This game quickly became one of my favourite play your way games.

Graphically, the game looks really good with high quality textures and character models. The animations are also done well, although they look a bit stiff at times. The game is also not perfectly optimized. I have an Intel 7500 and a GTX 1060 and for me the FPS drops below 60 in certain levels, but it is above 60 in others. Sound effects are also quite crunchy and the soundtrack hits the spot perfectly.

The story is told through high quality cutscenes, that are displayed in between levels. Although the story and voice acting is great, the ending is a cliffhanger and it feels like it was made only as an addition to the gameplay.

The gameplay is quite similar to Deus Ex and Dishonored series, although it's a bit more casual. The main attraction of the game are the ways in which you are able to assassinate your targets, ranging from drowning them to killing them with a sniper rifle. All 6 main levels are designed for that and they are your playground in a way. You are given multiple targets in each level and there are countless ways to eliminate them. Exploring and replaying the level enables you to find opportunities, that help you in completing your objective in various ways. What makes this game a bit more casual compared to other play your way games, like Deus Ex and DIshonored, are disguises. You can disguise yourself in different clothes and uniforms and are able to reach your targets without alerting the guards. After you complete each level, you level it up you unlock weapon pick-ups, spawn zones and disguises. That is also why replayability of the levels is highly encouraged. All of these game mechanics compliment each other and work perfectly, although the enemy AI can be quite stupid at times.

Because of that I would easily recommend this game for every Hitman fan and also for Dishonored and Deus Ex fans, as this game is one of the best play your way types of games. Although you can get the full game for 60 €, it goes on sale for under 10 euros, dollars or pounds in a lot of places.
I'm giving this game a 8/10.
