Parent Pro-Tip

Due to its mature themes and violent content, Hitman is best suited for older teenagers. If allowing play, engage in discussions about the game's ethical implications and the separation between game actions and real-world morality. Emphasize the strategic and puzzle-solving aspects rather than the violent outcomes.
