Far from it, as the maps on display here are some of the most dense and engaging playgrounds I’ve ever experienced in a sandbox game, and the mechanics at your disposal create a wealth of wonderful opportunities for experimentation and improvisation. Now, that’s not to say Hitman 3 lacks depth. Hitman 3 is not one of these games, and that’s a large part of why it’s such a welcoming and entertaining cap to developer IO Interactive’s World of Assassination trilogy - as well as a great entry point into the stealth genre as a whole.

In a game like Dark Souls, failure means being sent back to your last bonfire and being stripped of your hard-earned souls, forcing you to make it back to the spot of your demise or else risk losing your currency. They require a level of inherent ability, a fundamental understanding of the rules and mechanics, and quick reflexes to react to whatever situation you might find yourself in. There are some games that demand greatness from the player.
