Ordinary people do terrible things. The tenet is just as accurate in IO Interactive’s Hitman series as it is in real life, and while that truism may cause distress for some, for Agent 47, it’s a chance to earn a bit of extra cash untethered from his usual employer. Hitman 3 Freelancer mode forces you to adopt a hybrid approach in the stealth game, improvising nearly every move and hoping for the best. Based on our time with the closed technical test, Freelancer mode feels more Hitman than the actual Hitman campaigns at times, only without the elaborate stories and sinister cabal of villains.
