Games like Doom and Quake shaped my childhood in such a profound way. The run-and-gun shooter type is a go-to for me, almost a comfort genre, and it’s a genre that Boss Key Productions’ Lawbreakers slid into perfectly. Unfortunately, the launch was anything but successful and the studio behind the first-person shooter faded away into

Hitman 3.

Death awaits. Everything IO Interactive has said or released about HITMAN 3 has pointed to endings. It’s ‘the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy’ we are told.
