Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Played exclusively on Steam Deck and while it does work out of the box, it is also quite the energy-intensive (20% battery life for 30 minutes of gameplay).

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I have a physical copy of Hitman (2016) for PS4, deluxe physical edition digital of Hitman 2 for PS5 and now, as of writing this - Hitman WOA on Steam as well.
