Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Finally, a Hitman game has the smoothest gameplay I've enjoyed thoroughly, after suffering through countless jank and bugs in the first entry and almost hitting full marks with the 2nd, but still not quite there.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting takes a more serious tone, shedding much of the cheesiness from previous games.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visual fidelity, though modest by modern standards, benefits from strong art direction and lighting that conceal its limitations.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
No longer am I forced to throw my weapons hanging in midair nor ragdoll physics going wack as if c47 was making a hilarious buggy comeback.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is more balanced compared to the punishing nature of Silent Assassin.
