73.) Hitman 1&2 (2016 and 2018, PS4)

Borrowing from nick's playbook I am combining the two modern Hitman games - which are essentially the same game - into one big writeup. This is the first game where the episodic nature of its release really helped to enhance the product. The strength of Hitman as a game is the open-ended nature of the prompt. Every level has the same sort of growth to it. You learn first HOW to play the level and what its features are and then a find a way to execute your goals. If you're anything like me your first time through is bloody, messy and very obvious.

But since you got to spend some time with each level - without even the option of advancing to the next level yet thanks to the subscription model - you got a chance to savor the way each level was crafted and find all the various ways to crack it open. They even occasionally have special events in the levels that have to be solved differently because the new targets don't behave like the standard ones.

Amongst modern AAA games there is really just nothing like Hitman in terms of its scope and its attention to detail.
