The pay to play thing is a bit overreaching, 2 maps and accessories for another 25$ but on a discount makes the whole package 55$ so it is what it is basically got 2 full games for price of 1 new one.
That aside, the maps are beautiful, the dialogue is natural, the characters are placed well to make it difficult but not impossible. The maps are HUGE which is awesome. Spending a lot of time exploring for cool ways to kill the targets in a beautiful setting is the ideal premise of this game. As a huge fan of the movie and the older games I had to grab on sale and it didn’t disappoint like a lot of newer games tend to.
Overall, grab on sale, especially if you love what hitman really should feel like. Tense moments, cool strategy with moments of success feeling gratifying. Solid execution.
