Paris was great
Sapienza was awesome and is probably the best of the series
Morroco was really enjoyable
Colorado was kind of meh
Thailand took me a while to get into
Hitman (2016) - So, anyone checked it out?

Forgot about Morocco. Decent I guess.

I felt the ending was anticlimatic as the game feels like all set up. Also, there's the fact Erich Soders is a Master Assassin but you don't have to hunt him down and him being hyper-aware. It's kind of a disappointing last boss to the game.

Alright, sweet. I can now consider buying these games in one go. Knowing myself, I'll probably get them in the near future.
Though reviews like this one are painting a very positive picture of Hitman 2016 to me, tempting me to buy them at once...:
Hitman looks like a cautious buy for me.
I want to buy it when it's dirt cheap, but like Super Bunnyhop said, it's Online Only and there's those side stuff which is one try only before it's gone for good.
I want to buy it, but I don't want to support this "Online Only" bullshit for single player games. It's incredibly insulting for the consumer who spent money on it and the developer who spent time making it only for their game to game to be erased from history somewhere down the line.
This kind of shit is worse than Episodic content, which can be good. If episodic games are released cheap and contain little self contained stories that are either just straight-up stand alone or lead to a bigger plot, I'm all for it. It can be good for both the devs and consumer who can send feedback and see what works and what doesn't. It shouldn't work for every game (imagine if Fallout was released in episodes) plus it can help players perfect their gamestyle.
Yeah, I want to buy Hitman (2016), a lot in fact. But I just can't when I think the experience I will play today won't be the same when I play tomorrow.

That is quite the dilemma indeed. The game sounds and seems to be fantastic (and what I would want in a Hitman game since Blood Money) but the online only features and the perma-locked content are quite vexing problems. I guess patient gaming is an option here?
Possibly, hopefully Square will patch it up so it can be played without being Online.

I recommend getting the first episode which comes with two training missions and seeing how you like it. It's probably the only game other than the Witcher 3, though, which exceeded my expectations this year. The Always Online thing is bullshit, though. It's a pain in the ass to start the game and sometimes you're kicked for what I can tell is zero benefit unless you want to make or download contracts.
As for the Elusive Contracts which are "one time only" kills, they're really just random character models surrounded by guards.
Not much missed.

Online only with my connection is a bitch. That is unfortunate as I'm a big fan. Maybe they will release it on disc for cheap one day.

Well, it's available now in physical format.
