    Worst of the 3 episodes released thus far.

    It's not as organic as Sapienza. It's like 2 small levels combined (school and embassy), and between them a big marketplace with a huge crowd, but little to do. The location didn't appeal to me much. Dirty, noisy craphole of a city, I would never travel in real life. Unlike Paris and Sapienza, which were great just to explore and look at.

Everyone in HITMAN talks perfect English with American accent, which is most distracting in this episode thus far. Immersion totally broken, when African guy in a tunika says to me "Cool threads, bro."

    Still good game (with bad optimization) but hoping Thailand will reach closer to that Sapienza glory.    … Expand

    Hitman Marrakesh
    Densely packed with frustration
    Hitman Marrakesh is the 3rd episode in the new hitman series, and this is hands down the worst map released yet This map is essentially 2 hiding spots for your 2 targets with a giant market in the middle… all crawling with guards The problem with this map is the market… Everyone has at least 20 eyes on them… The same goes for your 2    Hitman Marrakesh

    Hitman Marrakesh is the 3rd episode in the new hitman series, and this is hands down the worst map released yet
    This map is essentially 2 hiding spots for your 2 targets with a giant market in the middle…
    all crawling with guards
    The problem with this map is the market…
    Everyone has at least 20 eyes on them…
    The same goes for your 2 targets
    There are no opportunities to steal a disguise here..
    I mean there are opportunities, but good luck pulling anything off when in a hitman game the simple act of turning a switch on or off is a quote unquote crime
    anytime you try to sabotage an area, you’ll almost instantly get shot at…
    And there are no real opportunities to lure a target away as again.. There is no spot without dozens of people around…
    I also found that there are no real moments in this level that spark your imagination of possibility to take advantage of an npcs situation like the past 2 maps have been crawling with..
    I found that the only way to get through this map was to kill and run, come back for my disguise later or simply ignore the opportunities and attempt to sneak past everyone and get inside someway other than the front door
    But once you do finally sneak into the area one of your targets are in, youll find that each of the 2 areas are pretty enclosed and void of any organic life
    just your standard buildings with guards and soldiers walking around
    The gameplay is also starting to become quite repetitive…
    Like the developers have already run out of ideas to distract or bring someone into a room and were only about halfway through releases.
    While Marrakesh is definitely a beautiful level and a different animal for stealth fans to try and tame
    I found it to be the least imaginative map yet.
    I give Hitman Marrakesh a 6/10    … Expand

    Marrakesh is a great episode, but it pales in comparison with the two previous ones, which feel much more dense. While it still gorgeous and full of life, certain areas feel a bit dull, just go-through areas with few to none opportunities.

    Marrakesh can stand very proud next to Sapienza. While it doesn’t quite reach the same heights, it is a very accomplished mission, built into a magnificent sandbox.

    Marrakesh is a much different beast, and while it lacks the nuanced complexity of Sapienza or the gaudy flash of Paris, it has a flavor all its own that highlights aspects of Hitman in challenging ways. Another solid entry in this series.
