The verdict
A brilliant stealth-sandbox of huge, replayable assassination levels, but it's delisted, tied to confusing DLC and always-online. Skip it if you're new; play World of Assassination instead.
Great for
Patient, creative players who love planning and replaying huge sandbox levels with many ways to kill
Main risk
Delisted, so missions past the first are locked behind unobtainable DLC, and online-only features
What players love
Huge, detailed, beautiful levels
