Mumbai is a standout with its densely populated streets and labyrinths of tenement buildings-a great environment that makes the most of a new Assassin's Creed-style crowd blending mechanic, allowing you to disappear into big groups of people. Hitman 2 takes you to six new locales, and each poses unique situations to overcome as you attempt to assassinate your targets. Hitman 2 ditches the episodic model and adds a few new minor mechanics, but the loop of continuously replaying a single location, slowly uncovering the wealth of possibilities, and being able to effectively draw upon that knowledge in new challenges is where Hitman is strongest. The episodic nature of the Hitman refresh in 2016 saw IO Interactive release one level every month-a contentious move at the time, but one that helped accentuate the potential in each mission.

But it's also a game about exploring large, real-world-inspired spaces, learning about how they operate, finding multiple solutions to problems, and using that knowledge to improvise and manipulate the environment to hit the people you're hunting. Well, killing specific people and trying not to kill other people unless you really have to.
