In fact, whether it’s Mendoza in Argentina or Chongqing in China, each level brings an interesting variable to the table. This is perhaps best observed in Dartmoor, a rural part of south-west England famous for its National Park. It’s here that you’re tasked with eliminating Providence partner Alexa Carlisle, but there’s much more to this towering stately home than first appears. While the overarching storyline may not be anything to write home about, IO Interactive weaves dozens of tiny little plotlines into each location to truly bring them to life.

Similarly, combat - when you're not struggling with the motion controls - can be utterly intoxicating. Hunting a target, or indeed being on the receiving end of a hunting yourself is so much more intense in VR. Grabbing and choking out your targets can be a bit hit and miss due to the unreliability of the motion controls mind, but holy crap, when I went guns free to escape a secret research facility in the China level, my heart was in my mouth the entire time and I thoroughly felt like the unstoppable, unfeeling killing machine that 47 is meant to be. These playgrounds are perfect places to indulge in chaos, but more than that they are meticulously crafted virtual worlds that feel both alive and lived. To have achieved this, even with the limitations of the PSVR, is quite the accomplishment. a b Nunneley, Stephany (14 January 2016).

Skin-headed protagonist Agent 47 travels to an idyllic Italian seaside town in one instance, before heading to a high-tech spa retreat on the mountain range of Hokkaido. Each hit feels truly different and unique, from Colorado's focus on outright stealth to the organic, Bond movie-esque nature of the Bangkok hotel.

Events in the story do make for some interesting encounters, however. With the aforementioned assassin turned against his former employers the ICA, there’s a brilliant mission in Germany where you’re given the objective of taking down your ex-colleagues. Of course, because they all have the same skillset as Agent 47, that means they’re hiding in plain sight, so you must navigate an industrial nightclub in the capital city analysing the behaviour of its hundreds of guests, trying to figure out who exactly your targets are. It’s a stunning twist on the series’ established rules.Savage, Phil (3 January 2017). "The making of Sapienza, Hitman's best level". PC Gamer. Archived from the original on 16 April 2020 .

The Berlin level is probably my favourite to inhabit in VR though - it takes place in an underground club which is built on the ruins of an old power station and it provides an experience which feels incredibly authentic. Walking through the entrance corridor, through some dingy halls and then heading down the stairs all whilst hearing the pumping bass get louder and louder felt just like going to a real club. Berlin is up next, and again it mixes things up with a cat-and-mouse-style plot that sees you taking down multiple targets in a German nightclub. The location itself seems based on the capital city’s infamous Berghain nightclub, and we found ourselves taking to the dancefloor and enjoying the setting before even garroting a single target.
