However, because IO has designed these levels with the player in mind, certain elements of this clockwork machinery won’t trigger until 47 shows up on the scene. Think of each Hitman location as set dressing for a stage play, with each character playing their part in the same way every time.
Hitman games take that and blow it out to the nth degree. In most video games in which enemies patrol a location, they repeat the same behaviors over and over, such as endlessly tracing the same path. In this beginner’s guide, we’ll cover the basics of how to play Hitman: how to avoid getting overwhelmed, the best weapons and gear, and what’s new in Hitman 3.
If that’s the case for you - and even if you do have some familiarity with Agent 47’s assassination adventures - we’ve got some tips on how to get started. Hitman 3 is the third and final game in IO Interactive’s World of Assassination trilogy, but it’s also just as good of an entry point as Hitman (2016) and Hitman 2, if you missed those games.
