Hitman: The Complete First Season - Steelbook Edition - Xbox One

I'll just break down the pros and cons of this game since that's easy to understand. Pros: -Very challenging stealth gameplay -Fantastic level design with huge open areas -Mission variety when it comes to taking down targets is huge -Customization options are also varied and interesting -The story is good Cons: -Do not play this game with the frame rate set to [unlocked], lock the game to 30fps or it will run terribly. -The story ends on an obvious please play Season 2 to find out more cliffhanger. -The disk is basically just used as a way to download all of the episodes from the store online so you will have to wait to play, download the game and the first episode before anything else you can play that while you wait on the rest. -The bonus "Illusive Targets" are time sensitive so there are a lot of things in the game new players won't be able to do as far are more targets go. -The game can be played offline but you will not progress properly so basically the game is online only even though it's single player. Overall the game itself is a lot of fun, tons of content and replay ability. The physical steel book case is really nice as well, and the game doesn't take too long to download as long as you have decent internet. If you're a fan of the older Hitman games you'll love this no doubt.

This is not the game I thought it would be. You play the mission in same scene until you complete various different kill variant choices! For you to move on to the next mission you have to purchase the mission and you need to wait a designated time before you can buy it! I can't believe they did this after waiting over a year for this game! I don't want to Rate this game really bad because the actual graphics and gameplay are good. But it is the worst game yet to date out of both platforms, PS4/ Xbox one! This my opinion! Remind you i own 398 games and 4 game platforms. I had Hitman on the Xbox 360 platform and sold it and should have never did so it blew this new Hitman game away. As to creeping around and selecting targets and weapons and moving from one location to another was what I was expecting with just a whole lot more ghrapics and details (NOT)! Sad Sad!!! I've never been disappointed in a game yet because I've always checked reviews beforepurchasing which I did and there was no inclinition of the need of in game mission purchasing!! ( bad business practice!)

I haven't followed the Hitman series so I can't compare this game to those, but I know the premise of gameplay and picked this up on sale to try something different amid my normal RPG and FPS games. This game was fun! The missions offer a large array of flexibility and creativity. If you're an achievement hunter, then there's a lot of replay value as they task you with using certain techniques of which by using one, you can't use the other. But since missions can be fast, it isn't overwhelming or feel like farming. I'm also a fan of finding solid solo games, as everything seems to be always online with strangers who don't communicate or have their own agenda (no teamwork). Def a fun pick up.

"The Complete First Season" means it comes with all the episodes that were released. So, all the missions and challenges are available in this edition after you download them with the codes provided. Realistic graphics and sound. Tons of missions and challenges. Online community. Well-organized game. Easy controls and user intuitive. Real-life weapons. This actual item is the "Steelbook Edition" meaning that it has a more sturdier (but not really steel) plastic case that is meant to look like steel. This game is 5 STARS.

When I heard Square-Enix and IO Interactive were releasing an "episodic style" Hitman game (a la Telltale Games), I didn't know how to react. Having played the first episode (Paris), this changed my mind. This game is a return to roots for the series. Large massive maps, numerous ways to execute the targets. My main gripe is that the first-season content seems light in comparison to previous Hitman games, like Absolution and Blood Money. With all that aside, and how that IO Interactive was able to wrestle the Hitman IP back from the publishers, I'm incredibly excited to see the direction the team takes future Hitman games going forward.

I've logged many hours into this game, it's beautifully crafted. Wish it was longer but it's broken up into "seasons" as lots of games are doing now. It has tons of replay value, for me at least. Looking forward to season 2. The graphics are top notch for next gen consoles, and the levels are great in size. I feel like it is a great purchase for fans of the original series, just straight forward assassinations peppered with mysterious backstory in between levels. Fun!

Never was a huge fan of the Hitman series, but this one had a great visual aesthetic and a large variety of gameplay challenges so I decided to give it a try. Overall, the game plays much better as a complete collection then each individual episode as it was originally released, and I really enjoyed my time with it. There are a huge variety of different ways to approach the same scenario, and many of them led to me having some good laughs.

It took all of 8 hours to play all of the story mode missions. I like to have a deep story to guide you along the way in an open world type game. This is not it. 6 basic missions and then several ways to do the same missions over and over is not my idea of a great game. There is a lot of online content, but I haven't explored that as I was very bummed when the story ended so quickly. Glad it was a Deal of the Day buy.
