Hitman: Absolution is tense, violent and atmospheric, and offers excellent replay value with its Contracts mode.Twelve years have gone by since the first part of Hitman was launched, and to celebrate it, its creators in collaboration with the Square Enix development company have created Hitman: Absolution, a new chapter in the adventures of agent 47 where you will have to shed light on the conspiracy against him.Īfter accepting the most dangerous assignment of his life, the main character will be betrayed. 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.
