Wow!!! This game looks beautiful and really awesome! I see that the developers also brought back the roots of Hitman: Blood Money with the map system. But they also brought back the Instinct mode from Hitman: Absolution. I'm also really glad that they brought back manual saves so you can save where ever you want to save at. Thank god they did that because save checkpoints were a real royal pain in the butt! Now let's get to the review(ish) part of my review.......

Pros:
+ Beautiful Graphics
+ Manual Saving is back
+ Huge Sandbox World Maps (Just from playing the Showstopper mission in Paris)
+ More variety of weapons/gadgets/items
+ A lot more NPC's to make the environment more lively and surreal
+ Lots of ways to eliminate your targets (stealthly, aggressively, or accidentally)

Neutrals:
~ The game is episodic (Not that big of a deal. I'm glad that IO Interactive is bringing in a new idea but I'm still kind of weirded out by that idea but I'll get use to it.)

Cons:
- The performance/optimization needs a little more improvement

I'm not trying to bash this game due to it being episodic or its performance problems. All I'm trying to say is this game is amazing, beautiful, awesome, gorgeous, badass, lively, and extremely surreal. So all in all, this game is pretty damn awesome! I highy recommend this game! :D

Update #1: After playing Sapienza and Marrakesh, I'm honestly thrilled and excited to see what the Thailand, USA, and Japan map would look like! I also love Contracts Mode, Esculation Cotract Mode, and the Elusive Target Contracts Mode (Even though the Elusive Targets are super challenging to do but it was fun to play it, even though I missed most of them except the most recent one which is 'The Sensation'). Great job on the level designs IO Interactive, you're definitely bringing back the feels of Hitman: Blood Money... :D

Update #2: After playing the Bangkok map, I honestly have to say it's the most beautiful map I've witnessed so far. That Bangkok map has definitely won my heart over it's beautiful environment land and water. I can't wait to see what the USA map and the Japan map will look like! Keep up the good work IO Interactive! :D

Update #3: IO-Interactive has been doing a phenomenal job with the completion of Season 1 of HITMAN and exclusive DLC! I can't wait for Season 2 of HITMAN and they're reactivating the Elusive Targets that you might have missed which is a bonus as well! :D
