Hitman 3’s shortcuts are indicative of IO Interactive’s smart design

Hitman 3 is the game I need right now.

For the most part, it’s still the same experience that developer IO Interactive delivered with Hitman and Hitman 2 in 2016 and 2018, respectively. But on top of the excellent new levels, it has a handful of smart new features. Most important, however, Hitman 3 strikes a balance between its guided authorial gameplay and its playful murder sandbox.
