Now this is going to be very difficult for me. I love all of them equally (excluding the train since it’s not as open as the others and gets boring after around two playthroughs, I still like it though) so in the end I might have to sacrifice one of them.
I want to try to stick with Dubai for the rest of the heat to make sure it goes to the next round. At first it feels as if we’ve been there but something about how the level is constructed makes it very fun to traverse through the many routes. It doesn’t deserve all the hate it gets just for being similar to other levels.

For me Dubai just feels dense and keeping the public party area relatively small allows for a lot more interesting exploration of the building with great interwoven design. It’s my favourite H3 map for contracts
Chongqing on the other hand has woefully dull targets. None of the areas feel cohesive. It’s pretty bad for contracts mode in my opinion. And perhaps worst of all it severely let’s down on the concept of ‘dense inner city’ that most of us expected (and I’d say the trailer implied). But also criticising a piece of art based on your expectations is awfully flawed too, so
I’m curious why?
Feels like an odd choice to negativity review something based on advertising rather than the levels intrinsic quality. But go off I can’t judge

I´m pretty tempted to downvote Chongqing exactly for the city concept lettdown and missed opportunities with targets/lore, cause it still pisses me off (still hoping for that bonus mission to make up for it), but I´ll stick to downvoting Berlin, even though it´s futile.
Think Dubai is the one mission in the WOA that feels rather “been there, done that.” I think it needed one more idea ontop of the skyscraper setting. Don’t think either target is that interesting route wise. Don’t like the top of the skyscraper just being a house essentially, and I also don’t like the middle 2 floors to being quite weirdly laid out, it feels like the middle floors had to join the dots to connect the top and bottom floors together. Just weird things like the location of the server room and that security room which is a tight corridor.
Mind you I’m also not a huge fan of China either, and while I like Romania, I don’t think it really deserves to make it too far in the contest. Dartmoor is great but also a bit too small for my liking and a little bit limited I feel. Berlin is the one map I have really connected with and fallen in love with. Mendoza is in a weird position for me. After playing through the storyline, I wound up focusing on 1 location at a time to reach max mastery and get most challenges. Mendoza is the only location I haven’t done that on, I’m only level 8, because by the time I reached it, I was burned out on Hitman 3. I think Mendoza is great, I’m just a bit unsure about stuff, like I don’t really understand how the target routes work yet, like whether the Herald meeting is on a timer or it requires a trigger?
Said this in another thread but for me, I’m very passionate about most Hitman 2 levels. With Hitman 3, as it stands, Berlin is the only one I’m super passionate about.
I’m hoping when I return to Mendoza to get full mastery, I wind up feeling passionate about the level too. Really my only hangup is basically understanding the targets properly. I love Diana being physically present in a level, but the way she is escorted by a target is something I’m not sure I like, but again, there’s a bunch of stuff I haven’t done yet.
Just wanted to ask this but since you haven’t played H3 are you avoiding spoilers or embracing the fact that you are spoiled of h3? (As you can see I haven’t paid attention to what you’ve been doing)
I know the main plot, watched the cutscenes and a few runs but that’s about it. Don’t know much of what goes on about in each individual level and I wish to find out by my own, playing at my leisure and pace

I really love Dartmoor. Great atmosphere, characters, targets, routes. And the size is just perfect. As for Chongqing: I never got into this level that much. Got max Mastery, played a few contracts there. It just somehow doesn’t feel “right” as a Hitman level. Would love Mendoza if it had more interesting Exit points and if more of the map was used.
Dartmoor was my least anticipated level prior to release. Was pleasantly surprised by it in the end and it´s probably the 2nd best level in the game for me (for now at least). Whereas with Chongqing (and to an extent Dubai) it was the other way around…

Death in the Family combines all hostile with piss-easy in a very unsatisfactory way. Aside from the little Agatha Christie “play” a couple of the unique NPCs decided to deliver this mission is just empty. One target that is so easy to kill it’s boring and a pointless fetch objective.
Chongqing is compact but no area is wasted, each offers diversity and challenge, nods to the earlier games, plenty of ways to manipulate the targets, server objective optional after first run and different starting location, but the alarm stage offers something new in terms of play style with a different enemy AI on heightened alert. And the rain!
Can’t believe some people are willing to throw this one under the bus.
I can’t judge
