TESTED GAMESNew 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.Aim for the
