15 Best Video Game Levels Of 2016

8. Sapienza - Hitman

What IO Interactive created in 2016's Hitman is nothing short of extraordinary. That opening sentiment I described of modern games being intricate clockworks of code and authorship? It's right here, to a degree that no other developer can match.

Now, every fan has their favourite map, but I'm going with Sapienza, simply for the sheer variety of ways to play. At any given time you could be role-playing a chef and poisoning the soup, impersonating a golfing coach to brain your target with a club, sniping them from across the city or convincing your target the ghost of his dead mother is back again, before offing him in his own bedroom.

As you do.

It's genuinely staggering just how much game is in each individual scenario, and if you gave Hitman a pass due to its episodic nature, now's the time to dive in.
