After 5 years, the end is finally here. Hitman 3 has some of the most entertaining levels throughout the entire franchise, however it's not the levels that carry this game, it's the story. The game picks up right after the events of Hitman 2 and follows Agent 47, Lucas Grey and Diana Burnwood as they try to take down providence once and for all. Right from the very first level you can tell that ioi wanted to show off everything they could do with fantastic graphics, fun assassination opportunities and great level design.
Right after you finish the Dubai level you think that they will take down providence quite easily as both 47 and Lucas are very skilled operatives, however that all changes at the end of the second level with the death of Lucas Grey. This moment caught me off guard as Lucas was a very important character both in the story and 47's life, the scene was very well acted and really shocked the player. This is all topped off with the scenario that Diana Burnwood will join The Constant and become the next head of Providence.
Arthur Edwards (The Constant) really shows you why he's the best villain in the Hitman franchise as he's able to get under 47's skin and manipulate every situation he's in. Diana is arguably the most important character in this game as it focuses a lot on her relationship with 47 and it's teased multiple times that she'll kill 47, luckily it doesn't come to that and she was playing the constant the entire time which sets up a very satisfying end to this trilogy where 47 and Diana continue to work together.
My negatives with this game come with The Constant because he isn't shown enough and I thought that his end was quite abrupt whilst 47 and Diana's story was very satisfying, I really wish they'd used him more. My other negative with the game comes with the opportunities as there are significantly less of them when compared to Hitman (2016) and Hitman 2 (2018), it's just baffling why ioi decided to do this instead of going all the way.
Overall Hitman 3 is a very good game that's made with lots of love from its developers and packs a lot of emotion if you're a long time fan of the series.
