Un beau voyage dans le temps, version stable et bien travaillée.

Le successeur de Swat 4, ce n'est pas terminé, mais en bonne voix

Un grand bac à sable d'infiltration, un des meilleur de la licence.

Un jeu mal optimisé, un contenu absolument rachitique et un gameplay au ras des paquerettes pour la modique somme de 60€, on est loin, trés loin du rêve que Sean Murrait nous avait vendu en interview et en vidéos...

Mais c'est apparement devenu la mode chez les developpeurs de mentir de façon éhontée sur le contenu du produit que l'on essaye de vendre...

Woaw, this game is back to the roots of the license, and it feel sweet after the disapointing Hitman : absolution (you know the corridor one).
So far we only have 2 tutorials mission who are very... boring? And the Sanguine show (level in Paris), and damn this level is good...
You have all you want to see in a hitman game (at least from a hitman hardcore fan perspective):

• The map is huge, like huge huge, bigger than bloodmoney or Silent Assassin and it's very detailed. All the room has his purpose, very well designed.
  
  
• Lot, lot and lot of ways to kill your targets.
  
  
• The general mood of the "sanguine show" is tremendously good. it's the classy/rich yet disgusting vibe of the high society we like to see when you are in the 47 suit and your job is killing people.
  
  
• Game Mechanics are very classical, but effective.
  
  But, and there is a but :
  
  
• You need to be online to play the game, and it's a very big letdown, who wants that kind of thing? if it's a DRM thing, it's not preventing anything, and it bother legal user more than anything.
  
  
• IA is ok, sometimes guard doing some weird things but it's ok....
  
  
• The Episodic thing, come on square enix, we know it's your decision since you editing the game, but come on, this kind of model works on heavily narrated game like Life Is Strange, but it's not the case with hitman, and it really grinds my gear and thousand of other consumers.

(Some users seems experiencing some performance issues, it's not my case i have a i7 3770K / 16 go ram / and a gtx 970go and it's smooth, sure i can't supersampling and my shadow quality is set on medium, but all the rest is maxed out and i'm at avg 74 fps.)

In conclusion, i think we have a very good game and a very good Hitman here. If you like the license or if you are a fan but hesitate to buy the game, you can go peacefully, at least pay the prologue to see how it's good. Sure the game from what we saw has some defaults, but it's still a very good Hitman! =)

Hope my review is helpfull, have a great game, or not. ;)
