Hitman Go VR feels unnecessary. It's an excellent puzzle game, but it's already available on a bunch of different platforms where it plays very well; the non-VR versions will be enough to enjoy everything Hitman Go has to offer. Solving its puzzles is as satisfying and enjoyable as eliminating a target without getting detected, but the VR version shouldn't be your first choice to experience them.

To make a long story short, if you’re looking for a puzzle game that feels just as awesome in short sessions on the go as it does on the big screen for hours at a time, as well as what is likely the best Hitman game since 2006, then Hitman GO: Definitive Edition is absolutely for you.
