Just completed 100% of the story and I am unimpressed overall.

Here is what I was impressed by:
- The visuals.
- The story.
- TAA (temporal anti-aliasing was not forced).

Here is what I was not impressed by:
- A known bug in ultra-wide screens still existing in story mode which adds black bars.
- Encoded black bars in the cutscenes, wasting bitrate and further adding black bars to ultra-wide screens.
- Multiplayer is COMPLETELY dead.
- Story is short.
- Selling a full-price DLC character that is free if you beat the short story campaign.

Overall:
- DO NOT buy this if you want to play multiplayer, no one is playing.
- DO NOT buy the ultimate edition, no one is playing.
- DO NOT buy the game at full price, no one is playing.
- DO buy the game at discount if you want a pretty good Batman/Superman story (play the first game first).
- DO NOT buy the game if you hate black bars and own an ultrawide, this issue was reported as early as release and still hasn't been addressed.

Literally the best borderless fullscreen tool I've ever used. I just wish I didn't need to use Simplode Suite to use it.

Was forced to install third-party software just to play the game at my resolution due to it adding black bars to displays that are above 16:9.

The game is fun, but technical issues need to be pointed out.

Did they not play test this? On the very first mission, if you take longer than 20 minutes, your target will just go behind the catwalk stage and never move again.
This literally soft-locks you from getting a silent assassin rating. Also, why does he have a generic scared NPC voice when he is frightened or spots you? It's so jarring after hearing his actual voice.

I waited years for this.

I love this game, and was willing to ignore this problem since the release of Hitman 2.

It is now Hitman 3 and a whole new rebrand (WoA), now, as someone who is incredibly sensitive to visual defects, I cannot in good conscious recommend a game from a company who has refused to add the ability to disable TAA (temporal anti-aliasing).

This has been a problem for me (and I assume for many others) since Hitman 2, especially for users with high resolution displays.
I find it incredibly wrong to force your players who may have lower end systems or high resolutions to use TAA that doesn't even properly get rid of the stair-case effect. Meaning all you get are lower fidelity textures and ghosting you can screenshot. The worst part of it all is that increasing the resolution scale (which can act as a decent anti-aliasing alternative) doesn't disable TAA either.

> Increasing resolution scaling doesn't disable it (even though it acts as an anti-aliasing technique)
> Increasing resolution doesn't disable it
> Disabling it in the registry files doesn't disable it
> NOTHING disables it

If they address this problem, I can recommend it. But as I see it, they seem to just not care to add the option to disable this technological cancer.

None of this was ever a problem in Hitman 2016... not to mention how well 2016 ran on my GTX 1050Ti. Good luck doing that past Hitman 2 (despite the graphical downgrades starting from there).

The game is overrated... it's just a good meme. The OST is awesome (but short), but I cannot look past how awful the voice acting is and especially the camera controls. I found even on hardest difficulty with no prior experience ever; the game was still too easy. I had the Sam battle hyped up so much only for it to be the easiest boss battle in the game. "Good luck with Sam, dude.", "Trust me, you won't be saying it's easy once you get to Sam!" and "Sam is gonna floor you." is what I was being told and I beat him first try.., like with most of the boss battles in the game.

The most damning problem with this game aside from the false 98% positive on Steam is how they charge $43 (AUD) for a <13 hour game. I take my sweet time with games and still finished it in such a short time. Unreal.

Bro.., what a disappointment. Clunky, unpolished mess with graphics worse than what was capable back then.

EDIT: Minor spelling mistake.

The game made me good at quick timed events and I accidentally killed Hank.

If you ignore the blatant ignorance of real life police you have a half-decent game. The people who made this game clearly do not know the law; so I hope that they were going for normie game-play and not logic. This game is fun mostly with friends.

If you know how police usually operate and the actions they take and actively are seeking it out then don't play this. It is a bit silly that shooting someone with a gun/knife can charge towards you and if you shoot them you will get penalised by the game while hitting complying civilians for no good reason other than enacting their rights is allowed.

The only things I dislike about this game is the undisablable 60FPS cap and poor ultrawide support (too many black bars).

The biggest issue I have about this remaster is that they used the Xbox/PS3 version of the build (like why??) which had lower resolution textures; thankfully there is a mod patch for this but it is an additional 12GB I should not have had to download.

This game is very fun.

Very fun with friends.
