Fun like the previous two games, yet this one manages to feel like the weakest of the trilogy despite having absolutely stunning graphics. The story is pretty much nonsensical here and impossible to ignore because the stages entirely revolve around the annoying plot. The stages have had a small dip in quality too, with the Romania feeling especially egregious, in a series revolving around large open environments you can explore at your own pace, Romania is nothing but a linear train that you can gun down enemies through with no penalty. It almost feels like an insult. There's an entire stage in Britain that's a trespass zone to Agent 47 while in his starting suit, which is something the developers should've learned their lesson with the disastrous Colorado in 1, because it simply goes against the social stealth concept the series is built on and feels much more limited due to it. The stage heavily featured in the marketing, China, while stunning with it's beautiful lighting combined with rain effects, is ultimately annoying because of poor design choices throughout. The concept is fun yet the stage's layout is just irritating to navigate and even after playing it numerous times and getting the Silent Assassin rating, I still find myself getting confused occasionally because it's just so winding.

Overall, despite my incessant complaining, the game is still a pretty good capstone to one of the most phenomenal trilogies in recent memory and manages to be fun throughout, even if it is less so than it's predecessors.
