Over the past five years, Danish developer IO Interactive has been expanding upon its World of Assassination trilogy, bringing new sandbox locations to the game which give Agent 47’s passport a real workout. The sneaky skinhead has infiltrated a fashion show in Paris, a Bollywood film set in Mumbai, and an underground rave in Berlin. But which level is your favourite?
Each setting brings with it new targets, opportunities, and storylines. Whether you’re masquerading as a scientist in an underground Sapienza lab, posing as a race car technician at a Miami speedway, or crashing the stock market as a fledgling economist at a New York bank, the world is your weapon.
Not every location has proved a hit with every man (and woman), however. Colorado, with its orchard, is notorious for its hyper-aggressive militia; Isle of Sgàil, despite its James Bond cult-like aesthetic, can also frustrate due to the sheer number of enforcers that patrol its perimeter. Now that the trilogy has concluded, we want to know which setting you reckon is the best.
We’re excluding Sniper Assassin missions from this poll because, while obviously entertaining, they’re an entirely different beast to the traditional stages. Obviously, we’re also focusing on the most recent trilogy of Hitman games, so you can’t vote for the birthday party in Blood Money (although feel free to mention some of your favourites from previous games in the comments).

Can't tell you. I STILL CANT PLAY!!!! No customer support from IO what so ever.
While I haven’t played 3 yet, Paris really is something special as it paved the way for the rest of the trilogy. Especially since it was episodic at that point. After I played that level I was totally hooked and knew that the formula was dead on. The best level in the series is indeed A New Life from Blood Money though!
Despite owning Hitman 1 and 2 for quite a while I've not played that much of it, so I'm now playing the entire trilogy through Hitman 3 and have no other games to distract me 😁.
I have played quite a bit of Hawkes Bay so I'll have to vote for that at the moment but suspect that will change soon
I have a real soft spot for Whittleton Creek but Haven Island wins for me. I am only one level into the new game though.
Making my way through 3. 20+ hours and I just completed Dubai. I love this game. Favourite level would have to be Haven Island.
This poll seems a bit premature. Hitman 3 only released a couple of days ago (with server issues), so there hasn't really been enough time to play the new levels.
Out of Hitman 1 and 2, I'm most keen on Isle of Sgàil. It's a tricky level, but I'm very fond of the stormy castle theme. Plus the cult members there give it a unique feel. Sapienza and Haven Island are also great levels.
People voted for Dartmoor. I was disappointed. By that level. Pretty short it was
Haven't finished 3 yet, but its really hard to judge. I have a soft spot for Whittleton Creek and Sapienza, Miami is great too and not just coming from someone that lives like three hours from there. Its so hard to choose
I’m on Hitman 1 in H3, so I can’t vote, but surprised to see Italy winning. Especially because I think getting rid of the virus is a bit annoying.
Sapienza by a mile for me. It just seemed the most varied and stylish. Bit of early Bond influence i think.
My favourites are probably Sapienza, Paris, and Whittleton Creek.
I don't really like Colorado or Isle of Sgail.
I don't remember by name but the one with a huge hotel where you assassinate a musician, and the racetrack level where you take out a racer and her dad.
@sonicmeerkat These are Bangkok and Miami respectively for you my friend.
Definitely Miami, then Sapienza. Hokkaido was great too.
Surprised Marrakesh and Santa Fortuna aren't polling higher. Marrakesh's "international incident" setting complete with realistically-dense, Glacier-powered crowds of protestors is just so delightfully tense, and Santa Fortuna's narco kingpin compound is among the most satisfying of fortresses to infiltrate and stalk your target.
Bit early to post a poll since each level requires hours and hours to discover everything and the new game just came out which is why there's probably not that many votes for. H3 maps yet.
My favourites:
H1: Sapienza
H2: Haven Island
H3: Chongqing (might be the best in the whole series)
@333pure333 Chongqing definitely deserves more love. I've been to that city too, though potato fries and bacon takeout on the sides of an alley? Really?
Sapienza is master class of level design for all Hitman play styles.
The Carpathian is by far the worst level of all Hitman games.
