IO Interactive releases a VR edition of Hitman: World of Assassination Trilogy for PlayStation VR2, aiming to redeem the series' mixed virtual reality history.
The game features sandbox stealth gameplay following Agent 47 through varied global locations to take out targets using disguises and creative weapon choices.
Improvements from previous VR releases include enhanced dual-wielding mechanics, physical interactions with the environment, and detailed weapon handling.
Graphics have been upgraded for a more realistic and detailed experience, aligning closer with the PlayStation 5 version.
The VR adaptation features comfort options like blinders, adjustable motion settings, and head-based movement, but lacks quicksave functionality.
Gameplay encourages experimentation, offering complex puzzle-like assassination missions with various replayability factors.
Combat has been enhanced in VR, offering a more engaging and action-packed experience compared to previous non-VR versions.
Some limitations in VR version include excluded content like certain game modes and bonus missions, leaving room for potential future updates.
Hitman: World of Assassination Trilogy for PS VR2 offers a refined VR experience, blending Hitman's signature gameplay elements effectively in a VR space.
While not without flaws, the game showcases improvements that make it a worthwhile VR port for fans of the Hitman series and VR enthusiasts alike.
