A discussion thread for the new escalation that dropped yesterday.
I personally enjoyed it, thought it was fun. I like how you can easily transition between the different areas with your targets, it makes for such a smooth experience. IMO more stealthy mass murder with that beat in the background is always amazing. I didn’t enjoy level three that much because I couldn’t stop trying to get Florida Man absurdly early, which got frustrating, but it’s still good.
It’s a bit of a shame the Rave On suit isn’t an unlock but I don’t mind, it is what it is.
I had fun with this one, and learned a bit more about the vents above the lowest level in the club in the process. It helped me that a couple of the targets were ones that I’d used in contracts mode previously. Felt like level 3 was best done starting as a bartender, even though the DJ can access more areas. Being able to poison Florida Man makes taking care of him a lot easier, and that hobby knife is right by the starting location.
This Escalation pretty much felt like a glorified set of contracts.
Though I appreciated IOI turning off the enforcers for the ICA agents. Made the approach to the level a lot less annoying than having to constantly watch for and dodge them.
I saved Florida Man for last. For some reason, his route started glitching out. He eventually ended up underground in the forest. He clipped out from under the hill, I took him out, and had to drag him all the way to the canals. Weird.
Besides that, I really enjoyed this one.
