From our Hitman review:

'I enjoyed Hitman, and I think that the episodic nature is going to keep me coming back to the game again and again to pull and prod at the game's systems. If you're the type of person that wants to devour a game whole, you might want to wait till the disc based release coming next year. It's hard to put a score on what is, by its own admission, an unfinished game, and with that much still up in the air I'm not able to slap one of our recommended stickers at the bottom of the review - but this tiny slice is the finest Hitman title so far, and if they can keep the quality this high, I think a lot of people will enjoy it.'

We test Hitman using DirectX 12 and the highest available detail setting for each option, with anti-aliasing set to FXAA. The game has a built-in benchmark, which is what we use, recording performance over the first 90 seconds - essentially all of it.
