At a Glance Our Verdict Mario + Rabbids Kingdom isn’t going to be a game that appeals to everyone with the slow pace and limited gameplay.

“This is a true Hitman fantasy, a highly challenging, thinking person’s game where creativity is rewarded,” said Christian Elverdam, creative director at Io-Interactive. “You have the power and intelligence of Agent 47 at your fingertips and it is your choice whether to use brute force or orchestrate a genuine masterpiece of assassination.” Since the game is called just Hitman it was initially referred to as Hitman 2015, however the delay (see below) means it’s now known as Hitman 2016 but also commonly called Hitman Agent 47 which is what we’re using....
