How it feels

A methodical and tense stealth experience where each assassination is a carefully planned puzzle set in atmospheric environments.

What players say

Players warn that the controls are dated, the AI is erratic, and missions require restarting from scratch because there is no mid-mission save. The game offers almost no freedom, with only one intended solution per level, and many players say it is better to skip straight to Hitman 2 or Contracts, which remakes its best missions.
