I gotta say I really enjoyed it, taking out the heads of the deep state felt fucking awesome and the dark middle section really reminded me of Contracts (probably not a coincidence either lol). Berlin is probably my favorite level in the entire series only rivaled by Paris and Sapienza from the first game of the trilogy.
edit: also the new lighting looks good as fuck even on my old shitty pc
(sorry wall of text incoming; I'm also not trying to own you or something)
alright Hitman 2016 targets:
Paris: Russian oligarch and his Israeli superspy girlfriend
Sapienza: two bioengineers designing a supervirus
Marrakesh: Swedish banker who defrauded the Moroccan people and a right wing general who wants to do a coup
Bangkok: Jared Leto who killed his GF and the fixer who cheated him out of a sentence
Colorado: Now these targets are mostly bullshit. The torturer and the recently "turned" fed I'd see people not minding but a former member of the Tamil Tigers and an ecoterrorist just don't feel right, I see where you're coming from.
Hokkaido: A high level Yakuza lawyer and the prick who sold out the ICA standards of neutrality. Not that the ICA are good guys, but it's what makes sense in the story so far.
I don't see that many activists in there. The trilogy later lets you take out the heads of the descendants of war profiteers and media capitalists.

oh the bangkok mission gives you more than enough evidence that he murdered his girlfriend, you can even push him to do something similar in one of the mission opportunities. and the new york mission doesnt require you to even interact with the journalist, i didnt even notice her on my first playthrough lol. all i'm saying is that the sandbox these new hitman games give you can be extremely satisfying and often times you dont have to feel bad in the slightest about whose dipshit head you dropped a toilet on because these games are also incredibly funny
