Note - I have played this game throughout two platforms and have more than 80 hrs combined through those platforms.

I absolutely love the game the game is amazing and has much to do compared to other Hitman games made and there's challenges after challenges throughout the game itself. Even if each mission is sometimes short. There's multiple endings in regards to the game itself and different ways to play the game. That is why I love the game. Now here's my many issues with the game itself. The AI in human interaction is sometimes off-putting and strange and sometimes buggy at times. I won't go into detail due to spoiling the game. -- I do not spoil the game for no one. -- For me it's an issue but not sometimes that turns me off about the game itself. The game allows so much freedom and gives replayability. Now I do not understand why the devs have to make it so complicated to buy the game and why they can't offer a single or double game mode to buy. There's 4 modes that you can buy -- well actually 3. There's a free-mode that only offers the training mode in the game. I don't understand why the game can't have two expansions to buy. Include all the base game and then do the deluxe with the extra locations and suits and other stuff you can buy. --- You know what other devs do. That is my biggest gripe with the game is the very confusing aspects of which edition is right to buy.

Now the main reason why I do not recommend the game and frankly after reading so many reviews at first I didn't agree but after playing the game on PC. I have to say it pisses me off so much that devs do this after being heavily criticized for it and with the release of HITMAN World of Assassination - you would think the devs would remove this requirement. The always online is the stupidest thing ever to have for a single-player game. The game doesn't have any online features that need it when playing the game in regards to the mission itself!!! -- I have good internet and the fact the game sometimes disconnects itself from the game server is annoying and ruins the experience of the game. It's not a constant thing but it does happen. That is why I can't recommend the game to anyone. Now if you like Hitman like I do then get it but be prepared cause the game sometimes disconnects itself. Shame on the devs for now allowing game to require an always online connection for a SINGLE PLAYER GAME!!! -- Never had that issue on PlayStation or Xbox but some reason on PC it's an issue.

My final thoughts -- Great game, Love it with all my heart but the always online requirement and dealing with disconnections from the server is a huge deal breaker and hopefully their next game they do not have an always online requirement.
