Sapienza is an impressive addition to the Hitman reboot's library. It's incredibly well designed, packed full of content and absolutely gorgeous. You'll be hard pressed to find a better Hitman level.
Even better than the terrific first episode, the Sapienza mission might be a series high point. While there are still some technical issues, and the lengthy load times hamper things in a game where reloading to give things another shot is such a big part of it, the overall experience has been incredible so far. I can't wait to see what comes next.

IO, please listen to your old fan. I love you. Hitmen was the first game of my childhood, and since then I have not missed a single game. This is my favorite series, and I bought the full game immediately, because I do not doubt your talent. I'm willing to forgive the download time, online, poor AI(partially), and hope that the episodic system invented just to hear that the fans like me. So, I'm delighted with the Sapienza, the scale and variety of simply dazzling. This is your best work.
So. This is stealth-action game. Action !! Sometimes you just want to go out and kill all)) And then I want to give my opinion on firearms in the game ...
Why all the special weapons in the game is disgusting cartoon colors (they are purple, for that you are killing me so?), Why they looks like a plastic toys, why so poorly animated, why "Soviet" soldiers on training is not with AK (is ISA have no AK?), and why agent 47 has such a weird stance while aiming the auto rifles? Аnd why the weapons handed down from level not added to the collection? Chek this out, please!
And yet, where's my awesome briefcase? You promised, I remember!

It deserves it's 9 points. The biggest map of the entire season. A lots of details and even more places to explore. It has everything you need in a fictional coastal town. 2 targets + a virus to destroy, many opportunities, only 2 unsilenced handguns (the two sound the same, as all silenced guns). As any other episode, no accents on any Italians in the town. It is the best episode of the 1st season.

An excellent second episode, with the larger and more diverse map allowing for some truly inspired hits.
This second chapter is even more enjoyable than the first one. The map is bigger and way more interesting to explore, and some refinements to the IA clearly improves the gameplay. The number of contracts created by the community is still impressive.
So far, Hitman has shown that it can produce on the grandest stage. The transition from the last generation to this generation has allowed Hitman to showcase that it can produce expansive environments as seen in Paris and stylish atmospherics like in Sapienza.
By offering a gigantic and gorgeous map full of life and secrets, the second installment of this new Hitman gives players exactly what they need: a great setting to experiment with a large amount of possibilities given to fulfill 47's contracts.
Hitman: Sapienza is a great episode marred by server issues. Not everyone is having them, but if you are, you can't progress or access community or live content.
This is the best level I've played of Hitman yet. The multi layered Sapienza is incredible showcasing the incredible design of the city.

So Episode 2 is a big step up from the Intro Pack!
The map i slightly bigger and feels more alive. Some bugs have been fixed while others remained and a few new ones popped up as well, but none of them are game breaking.
But i'm still annoyed about it being released in episodes. Sapienza takes about 2-3 hours to get lvl 20 mastery which is really not alot of gameplay for the price.
7/10 Too much water!

Buggy and slow menu, takes too long when I switch between tabs inside menu, can't use the same save files to play both in off-line and on-line mode. Requires constant internet connection even if I am playing single-player campaign. What a waste of money.

The piecemeal, episodic release format ruined this game for me. If they release titles like this in the future, I won't buy them. Go screw yourselves, Square Enix..

First of all, you have to ask why they are doing this sort of episodic release, when they plan to release a physical version down the line anyway. The real reason is that all of us are beta testers for the game until the final product is done. And beta test we did -- servers go down constantly, framerate hitches on PS4, audio mix is not good, animations are stiff, etc. This game is not fully cooked. Yet they have the audacity to put the game on sale for us to fix the game for them. That in itself deserves low stars.
The other egregious thing that this game requires a constant online connection, for you to keep XP Progress, complete challenges, and gain unlocks like the sniper, remote bomb, etc. The game as it is offline, is super gimped, and a shallow husk ****. For what purpose does this serve? To datamine player's activities? The only reasonable thing that requires online are the Contracts and Elusive Targets, but the single-player main campaign does not need this. This knocks this game down to 1 star automatically.
Players and fans of HITMAN alike have protested this and they have not heard or made any changes to accommodate. So if that is the case, then I do not recommend this game to you my friend. Pass on it and don't allow developers and publishers to set a precedent for always-online Internet connection.
