Doom also time-travels in its own way. id's reboot goes a step further than the current wave of remasters and tries to recreate a sensation of gaming, now unreachable through shifts in time and technology. New Doom or, as people are already refusing to call it, Noom, is a great example of an update managing a faithful translation of then into now, despite all the intangible subjectivities by which this process is governed.

Assassin’s Creed Origins – The Crocodile’s Jaws
Once it's all over the identity of your target will be revealed; head to her location and use Senu to pick her out. This mission is easier to do during the day - at night she's in the centre of the compound meaning you'll have more guards to get past, whereas during the day your mark will be out in the open and only have a few guards with her.
