  1. Some thoughts on Hitman 3 now I've played every level: I love it because I love the Hitman games but I think it's easily the worst of the World of Assassination trilogy and is lacking some of the polish of Hitman and Hitman 2.

      Dubai is beautiful and expansive but I was disappointed at how linear it felt on a first playthrough and how easy it was to get Silent Assassin. The level acted as somewhat of a training mission.

        Similarly with the Romania mission which is just a bit nothing. Played through three times this morning and that's finished most of the challenges.

          The other levels however are classic Hitman and I can't wait to discover more and for more Escalations to come out for them. Dartmoor is excellent and I've gone back to that a few times. Berlin has an intimidating level of potential ways to go through it.

            Ultimately I agree with @ckunzelman's Vice review that the game loses what makes Hitman great the more it explores its story. I don't particularly need any throughline: I just want disconnected assassination missions in interesting environments. vice.com/en/article/dy85gm/hitman-3-review
