Disappointed about the sound quality

The cutscenes in the GOG version are in MONO and too loud/compressed. In the Steam version they are in stereo. I contacted the support about this a long time ago, but I'm still waiting for it to be fixed. They confirmed that it's just not my hardware - the problem lies in the game itself. So, if you're interested about the original sound quality, I suggest you to get this game from somewhere else.

A Failure to Execute a Concept

Imagine going through a shitty stealth level, with your objective being to assassinate someone. At the end of that level, often in the later half (or any missions besides like 3 of them), 47 kills the target in a cutscene. Did these fucking retards forget what kind of game they were making? They improved the AI, the shooting, the graphics, only for the most important part of the mission to be handled out of the game. You really want to shoot that target, you want to open that Splinter Cell auto-targeting system and pump him full of lead? You want to choke him to death? You want to electrocute him? Toss him off a roof? Stab him until he's leaking like an sieve? You can't! You have to watch this shitty cutscene of the Silent Assassin doing the most mediocre killing possible! How do you fuck up the execution like that? There's no point in replaying it if you can't even choose how to kill them! I wouldn't even be writting this review if it wasn't for that! If you could at least have a choice about how your target dies I could probably excuse a lot about the game. Or just ignore it and move on with my life. The pornography grade story isn't even worth talking about. Oh yeah, the stealth is absurdly terrible. The Instinct mechanic was a poorly thought out and poorly executed idea. If you want to stay in disguse you have to use mana to do it. You might as well just stay in your suit and play it more like Metal Gear or Splinter Cell. I got this for free and I feel like that was too much money. Even if you are interested in a more action oriented stealth game or something more similar to Splinter Cell, you're better off looking elsewhere. I think if they wanted to make a linear action/sneaky game there is totally an audience for it. But not allowing you to kill your target in a Hitman game yourself is not acceptable, do not buy this game. tl;dr: This is a Hitman game that doesn't let you be a Hitman!

Hitman Absolution

Note: I played this game on Steam. Let me start by saying; yes, compared to the previous versions of Hitman the narrative is not as good, that said it only bothered me a couple of minutes at the start of the game though. It has more to offer. Re- playability for one. Looking at the graphics and the rest of the game, it is a real sandbox were anything can happen, and there are a lot of things to try, all with a different outcome for that mission. It is as they say: "The world is your weapon". Maybe not the best in it's series. All in all still a very decent game. If the story was more compelling and had better voice acting I would give it 5 stars.

Horrible Game Design.

First of all, the plot is utter nonsense, this wouldn't be a problem in previous games where the story usually took a backset, but Absolution makes the mistake of putting the story front and center. The story it wants to tell also isn't about assassination, forcing itself to constantly find excuses why Hitman needs to kill someone, by the end of the game it simply gives up, with some targets being blatant diversions that make no sense whatsoever. The maps design is terrible, almost gone are the mansions, compounds and other various open-ended maps that rewarded exploration and deliberate stealth, substituted by artificial corridors so constricted they wouldn't be out of place on a PS1 action shooter. This forces you to take one approach towards completing a stage that its developer pre-planned for you and simply try until you pull it off, its repetitive, grading and worst of all, boring. One would think these changes point towards the game being more of a third-person shooter than a stealth game, problem is, the shooting aspect of the game is poor as well. The AI's reaction time is glacial, it routinely makes absurd decisions, such as taking a light jog to the farthest piece of cover using a route that puts itself straight into your line of fire, the camera was designed with stealth in mind, with a narrow FOV that makes it hard to aim from target to target. The most frustrating aspect of it all is that all these problems could have been avoided, Absolution feels like a game that was made bad on purpose.

Good enough gameplay but mediocre story.

FInished this game long ago actually but I thought I should review this game. This is the first Hitman I played since the very first one in the franchise. While I appreciate this as it is, after having played Hitman: Blood Money, an older game, I have come to realise why I felt lacking after playing Absolution. The older games were more focused in stealth, disguise, and silent kills. Whereas, Absolution seems to have gotten what I call "Modern Warfare-itis". This game was released after the success of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a fast-paced action packed first-person shooter with an intriguing story narrative. And it's clear that Hitman: Absolution tried to incorporate the fast paced action, but the gameplay design hasn't fit well and the story is standard conspiracy that doesn't pique your curiosity and intrigue. I will not summarise what the story is in this review, and I don't think I need to for said reasons, but I believe the developers cornered themselves with trying to have a dramatic story. This resulted in having a gameplay that doesn't jive well with the original spirit of the Hitman franchise. The game and level designs became too linear and focused too much on action. I liked the idea of Agent 47 being hunted down this time, but the developers in turn put the protagonist onto a corner. You are not exactly encouraged to experiment with various fun ways to kill a target, unlike in the older games. I still enjoyed the game, it has engaging enough but rather bland story. However, the level design and gameplay dosn't feel interactive and engaging enough to make you repeat the levels. As of this review, I am completing Hitman: Blood Money, but that game has really excellent game design compared to Absolution. You are encouraged to experiment more with different ways to kill a target in Blood Money than in Absolution. Play the game if you want, but this will not be everyone's cup of tea.
