There’s some variety in puzzles and the gradual way of teaching you works well, but the repetitive loop is something that some will get bored of quickly. I found myself burning out at first because I was trying to complete as much as possible, partly because some of the boards earlier in a stage are a bit basic. The game was designed for handheld and, because of that, was designed for short bursts of fun. Where it begins to come unstuck however is if you spend too long with it in one sitting. It’s good to see that Hitman GO: Definitive Edition sticks the landing. This is a difficult task to achieve and a lot of games fail with that transition. It also removes the micro-transactions from the game without losing anything. Its sprucing up for PlayStation devices bundled up with all of its DLC into one handy collection.
#HITMAN GO REVIEW PS4 PORTABLE#
It’s something that sounds like it shouldn’t work, but the way the game was received on portable devices when it released in 2014 proves that it does. Sometimes that can be as simple as reaching the end marker on the level, other times you’ll have to assassinate a target. Pieces have their certain ways of moving and it’s up to you to spot the pattern and complete the level. It takes Agent 47, makes him into a cute board game figure and has you progress through a bunch of intriguing levels. It’s funny you should say that, because that’s what Hitman GO kind of does. What more is there for everyone’s favourite bald man with a barcode on his head to do? He should just retire and take it easy right? Maybe play some board games? He’s been around the world, seen it all and killed them all.
Agent 47 is the master of disguise, the king of the sleight of hand and the prince of improvisation. The Hitman series is one of the most beloved stealth game franchises around.
