Does this game have endless replayability?

Or is it replayable just for some time and when you finish every single level like more than 5 times it loses the replay value?

The replay value is the main selling point of the game, it's where the meat of the gameplay is.

The game has over 1000 challenges across all maps to unlock, all of which require playing the level in different ways and doing different things, and then on top of that there are ways to complete the mission and things to do that aren't a part of any challenges.

To complete the game once would take about 2 hours, but the game easily has at least 200 hours worth of content from the main missions alone.
Then of course you have the many escalations on each map, Contracts Mode which are community made missions for near unlimited content, plenty of which are really fun to play and are interesting to complete, and Ghost Mode which is PVP competitive.

Depends on the person really. I have several people on my friends list who played like 10 hours and that was enough for them, probably one or two times through each mission. Other people put 500 hours into the game and get every challenge, escalation and elusive target at the highest rating. It really depends on how much you like the game and enjoy replaying it.

I would guess most people find a middle-ground of doing all the mission stories and maybe getting mission mastery, but not doing EVERYTHING. Even that will take you a long time though, at least like 40 hours unless you use walkthroughs and the in-game hint system, which you should NOT because finding methods to do things is half the game.

Looks like people are never bored of replaying it even after hundreds of hours!

No game has infinite replayability. But this one's is really high!

I think one of the most interesting aspects of HITMAN is the huge difference there is between your first run and then, a few attempts later.

At first, you are taking in the missions's atmosphere, completing the different opportunities. Everything has been carefully crafted. But then when you have to complete Suit Only for exemple, you have to think outside the box. It become this kind of dance where you know where everything, who is going to do what and when...

Yeah, that's definitely how I play. One very long exploration first go and then a bunch of very different feeling attempts to get the challenges. Some people won't be into that later part though, everyone's different.

I'm not into master mode because of the limited saves, which bums me out since I'd love to 100% the game. We're all into different things though.

As has been said, the game is meant to be played by different routes. You'l find some opportunity is totally different from the first playthrough.
The game highly encourages having all challenges unlocked, which is where you'll see many opportunities you've missed at first.

So, no endless replayability, but surely a LOT !

I think the levels are largely better with default gear and starting location, honestly. Cheating to get the unlocks first really seems like it's hurting your experience, from my perspective. Play the game however you want though of course.

I'm still working on the last few challenges I haven't done yet, and just playing a map for fun is still very entertaining.

I did a Kill Everyone run on every map a couple of times already.

The only thing that could let the game be more fun if there was a "cheat"-code or a special suit or something that gives you unlimited use of your items, but the score wouldn't count towards your level or whatever.

Imagine the fun with unlimited shuriken, unlimited ammo for the tranquilizer gun or the sniper rifles, or the neverending poison syringe.

I saw some people having thousands of hours in this game and at the moment I saw those hours, they were playing Hitman 2!

[Killerwhale]

Yeah the game is pretty replayable
