In HITMAN World of Assassination it is impossible to complete the campaign story

[Johnny Cage]

I bought HITMAN World of Assassination and wanted to at least complete the campaign mode. But only one mission is available in this mode. The game says that all the others need to be unlocked. The game says that you need to buy the HITMAN World of Assassination Episode Upgrade Pack add-on. I click Go to Steam store under the inscription and nothing happens. I went to Steam to find this content. But I didn’t find anything among the downloadable content of the game. Then I clicked HITMAN World of Assassination Episode: Sapienza on the page of this game and thought that I would now get the necessary missions. When I try to buy HITMAN World of Assassination Episode: Sapienza, Steam says that this is the same game HITMAN World of Assassination and therefore I can’t buy it. When I click on the picture in the basket, I am indeed transferred to HITMAN World of Assassination. It turns out that I bought an incomplete version of this game (like a demo)? How can I make all the missions available or at least the campaign?

Of course, HITMAN World of Assassination Episode: Sapienza doesn't have the content of the full game. Did you really think that you get everything for 99 cents, while the other editions are even more expensive? :D

Read the description or look at the images on the site. The very first image even tells you that, apart from the detailed description.
The game will also tell you exactly what's going on.

Fix: Buy one of the more expensive editions.

That's what I was asking: how to buy at least the missions of the main campaign? What edition or content is this?

IF you own the Sapienza Edition, you need to buy this this at a minimum. This will give you all the levels except New York and Haven Island. To get those two maps you need this.

@DessIntress your rudeness is totally unnecessary. Go to the reviews; nearly every review, even the positive ones, complains about how confusing the pricing structure is. There's clearly a problem here. Since you're smarter than everyone here, could you please break it down for us and explain what the different editions include?

I don't own any of this franchise, and I want to buy all of it as well as all DLC (excluding cosmetic fluff or soundtracks) at once. Which one do I buy?

That depends a little on your definition of "cosmetic fluff or soundtracks". I will break it down for you as best I can.

• Right now, because of the sale, the cheapest way to acquire the base game is Sapienza Edition + Upgrade (linked above in my previous post) + H2 Expansion Pack (also linked above). This gives you the base game with all the story missions and can be considered the "core" experience of the game for ~$38 ($1 + $27 + $10).
  
• The Deluxe Edition of the game is also on sale for $45. This contains the above, plus two other DLCs contained in the Deluxe Pack Bundle. One of which is Hitman 3 Deluxe Pack which is very much "cosmetic garbage and soundtracks". The other is the Seven Deadly Sins Collection which is a series of seven heavily rethemed versions of levels with highly experimental gameplay changes. It is absolutely not necessary, and a lot of it isn't even "good", but it is "interesting" and I would cautiously recommend it for people who really want to see everything the game has to offer. Note that each of the DLCs in the Deluxe Pack Bundle can be bought separately for $10. So, if you just want base game + H2 Expansion + Seven Deadly Sins then you're better off just buying the Deluxe Edition for $45.
  
• Regardless of what you choose above, there is yet more DLC:
  - The three celebrity elusive targets can be played for free on rare occasions, but if you buy the $5 DLC for each one you can play it anytime you want and get some cosmetic items. There is also a celebrity bundle containing all three for a discount.
  - The Sarajevo Six campaign was a very very short Playstation Exclusive for Hitman 1. It's a single target in each of the Hitman 1 locations. There's really not much to this. Only two (the Mercenary - in Colorado, and the Controller - Hokkaido) have a unique gimmick and neither is well liked. Calling the S6 "content" is stretching the definition REALLY hard. The whole thing might take ten minutes to finish and has less going on that a typical freelancer mission.
  - The Trinity Pack, Street Art Pack, and Makeshift Pack are all purely cosmetic

[Johnny Cage]

I bought a DLC with all campaign levels. But now I don't know how to play it!? The DLC is displayed in the settings. But the game doesn't want to update. I cleared the download cache, checked the integrity of the game files - nothing helped. All campaign levels are still unavailable.

I'm not the brightest knife in the crayon box, so please excuse my possibly stupid question.

I just bought the Part One for $8.99 USD, which one of those would I buy to get the rest of the campaign content? The first linked pack contains all the Hitman I stuff, and I assume there is a better option for upgrading from Part One?

*Edit*
I was going to buy the World of Assassination Deluxe Pack for $29.97, but now I'm unsure if that would give me the campaign content for II and III as well.

HITMAN: WoA will get you everyting but two levels - NYC and Bahamas (originally DLC for Hitman 2). Deluxe Edition will get you all of the above plus extra goodies. Deluxe Edition is the most complete edition.

Refund Part One if possible. It only contains content from Hitman 2016 GOTY.

:D
I and a few others have explained this here a thousand times, politely and in detail. And it seems you apparently didn't make it to the second paragraph. No reason to repeat things that have already been explained in detail.
But please continue to prove why humanity will depend on AI in the future.

I think I figured it out.

The upgrade for Part One is here.
Part One + Part One Upgrade = Standard Edition
Sapienza Edition + Episode Upgrade = Standard Edition
The difference is going Part One + Part One Upgrade is about $0.20 more expensive, but the outcome is exactly the same. If you've already purchased Part One, then your cheapest option from here is to get the Part One Upgrade and then buy the H2 Expansion pack separately. You have no need to buy the Deluxe Pack Bundle. It's not even discounted, so just completely ignore it.

it literally says episode sapienza and that is it
