Ranton didn’t like it. Maybe we’ll be getting a review from him again? Hitman 2016 was one of his favourite games ever made and he loved 2.
who?
He’s pretty popular, he’s a Shaolin Warrior Monk turned game reviewer.
1000% agree. This is going to keep me going for a long time, fantastic peice of work
You’re review is exactly how I felt as well. Fantastic game and it will be a treasure in my Hitman collection.
Can’t wait to see what’s next for 47…even though that’s many years away.
Charlie liked it, giving it an 80% on the moist meter. So about an 8/10, with the only criticisms he had being that it adds nothing new to the formula.
I feel as though the reason why Charlie “feels slimy about his review” is because we’re always desperate for to come back to play Hitman. He says nothing is added to the formula, and yet he gave it a high review. Hitman is a unique game that’s nothing like most shooters/action games, so we always want to come back to the game and replay them.
Hitman is systematically designed to replay Hitman, so Hitman gets high reviews despite its bland formula.
I think half the problem is that IO just hit it out of the park in H2016. They created a game that felt completely unique and so great. After that initial amazing innovation it’s quite a lot for us to ask them to innovate more on it
I’m not saying they couldn’t have made more substantial changes over the past 5 years (I think briefcases are probably the biggest one they’ve done). But WoA is anything but formulaic in terms of other games out there
Thought this a pretty fair and fun review. They didn’t do what I’ve seen a lot of people do, not understand the game and blame the game. They understood they didn’t fully get the game and laughed at all the little weird quirks
Plus the had some decent jokes in there
I generally like their review videos, but this one was boring. It seems they were not at all excited about the game and that shows.
It’s a little quirky.

And he called Dartmoor “The Knives Out mission” 🤦
Are you just going out of your way to watch every single review now, Generic?
I literally am tbh, like I said I love watching Hitman content even if it’s bad. People just don’t know how to critique Hitman. I saw another one by this RTG guy or whatever’s who was complaining about the game seeming “old school” and then I saw a video by him called “five switch games whichever will DECIMATE your wallet”. And it was all Wii U ports of like Mario and other literally old school shit. I’d like if these mixed reviews actually made sense. I’m lukewarm on Hitman 3 myself, I think the game is too buggy and the marketing is manipulative and the levels aren’t good as 2’s except for Dubai, Mendoza and Berlin which are 10/10 masterpieces. But people can’t critique Hitman for shit.
@Generickillz)Did you see that one comment on the 2nd review?
No I didn’t @William1066. What was it?
Oh that one. Yeah that bothered me because I found it stupid and arrogant. If you think Hitman 3’s subpar that’s on you, but being the highest rated game in the franchise and being less scripted and more fun and more replayable than half the shite that comes out nowadays is not subpar. Really what’s worth 60$? I’d say most indie games like Hades and Minecraft are worth that much but something like Death Stranding, Assassin’s Creed, Last of Us or Red Dead Redemption II isn’t. Yet the latter is usually considered “worth it” because it’s a long walking sim that takes 20 hours to beat because it has hour long cutscenes. Just more cases of hacking gamerinos loving bland dogshit just so long as it’s “immersive” and long rather than actually being fun.
Why should Hitman 3 charge less because it’s similar to the previous two? It’s the same amount of content. The le epic reddit gamers buy Mario 3D All Stars full price and that’s literally the exact same game they bought twenty years ago that hasn’t aged well.
OH MY GOD I checked the guy’s channel that reviewed Hitman 3 and he gave Cyberpunk a 7.5 out of 10. Opinion not only discarded but incinerated. You can stop taking the review or that comment seriously when they consider that worth 60$ but Hitman 3 isn’t.
It’s a tough sell for a game to be built on replayability, I know it’s not for everyone, but at least try to play it multiple times would be my advice to this guy. I know for a fact he definitely didn’t play it more than once, and his idea of “finding everything” would be ticking off all the points on the map and not actually engaging with the multitudes of content.
I don’t think Hitman is sustainable in this formula past three games, it needs to reinvent itself like with 2016 and go for a different style of more levels and an overall longer game but still keeping that sandbox. So this could mean no more escalations and other stuff the levels need to be built to accommodate in the new style. So I agree that Hitman could be better when it comes to length. I’d love longer development times if it meant more levels by the time the game comes out. But I’m still annoyed by these kinds of reviews.
Keep in mind I think the new series is the peak of sandboxing, so I really am being as fair as possible to other views when I say it needs a break or to innovate for the next title in like 5 years.
