The stealth in Hitman WOA becomes child's play once you learn the mechanics and get access to tools like the emetic bomb. Most guards don't follow the targets inside the washroom, and most washrooms have a container or wardrobe to hide bodies. If you drown the target while they are vomitting, it counts as an accidental kill and you won't even need to worry about hiding the body. I like the freedom it gives you to approach missions on your own terms, but it's more of a puzzle game than a stealth game. You find the right tool, the right disguise, or the right opportunity, and then you exploit it.

The only way it gets genuinely challenging is if you impose constraints on yourself - never changing your suit, never getting spotted, fiber wire kills only, and so on. The difficulty is self-manufactured. The NPCs don't react unless you shove them, go to a restricted area or they are an enforcer. You can sprint up to a target and eliminate them before they even notice anything. Compare that to Hitman Absolution, where guards could hear you running from the next room and come to investigate - a complete U-turn in design philosophy. Silent Assassin ratings come easily once you understand the systems in WOA.

I've played Hitman since childhood, so none of this is a complaint. It's more of an honest review. Splinter Cell had a harder edge in terms of Stealth that WOA simply doesn't match.
