Hitman Mission Championship - Heat III

I fear Chongqing is done for, it’s got too many enemies, but no lie, it’s my favorite of H3. I literally had a beautiful dream about it.

I feel it suffers too much from expectations people had of it beforehand. I went in with no expectations and was just amazed with both the atmosphere and possibilities. The soundtrack, the rain, the way it progresses the story, a look inside the ICA. The Block and the Facility both offer a good challenge, and your targets can be mainpulated into coming out of hiding, and even coming together. Always a plus. Great sniper map in general, with even some target practice on the drones. Throwbacks to Hitman: Codename 47. All downvoted in a rush.

On the other hand, Death in the Family gets too much credit. Barely populated hostile map with mostly uninspired NPC routes. The murder mystery is the only thing that makes it stand apart but is non-replayable as the real culprit is always the same. You can’t even disguise as the butler. Meh.
