    Densely packed, tightly scripted and ripe with potential for those prepared to put in the hours. [Aug 2016, p.91]

    In all, Episode 3 of Hitman stays faithful to the quality standards of the previous episodes and has quite astonishing graphic improvements. However, the stealth required has also increased drastically, limiting possible creative playstyles. Nonetheless, it is still a great chapter that offers all you expect of a Hitman game.

    'Marrakesh' is a step back from the successes of previous episodes, but not dramatically so. IO seems to be experimenting with different playstyles that leave less room for debate, but the classic DNA of 'Hitman' permeates everything and I will have no problem coming back for the next round.

    Hitman Marrakesh
    Densely packed with frustration
    Hitman Marrakesh is the 3rd episode in the new hitman series, and this is hands down the    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 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
