Before buying ANYTHING related to Hitman World of Assassination read guidelines online. If you buy Hitman World of Assassination Part One you will NOT get Hitman 3 maps even though it states that Hitman 3 is included. What is inluded, is HITMAN (2016) maps transferred to Hitman 3 engine, not Hitman 3 content itself.

TL;DR: I recommend the game, but after reading through buying guidelines.

From my point of view, story was ok - didn't make me seat on the edge waiting for 'what's going to happen next', it was an excuse to start another mission and solving the 'SA/SO' puzzle.

It's not the most realistic graphic on the market, it's a bit simplified for readability, which I enjoy. Game looks clean and 'just' pretty for me. And thanks to the 'simplification', runs great on Ultra settings.
Environment sounds are done really well, they bring good layer of immersion. Unless you run whole time with instinct on, then you will not hear anything.

Here's my main issue with the game - controls test your patience. Game works on some 'locking' mechanism and will not start another action until one is finished, which may lead to frustration - for example, you throw hammer at someone's head, press Space to get out of cover, but since the throwing animation (more specifically, animation of 47 going back into cover) didn't finish, 47 doesn't unglue himself from cover. So you press Space again, which leads to 47 going out of cover and back into it again. You must be patient and learn timings of actions in this game, then it will be smooth.

Overall I can recommend the game (I did enjoy it enough to spend almost 130h in it at the time of writing and will spend more), but you must take into account wacky controls and buying mechanism, which a lot of people in community will call scam.

This is a review after first run of the game (~30h, somewhere between 30 and 40% of that time was spent on messing around on different planets just walking around and scanning them, not much time was spent on minor quests). Update to review after NG+ run has been done.

Main story is very similiar in terms of "epicness" to Fallout 4's main story - it gives you some goal towards which you are working, but it's not epic. Sure, it takes you on tour through space, but calling it epic because you fly from one end of space to another is overstatement.
Story itself is a bit confusing at the beginnig, but after you finish some quests and meet Emissary and Hunter you'll understand what's going on and towards what exactly you're working. My biggest issue is with ending - I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn't that. You either finish final quest and immediately start a so-called New Game + in an endless loop or you go back to your ship to explore space with an option of finishing the game any time you want. Whole mechanic makes sense, just not something I was expecting.

I can't really say much about side quests - most of those that I did were some simple "go to X, acquire Y, come back" for VERY minor NPCs, so no opinion here.
Side quest for main factions are solid, but they have little to no impact on gameplay. For example, if you decide that the best way to deal with terrormorfs is bringing back extincted animal to live, most of what you'll see is either this animal walking around the planet and fighting terrormorfs or UC bringing them on some of the settled planets. They are around 3 to 4 hours long and probably best rewards are for Ryujin corporation (manipulation perk). All those questlines are on level with main story quests.

This is a weird thing - it is a Bethesda game, but I didn't see any game breaking bugs. There was only 1 crash during my gameplay which may not even be game's fault (AMD driver died), and all I had were some minor things - occasional black screen in item menu, some weird graphical glitches when interacting with loot boxes and - worst of it all - some very minor NPCs didn't leave my ship after I've finished their quest (take them from planet A to B). Biggest issue with that was that they were standing in the middle of narrow corridor, so everytime I wanted to go from entrance of my ship to the pilot's seat I had to push them out of the way.
Update - in NG+ probably biggest bug I've encountered was Walter Stroud somewhere in the stratosphere instead on Neon which forced me to reload a bit older save (30 minutes lost? maybe not even that).

I like the style of the graphics - feels simplistic, but in elegant way. The problem is that the optimalization is terrible, if this game can't run on SOLID 60 fps in 1080p High on 6750 XT, then maybe it's time to ditch this engine in favor of something better.

