I hate buying from Ubisoft like most sensible people, but wow was I impressed.

The Pros:
• AI listens to you most of the time
  
• Great stealth, very fun to plan strategies
  
• Huge variety of guns, easily changeable for any occasion
  
• Don't have to stealth if you get fed up
  
• Shooting feels generally realistic
  
• Great story and background info on enemies
  
• Loved the case files/videos made it seem real
  
• Story long compared to most games
  
• Huge map tons to explore
  
• Satisfying to 100% everything
  
• Great soundtrack
  
• Realistic gun damage
  
• Able to solo everything
  
• Some very helpful upgrades
  
• Main characters are relentlessly American
  
• Great/hilarious American stereotypes
  
• Nice Character customization
  
• Tons of hours to still be put in
  
• Play style/completion is however you want it to be
  
• Difficulty settings actually get more difficult
  
• Motivated to complete/take down the cartel
  
• Mentions the Bilderberg group (Its brief but cool)

The Cons:
• Enemies respawn at bases you have already wiped out/may have to redo
  
• Helicopter have crazy sight/spotting capabilities (Seriously nerf these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ things)
  There were countless times where I was flawlessly stealthing a huge base (Santa Blanca base)
  and a Unidad helicopter would fly over spot me and a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ war would break out because AI would start shooting at helicopter, no matter where I was hiding they would always see me
  
• Flashbangs/Drone Medic (and other Drone types)/A lot of upgrades felt very useless (Maybe it was my play-style)
  
• Enemies in cars can see you like helicopters
  
• Some unrealistic base areas | For example: Sub base in the middle of swamp/marsh wetland

EDIT: As for the performance/framerate/loading issues. I didn't experience any of that. Although I have a i7 4790k and a GTX 1080. Got over 100fps most times I was playing. So sorry to those who cant run, but it worked great for me.

Well done Ubisoft, you didn't completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ butcher it like most things you touch.

Great game, extremely beautiful and all. Works fine not really any bugs, However there are two issues that warrant a negative review

1. Its an "Early Access Game" the problem with this and all other "Early Access Games" on Steam is that they NEVER come out of "Early Access" they are often just abandoned by their creators/developers. This game has been in early access since it came out and I'm really looking forward to it being a full game. The only problem is, it's been 2 almost 3 years since its been in this, most likely, forever lasting "Early Access" stage.

2. Fall and other types of damage are extremely unrealistic. For example: jumping off a 2-4 ledge gets your ankle and wrists sprained. I get why, but it's still ridiculous.

Do NOT let the most helpful reviews throw you off buying this. Many complain of Online DRM, which I agree is terrible but I yet to have a problem with it. Those with an unreliable internet be warry of buying this but to those that have a steady connection I highly recommend.

This Hitman in my eyes imporved many aspects of previous Hitman titles. The Story is involving and interesting making me constantly want to uncover more and more, until I got to the end. I really wish there was more to this game, but there is a HIGH replay value of this game and getting this game on sale is crucial.

The combat is great, feels very solid along with the movement. Again the story is very interesting and not much to any prior knowledge is needed. The shooting feels very smooth and easy to aim.

The only downsides to this game are that, its not long enough (Which the Challenges and Opportunities make up for) and the Online DRM which isnt even a problem to me or other people that I know that play this. Lastly its the AAA price tag they put on which is to be expected. It doesnt feel like a $60 game but while on sale half off its definitely worth it.

This is a great title to get while you can on sale. So if you have the money and enjoy stealth/other Hitman titles I highly recommend you get this game now.
