Back in April, the popular puzzler Hitman GOarrived as a universal game for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone. Priced at $4.99 the Xbox enabled game was a bit pricey but the two licenses and excellent gameplay more than justified the cost for many.
This morning, the game has dropped to just 99 cents in what is certainly a temporary sale. For just $1 you can run this game on your Surface, PC, and phone with gameplay synchronized to take your 'saves' with you.
If you have not yet tried Hitman GO, it is a variation of the popular first-person shooter. Instead of an FPS, the game combines a puzzle-type situation where you have to sneak by bodyguards and complete missions. You can win by either completing the mission, doing so in X amount of moves or grabbing the extra briefcase.
I am not going to pull any punches here: I think Hitman GO is one of the unique and fun games to have landed on Xbox for Windows and Windows Phone in a while. The graphics of the game are exceptional as it looks like a 3D rendered board game. The UI is clean and minimal and almost Windows 10.
For 99 cents, you would be silly to pass this up. Currently, the game maintains a 4.7 (out of 5) review on the Store, and it is well worth it. Remember, that 99 cents unlocks both versions of the game, you do not need to pay twice.