Quests: It's a very, very repetitive game. You'll be travelling multiple planets during single quests and mose of those quests could be summarized in 'go -> kill -> fetch'.
HUD and menus: This is the first Bethesda game where I've set quick binds (1-0) to use items. I didn't NEED those in F4, F3 or FNV. Starfield menus are clunky and there's too much clicking involved to get to the bottom of your inventory to select a interesting item. Menu overhaul mod might be a good idea. Also, I had a hard time picking medicine to treat some issues in the game - you need to hover over an item with a mouse to see which exact issue it can help you with (using icons). IMO those icons SHOULD be under name of an item.
Crafting: Crafting? What crafting? Sure, it's big, it's complex, BUT WHY THERE'S NO SINGLE CONTAINER TO WHICH YOU CAN DUMP ALL RESOURCES AND ALL THE CRAFTING STATIONS CAN USE THEM? It worked in Falllout 4, why can't it work here? Due to that I've crafted maybe 3 or 5 items throughout whole game.
Update on crafting: it would be nice if the tip about 'resources during crafting will be taken from your ship' was somewhere in the beginning of the game - I've found it in the middle of NG+ run. But the need for additional research and not only perk unlocks is a nice thing in my opinion.
Combat: If you liked F4 combat style, you'll like this one too, but without VATS.
Movement: Jetpack is a cool idea, same as using O2 as a form of Stamina. Overall "feel" of movement is similiar to F4. Also - there's no swimming which is weird considering that we have WHOLE UNIVERSE TO US. So in starfield all water reservoirs are so shallow that there's no ocean life?
EDIT on movement: I just remembered - swimming animations ARE in the game, but for your companions. Not for you.
EDIT on movement 2: swimming IS in the game, but you can't dive and I saw swimming only in one enclosed pool.
New Game+: the conecpt (after getting through NG+ run) is actually pretty cool. One major issue - it is poorly (un-evenly) implemented. For example: after mission with Walter on Neon, you meet one of the starborns. Walter is surpised by their ship and after returning to Lodge everyone is 'what the hell is this?'. Yet he failed to realized, that he was on same type of ship. Why? Maybe laziness, maybe time constraint, I don't know. NG+ concept can be fun and can help you significantly alter the story of the game, but it should be on one level throughout the game, not 'here we will do checks for NG+, here we will not'.
Building and decorating: you can buy (or get for questline finish UC Vanguard) your own apartments. It comes with one little caviat - there's no snapping to walls, so you must be either perfect with your movement or be ok with the fact that your furniture will always be a little bit skewed. Also, if you have your own ship with a bed, will you go back to one of the settled planets specifically to your home to sleep? It may look cool and if you love decorating you may like that, but it's too fiddly for me (unless I missed a button that turns on snapping because it wasn't explicitly stated during 'tutroial').

As stated in the beginning - this is a good game, but it was overhyped and sometimes feels incomplete (ocean exploration in DLCs?). It's not worth full price, wait for discounts or maybe for some Complete edition of the game.

Basically, Half-Life for 2020. If you didn't play original HL or playing it right now makes you sick, try this one. Crowbar Collective cranked Half-Life to 11.

Jeśli ktoś nie boi się japońskiej szkoły robienia gier ze wszystkimi dziwactwami i lubi historie szpiegowskie/militarne, powinien w to zagrać.

Jeśli istniałby ranking 'plot twistów', Prey byłby zaraz za Bioshock: Infinite.

Pretty good if you forgive weird matchmaking system witch will pair noob with pro.

Best online module in GTA series.

Demo of a pretty good game, but pretty expensive for being what it is.

Another game from Valve - genious creators of Hat Simulator (Team Fortress 2), Get-Angry-For-Not-Getting-Heals (Dota 2): CSGO - Spend-Your-Money-On-Virtual-Guns. It will suck your will to live but you will not stop. You will play it. You will spend money on it. On better mouse, keyobard, monitor. And you'll get matched with Russians. GG.

10/10, would buy it again.

And now it's free-to-play, because why not.
