Community Insight:
We downloaded this game two years ago without any expeditions and we have been blown out of the water. The satisfaction of getting stuck on a level for a week, putting the game down for a sec, and then coming back for a win is unmatched. Great game and only complaint is needs more levels.
Never played any Hitman games, but we like puzzle games and this one is great. Looking forward to the Lara Croft one after we finish this one.
This game is a masterpiece. It plays perfectly on a mobile device. All you need to do is swipe your finger in the direction you wish to move. We love the beautiful diorama sets. The music is atmospheric without being annoying. Ive been playing this game since it was released in 2014 and still havent found a game we enjoy more.
OG or Classic whatever you wanna call it.
Waste the ideas but love the game.
Simple mechanics, good puzzles, lots of levels. Worth it.
Best game we ever played in our life.

Im just a fan of agent 47 in general and Im glad theres something simple and fun to pass the time while playing as our favorite assassin.
Makes you think but its not too difficult hours of fun.
We always loved Hitman and no matter what the game Ill play it and love it. Since PS2 onward thank you guys for the happy memories.
Its still fun many years later, please add controller supply.
We lived and loved all the originals and its such a fun game to play if youre an avid fan. Lots of nostalgia and its great for those moments you need something fun but mobile. Hope they release more games like this for the Hitman enthusiasts cause Id buy it.
Not like the Hitman games in the same way, but gives a vibe and fun game to play whenever.
We loved this game we did but we havent not been able to open it. Please fix it please.
We REALLY loved Tomb Raider Go and assumed this game would be similar. It is NOT. This NOT WORTH THE $4.99. We wish we could get our $ back because we beat the first 12 levels in 3 minutes and cannot bring ourselves to go through another level. Seriously. Very disappointing.
This amazing game came out in 2014. Eight years later and its still the best game Ive played on the App Store. Ive finished it several times but love it so much we still return to it.
The negative reviews seem to mostly stem from the simplicity of the game. We personally enjoy it. Its a puzzle game with a Hitman skin. Simple to pick up and play a few boards and put back down. Id give it another star if the sound or music worked. Ive tried everything: disabling / enabling these options from the menu, reinstalling, restarting our phone, etc.
We see now it has iCloud support. Wish it could support it back then.
Love this series of games but they all play on older smaller screens loved or see one last update for the new iPads and iPhone.
Ive had this game for so long, and we cannot tell you how fun this game is and just easy to get lost into to, especially to relax your mind. We highly recommend this to anyone.
Nice sound try and sound design we enjoy playing it and relaxing at the same time.
This is awesome we love the game.
Lo que mas disfruto es el rompecabezas, y su combinacin con la esttica GO, piezas de juegos de mesa… Est muy bien pensado. Es interesante como mantiene todo el juego el lenguaje de los tableros y las fichas, para mostrarnos una historia supuestamente violenta (que ya no lo es). Felicidades al equipo desde La Habana.
So im glad hitman did waste levels on making sure you got the game down.
Hitmans emphasis on environmental puzzle-solving over running and gunning translates excellently to a turn-based puzzle game where enemies move after you do. The board-game aesthetic, complete with levels (roughly 90 of them) being grouped into fictional Hitman boxes, looks incredible and would easily be convincing as a physical product. When enemies are killed, by you walking your character into theirs or even by picking up a single-use rifle or pair of pistols, their pieces are simply picked up and removed from the game board. (An exception is when certain statues or chandeliers are shot, which fall onto enemies.) Most levels after the wordless but informative tutorials have optional objectives (from pacifism to kill all, or making various uses of the environment), and the more you complete, the more level packs you unlock. The only microtransaction we noticed was for additional single-use level-objective solutions, which can be made infinite for $5. They walk you through solving an individual objective step by step, and if you accidentally close out of it, you can reuse that instance of that hint for free. The difficulty curve is rather steep, more so than Lara Croft Go which we also loved and would probably recommend more for inexperienced users, but completing levels in optimal numbers of turns is incredibly satisfying. Highly recommended.
Our Xbox one X died so now we are waiting for the new Xbox one series X. We bought this game as a way to supplement our Hitman gaming. We are not disappointed as it get your brain stimulated.
We love hard games, yes we do, but it takes so long to get hints again, and Im a noob, so if you like incredibly hard things, this is for you.
All of the games in the go series are perfect and its really sad to see that the company has moved over to low effort free games that require IAPS to make money. Make quality games and people will buy them we dont understand how These developers would abandon a series that earned them game if the year because it wasnt profitable makes us mad to see all the toxic free to play games that take zero effort to make.
This game perfectly takes the elegance and sophistication of the hitman franchise and puts it into diorama form, suitable for mobile use. Its a great on the go alternative, and super fun to play through. Its a very nice strategy game.
Really fun game but would be better if it gave you a golden statue to customize your character for when you finish the game.
Its fine and a nice way to pass time.
We really enjoy this game. Its a lot of fun and its challenging enough to make you think, without driving you insane.
Really liked the environment of the game.
Love this game! Definitely a different approach to the game but we love these type of puzzle games. Good stuff.
We love this game. It is a combination of things we love, miniatures, great graphics, strategy, and a little violence. We stumbled on this game and havent stopped playing.
This game gives you IQ points back after years and years of substance abuse. Play it as much as possible make it your new drug Huey Lewis.
This is a terrific game, but Ive completed it… We want more! Hey devs – Id pay you for some new levels.
Love it very much like the Hitman we come to love it is very addictive and it kills a lot of time lol get it kills wow its a very good game to purchase its worth it.
This is a fantastic game worth the money. Hours of gameplay, fun, great graphics. Love it.
This game is so great! We have played completely through it a total of 4 times (100%) and am going again through for a 5th time. It is truly a fantastic game and would completely recommend! Easily one of our top favorite mobile games of all time. Fun, clean puzzles that are the perfect level of challenge. We think this one is the best of the three Go games. MUST PLAY. Only critique is we wish there was a sequel to this.
Wonderful board game brought to our iPad! Very entertaining, and you dont NEED to purchase much so far.
Not updated for iPad Pro 2018 support, please update it.
Not big on video games but we love puzzles. This is a great strategy puzzle. Love it.
We loved the GO series. Such a shame there will not be anymore in the future. Would have been cool to have seen an Indiana Jones or Resident Evil GO series even Assassins Creed GO series would have been awesome. Hopefully the studio will rethink this decision and continue to make more. We hope the GO series that are on the AppStore will continue to get support.
Having long loved the Hitman franchise, we love this brilliant reinvention of the character into a turn based board game. The visuals, sound effects, music, and foremost gameplay is amazingly well designed with care and attention and ingenuity. It keeps you on your toes by upping the challenge periodically, and is great at gradually introducing newer and harder concepts. One of our favorite games of all time for an iPad.
Hitman GO is the best game in the history of the App Store, and perhaps of any game system in general. It is innovative and uses a fresh game mechanic which was successfully employed in the two follow-up games of the series. The diorama art style is beautiful. The music is atmospheric. Humor is present. The puzzles are challenging but obtainable. This game does everything right. We would gladly pay for more levels.
Fun game 5 stars it cost a little too much but its worth it.
We have been playing the Hitman series since we were kid playing on the PlayStation 2. Now we have the newest (2017) hitman game on our ps4, so we know about the Hitman series. This game is a perfect on-the-go game. We were skeptical at first, due to the fact that we didnt know how it would be playing a board game- scheme Hitman game. However, this game is great and it still takes some strategy to beat.
