While a job may be finished with a single, split-second shot, a great deal of preparation often must come first. Following the breakthrough success of the PC original Codename 47 and the mainstream popularity of its cross-platform sequel Silent Assassin, this third title in the Hitman series is designed to refine the stealth-action control scheme and revamp the graphical presentation, while maintaining the tradition of dark, morally ambivalent storytelling that has shown the efficient, mysterious protagonist to be much more than a mindless trigger-jockey.Īs in the earlier games, a large part of the Hitman's work is in gaining the needed understanding about his target and surroundings.
Hitman: Absolution is tense, violent and atmospheric, and offers excellent replay value with its Contracts mode.Resume the role of cold contract killer Agent 47 and arm yourself for new ventures of meticulous planning and expert execution. This social aspect should give Hitman: Absolution a long life, assuming enough fans keep making new contracts. Once you're done, other people will be able to play your Contract. You play through the level, 'designing' with your actions. This allows you to choose a level and weapons, and define the targets for you and other players too. The difficulty settings mean more casual gamers will be able to enjoy it, while harder settings will satisfy people who want a challenge.Ĭontract mode is a great new development.
Hitman: Absolution is more accessible than its predecessors. You'll spend a lot of time hiding and searching for safe routes out of places, and somehow it's not as fun as Dishonored. There are some things that could have been improved: stealing clothes from bodies is poorly animated, for example. A smooth cover system has been added, which makes creeping around feel much more natural, and shootouts are a fairer fight. It looks great, the crowd scenes are superb, and it's accompanied by an excellent soundtrack. Hitman: Absolution isn't stuck in the past. Hitman Absolution came almost 6 years after the last Hitman game in the series but it doesn't feel dated.
