I just want to play the game!
One thing that stood out in the game was that the graphics can be so great but the framerate absolutely dreadful at times. I usually have to focus very hard to see framerate issues but the stuttering and jagged-edges of Hitman is very noticeable and very frequent. Still, it doesn't ruin the experience.
Like all Hitman games, the gameplay is where it stands out. The sandbox you are dropped into each level is amazing. It can be fun to explore and familiarise yourself with your settings before finding the assassination method that suits you best. Quite often I stumbled onto methods serendipituously, but that's part of the experience.
What did grind my gears a lot were the slow menus when I paused the game. It took far too long to save my game and then even longer when I wanted to reload a save after screwing something up. I hope they fix this in the sequel, which I may buy soon.
Overall, a decent game but they screwed up in a few places. I'm hoping they've learned their lessons and have corrected things in the sequel.

Never understood the apeal of this games. The intelligence of the npc is really bad and for me that ruins most of the fun. You can do something in a lot of different ways but overall the game don't motivate you to try different things to complete a mission.
