Hamšík has been described as "quick, energetic, hard-working, and tactically versatile midfielder, who was capable of playing in several offensive positions on either side of the pitch, or even through the centre". Throughout his career, he was deployed as a central midfielder, as an attacking midfielder, as a mezzala, as a winger, or even as a supporting striker or inside forward on occasion. Although naturally right footed, he was capable of striking the ball well with either foot, and was known for his ability to both score and create goals, often dropping deep to participate in the build-up of his team's plays, courtesy of his vision, passing, and crossing ability. A talented, elegant, and technically gifted advanced playmaker, in addition to his footballing skills, he was also known for his leadership and stamina, as well as his play, movement, creativity, and intelligence off the ball, in particular his ability to find spaces and make attacking runs to get into good positions in the opposition's half, and his tireless running.{{cite web |url=http://www.sscnapoli.it/Squadra/Marek-Hamsik |title=Marek Hamsik |publisher=SSC Napoli |language=it |access-date=5 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161105145908/http://www.sscnapoli.it/Squadra/Marek-Hamsik|archive-date=5 November 2016|url-status=dead}}{{cite web |url=http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it/2010/aprile/09/Cocktail_Hamsik_Talento_gol_disciplina_ga_10_100409018.shtml |title=Cocktail Hamsik Talento, gol e disciplina |trans-title=Hamsik Cocktail Talent, goals and discipline |publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport |language=it |author1=Malfitano Mimmo |date=9 April 2010 |access-date=5 November 2015 |archive-date=28 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160428161241/http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it/2010/aprile/09/Cocktail_Hamsik_Talento_gol_disciplina_ga_10_100409018.shtml |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/could-liverpool-target-marek-hamsik-4357837 |title=Could Liverpool target Marek Hamsik be the man to save stuttering season at Anfield? |work=The Mirror |author1=Sheridan Bird |date=2 October 2014 |access-date=5 November 2015}}{{cite web |url=http://www.football-italia.net/62526/hamsik-only-wants-napoli |title=Hamsik only wants Napoli |publisher=Football Italia |date=11 February 2015 |access-date=5 November 2015 |archive-date=21 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160121004018/http://www.football-italia.net/62526/hamsik-only-wants-napoli |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=http://www.football-italia.net/69467/hamsik-%E2%80%98difficult-benitez%E2%80%99 |title=Hamsik: 'Difficult with Benitez' |publisher=Football Italia |date=20 July 2015 |access-date=5 November 2015 |archive-date=21 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160121004018/http://www.football-italia.net/69467/hamsik-%E2%80%98difficult-benitez%E2%80%99 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://it.eurosport.com/calcio/serie-a/2016-2017/tanti-napoli-tanto-hamsik-evoluzione-e-maturita-di-una-mezzala_sto6022811/story.shtml |title=Tanti Napoli, tanto Hamsik: evoluzione e maturità di una mezzala |publisher=Eurosport |language=it |last1=Beccantini |first1=Roberto |date=20 January 2017 |access-date=6 February 2020 }}{{cite web |url=https://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/marek-hamsik-is-slovakias-greatest-ever-sylvestr/e6zn7c1uvbs81gftd1ue210dw |title=Hamsik is Slovakia's greatest ever - Sylvestr |publisher=Goal.com |last1=Kinsella |first1=Nizaar |date=12 October 2018 |access-date=6 February 2020 }}{{cite web |url=https://www.tuttonapoli.net/notizie/napoli-ancora-un-lavezzi-modello-totti-29768 |title=Napoli, ancora un Lavezzi modello Totti? |publisher=Tutto Napoli |language=it |last1=Pelillo |first1=Marcello |date=16 October 2008 |access-date=11 June 2020 |archive-date=11 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200611180900/https://www.tuttonapoli.net/notizie/napoli-ancora-un-lavezzi-modello-totti-29768 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.tuttonapoli.net/esclusive/marco-liguori-hamsik-e-lavezzi-la-forza-del-napoli-23382 |title=Marco Liguori: Hamsik e Lavezzi la forza del Napoli |publisher=Tutto Napoli |language=it |date=31 October 2007 |access-date=11 June 2020 |archive-date=11 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200611182222/https://www.tuttonapoli.net/esclusive/marco-liguori-hamsik-e-lavezzi-la-forza-del-napoli-23382 |url-status=live }} He was also capable of playing as a deep-lying playmaker or in a box-to-box role, due to his passing and tactical intelligence, and was an effective free kick and penalty taker,{{cite web |url=https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/ag-hamsik-he-s-adapted-to-the-regista-role-very-well-89576 |title=Ag.

As early as 2013, Hamšík invested in FK Jupie Banská Bystrica - Podlavice, his youth club, renaming the club to Jupie Futbalová škola Mareka Hamšíka. In May 2022, while announcing his international retirement, Hamšík also announced the fusion of Jupie FŠMH and FK Rakytovce to form Rakytovce Sporting Club Hamsik Academy Banska Bystrica, with Rakytovce providing a 3. Liga senior side and Jupie FŠMH providing youth teams.{{Cite web |title=Na svete je Hamsik Academy {{!}} Marek Hamšík - oficiálna webová stránka |url=https://www.marek-hamsik.sk/na-svete-je-hamsik-academy |access-date=6 July 2022 |website=www.marek-hamsik.sk}}
