Is it still worth playing?

IO Interactive's 2018 stealth game, the second of the World of Assassination trilogy, in which the genetically engineered assassin Agent 47 hunts a mysterious Shadow Client. It has eight missions set in sandbox locations, among them Miami, a village in Colombia, the slums of Mumbai and a fictional island in the Northern Isles of Scotland. Agent 47 is fragile in combat, so you work by stealth: disguises taken from incapacitated characters or found on the map open restricted areas, and bodies have to be hidden. Overheard conversations unlock mission stories that show a target's routine and unusual openings, and kills can be staged as accidents. Each place is a sandbox you have to understand before you can use it. You still find something new in a map on a second visit, because there is always another way in.
