Ratings and reviews

Hitman Go is the kind of game that, if not for the mobile space, you would only see on the NES or ancient PC's. It is a game that takes the core mechanics of the Hitman games- stealth, dodging guards, assassinations, and disguises- and distills them into their purest, most abstract form. Adding to its old school appeal is the fact that there's no story, no tutorial, no text whatsoever! Plus, the board game aesthetic is super creative, and really adds to the feeling of the game being a miniaturized abstraction of Agent 47's assassin hijinks. Intuitive pick up and play controls and great puzzle design make this one of the best games on mobile.

Hitman go has a stylish appearance that compromises readability. The camera plays against you, constantly moving in too close and limiting visibility of the board, if you zoom out is hard to read the elements of the board. The controls are not good either. Tomb raider fixed the camera angle and allowed you to drag anywhere on the screen to move, here we have to drag the character, already uncomfortable as it is the camera shifting all the time doesn't help. Good puzzles though.

Still as fun as it was back in the Fall of 2015 when I first played it. Just wondering why games like this are abandoned even though the series is still popular. More content here would probably rejuvenate the games existence. Although it is fun, there's one perfect way to do each level meaning it's mostly all trial & error. Some of the best sound design ever in a mobile game though. They did Tomb Raider & Deus Ex also so I wish they would do a Thief version since that's one of their games too.
