Transforming hit console titles into hit mobile games isn't an easy task. Most video game publishers take the lazy route by releasing a free-to-play endless runner based on one of their popular licenses, instead of developing something unique for mobile devices. Square Enix is guilty of this tactic, launching Lara Croft: Relic Run in May, but the company has also started releasing some great mobile games starting with their Hitman titles.
Hitman Go is a turn-based puzzle game that has received great reviews from both fans and critics. This is why mobile gaming fans were excited when Square Enix announced they would be creating a Go title based on its Tomb Raider series.
