Berlin is the best map in the trilogy which is saying so much knowing how I felt about Miami and other favorites. Dartmoor wasn't far behind and is another favorite.

it was very hit or miss on average but i enjoyed how much IOI played with the map and opportunity design framework on almost all of the levels here. i thought i knew what i was in for in terms of opportunities and general gameplay flow on multiple maps but ended up getting blown away. stuff like the investigation in Dartmoor and multiple targets to pick from of Berlin completely shifted what i could see as a Hitman level.

elsewhere i found myself really disappointed with maps like Dubai and Carpathian Mountains while ones like Chongqing and Mendoza were more middling. out of the three games in the trilogy, this is definitely the most inconsistent in quality. lots of ups and downs, it's just that the highs are so incredibly high this time around with both Berlin and Dartmoor. i might never play the bookending maps again.

i've definitely hit a bit of Hitman fatigue near the end of this so i'm glad to be finished. i enjoyed the trilogy a ton but will need to have some time away before i come back to sweep up extra mission stories or go backwards and try some of the other games.

as always, here's a map ranking:

Berlin
Dartmoor
Chongqing
Mendoza
Dubai
Carpathian Mountains
