The general sentiment of the reviews is that while Hitman: World of Assassination offers excellent stealth mechanics, replayability, and engaging world design, it is plagued by a confusing purchase system and issues with VR support. Many players view the monetization strategy as a scam, feeling frustrated over the need to purchase multiple DLCs to access full content. Although several players face technical problems such as game crashes, the highly praised gameplay mechanics and creative freedom within missions make it a worthwhile experience for fans of strategic stealth games.
