Hitman World of Assassination is available on mobile and it is a must have

I don’t think I have ever done more of a 180 on a game series than Hitman. Back when I was but a teenager, I tried a level of Blood Money and really didn’t like it. It had a kitchen, that is all I remember. It felt too slow, and the no-saves bothered me. Then entered Hitman World of Assassination, and my life changed.

A YouTube group, OutsideXbox, got me interested in the game, so I tried the free level. I played it for hours one night, completing every single challenge, and purchased the full game the next day. Now, you too can have your revelation, thanks to WOA launching on Apple.

It feels wildly unfair to compare WOA to Blood Money, but that is my only frame of reference, so I have to. The maps are so incredibly detailed, and I like that you can save during missions now. Sometimes you have to run out, and I hated seeing my progress lost because of this.

Even if you don’t enjoy stealth, you can unexpectedly adapt WOA to any style. Yes, going in guns blazing is difficult, but I found it to be a very effective way to complete the Contracts, time-sensitive missions you can only attempt every so often. Simply charge in, headshot, and leg it. Crude, but effective.

The only sticking point is the price. $69.99 is a lot to ask, but you can easily get your money's worth. You would think replaying the same maps over and over to fully complete the task list would be boring, but it is so engaging. The different ways you can dispatch your target are inventive and, at times, hilarious. 

All this to say, if you can afford it, I would highly recommend picking up Hitman World of Assassination from the App Store. Just don’t do the really weird kills in public. You might get some stares. And I would definitely steal your phone to play it instead.
