Aim for the head(set)

New locations are the real draw of Hitman 3, but there are new features too. Chief among them is a VR mode, allowing you to play all levels from the entire trilogy (should you own them) from a totally fresh perspective. The only downside here is that it’s currently a PSVR exclusive for Playstation players only, so more powerful headsets (and indeed computers) will have to wait.

In terms of in-game additions, there’s a new persistent shortcut system: find and open a shortcut during one playthrough of a level and it’ll be unlocked permanently, giving you a quicker and easier route through the location. There’s also a camera gadget for both locating clues and hacking electronic locks, with an in-game photo mode for creative screenshots.

Neither of these transforms gameplay drastically, but both feel like welcome refinements. In truth, the core gameplay of sneaking around locations, disguising yourself to access prohibited areas and using your environment and/or equipment to eliminate your targets hasn’t changed since the original Hitman reboot of 2016 – but given how well it works and how much fun it is to play, that’s no bad thing.
