The sole fact that these maps are as big as they are can get overwhelming, but a huge part of what makes them so fun to play in HITMAN comes from how you're always encouraged to experiment to find creative ways to kill your targets. And these games do such a great job at setting up the targets' backstories so that you'll always find something more to learn about them as you keep exploring the levels.

It's also just fun to come back to most of these areas trying to get a Silent Assassin rank (except for Colorado, which is just agonizing in terms of its difficulty), which makes it so fun. The always-online functionality unfortunately seems to be the biggest downside, but there's a lot of fun to be had nonetheless.
