On paper, the game sounds brilliant but they just don’t execute it properly. Maybe with more time or a larger budget the game could have been better, but who is to say? Maximum Games has said they plan on making sequels, so if that is true I hope they will learn from this game and take their time with the sequel and iron out the bugs and spruce the game up a bit.

When the various elements come together, which does happen in certain sections and when fate allows, the game has the potential to be a clever, informative and historically accurate stealth game set among one of the most intriguing and fascinating in recent history, but too often this potential is over shadowed by clunky controls, questionable AI and dated graphics that make the game look like it is a port from a previous console generation. This is probably one of the most scathing reviews I have written, but amongst all its faults I am still giving Alekhine’s Gun a chance I currently have it sitting on pause on my PS4, so it must be doing something right, quite what is open to interpretation. REVIEW CODE: A complimentary Sony Playstation 4 code was provided to Brash Games for this review.

Alekhine's Gun stole from the best, but didn't know what to do with the spoils of its crime. The story is interesting and the levels are playable thanks to the source material being just that good, but it's missing the spark and attention to detail which made Hitman such a phenomenon. The copycat locations may look better than the originals, but the gameplay simply isn't there. Disclosures: This game was obtained via publisher and reviewed on the PS4.
