Rarely, do developers ever continue to tack on all the playable missions and challenges from the previous games over to the new ones. We saw it happen with Hitman 2 when it received all Hitman 1 content including the Legacy Packs playable on Hitman 2's updated engine. Well, not only do PS5 players benefit from the Hitman 1 & 2 content plus bonus missions from those game being carried over to Hitman 3, but they have also been rebuilt using PS5's engine. Meaning, the load times are non-existent and the areas never looked or played better. That is not even to mention the new locations Hitman 3 offers. Some unique and epic maps are introduced with Hitman 3, the standouts being the Carlisle Mansion, which will have 47 play the role of Sherlock Holmes as he tries to uncover a conspirator who committed murder within their own family. It is a blast and a fresh breath of air from the usual Hitman shenanigans. But even topping this one is the new Berlin map, which is INSANELY fun to play. It also throws a curveball in the mix by having Agent 47 being tracked and hunted by over 8 assassins from ICA who will all hunt 47 throughout a night club in Berlin, and the atmosphere is oozing with personality and the possibilities are near limitless as the assassins contact each other via headphones and keep track of each other as 47 takes them out. There is much more here to excite any fans of the first 2 games, and with frequent updates which sometimes add new weapons and challenges to unlock, Hitman 3 is the game that keeps giving. It is a shame to see it come to a hiatus, there will be more in the future but as of now this is the last of the planned 3 game trilogy. Epic in all the right ways!!!
