In this gripping tale of Hitman: World of Assassination Signature Edition's arrival on the Switch 2, we witness a clash of expectations and reality. The game's use of a physical game key card may leave collectors dismayed, requiring a hefty 61 GB download despite the cartridge's presence. The absence of Switch 2's unique features like mouse controls and gyro aiming is a missed opportunity, forcing players to rely on traditional analog stick aiming. However, the game's control options, including Joy-Con 2 functionality, provide a decent gaming experience with sensitivity adjustments and control rebinding available.
The Switch 2's 3D directional audio shines in creating an immersive gameplay environment, enhancing the player's ability to strategize and execute missions effectively. While the handheld mode impresses with its visuals, offering a smooth gameplay experience despite a resolution drop, the docked mode lacks the finesse of other versions due to the absence of ray tracing. The game's occasional crashes, though not ideal, do not significantly detract from the overall experience, providing a comprehensive package with the full Hitman trilogy included.
Despite the game's strengths, the absence of cross progression and save file issues may pose challenges for players transitioning from other platforms. Offline play limits access to online features, impacting the variety of mission challenges and side activities available. Hitman's sandbox missions offer a blend of stealth and creativity, encouraging players to experiment with different approaches and unlock new tools and outfits. Ultimately, Hitman: World of Assassination Signature Edition on Switch 2 delivers a compelling stealth experience, albeit missing some Switch-specific features, making it a worthwhile consideration for fans of the franchise seeking portability and content value.
