Linear, more story-focused, still great

Hitman: Absolution uses a considerably different formula compared to other Hitman games. It is extremely story-driven, unlike other Hitman games where each mission are loosely-connected contracts on separate targets. The levels are linear, and the only targets are people connected to the abduction of a girl 47 must protect. While many people don't really seem to like this, it does in a way makes this game different from other Hitman titles. The gameplay remains the same, using stealth, disguises, and strategy. While most fans seem to dislike a linear story-driven Hitman game, I think it's great. The story is pretty thrilling, and the game hires some big-name actors for the characters. If you're going to play this game, play on NORMAL difficulty at least. The Easy difficulty doesn't track challenges. The bad things about the gameplay are the save system and disguises. Instead of manual saving, Absolution uses checkpoints and stages in every level. Checkpoints are only usable once per session, and if you KO or killed a non-target enemy then reload a checkpoint, they respawn. Luckily, each stage is usually pretty short, but still annoying how restarting means redoing lots of things again. NPCs with the same disguise as you can detect you, and you have to hide or trick them. Another thing is that the Contracts mode, in which you can create and share contracts, are removed from this version since the servers were shut down. The story mode is still playable from start to finish, so honestly it's not really an issue unless you want this game simply because you like creating missions.

Hitman: Absolution

[Overview] Hitman: Absolution is a game that fans of the series will either love or hate. It takes a much different approach compared to most other games in the series. It has more of a focus of story and linear gameplay, instead of being the traditional open sandbox with some light story elements. [Positives] - Gameplay isn't perfect, but it's enjoyable. - Solid graphics and art style. - Maps are small, but solid. - Great easter eggs. - Decent music. [Mixed] - Although the story isn't particularly good, it's very weird and can be enjoyable at times. There's plenty of bad writing. Lots of plot holes and other issues. However, many moments are 'so bad it's good.' [Negatives] - It doesn't play like a traditional Hitman game. This isn't the open stealth experience some fans may be expecting. - Much more limited and linear compared to the earlier (and even later) games in the series. - Online servers have been taken offline, making modes like Contracts unplayable. - Some impossible achievements due to servers being offline. (GOG version does not include achievements at all) [Conclusion] Hitman: Absolution is weird. It's essentially a linear action game with a Kojima inspired plot and a Hitman skin on top of it. It's an odd game and is unlikely to please hardcore fans. However, despite it's many issues, I like it. 7/10

Good Game | Bad Hitman

Look, I'll put it this way, if this was the first Hitman game you ever played (Like me), then you will have a hell of a time with this one, it's a very solid game, like, there's nothing to complain here technical wise or graphics wise. This game holds up on those areas pretty well. The problem was halfway through this game that I decided to play the older and newer Hitman games to see why fans despise this game. And I get it, I really do. The game is linear, and even for a first time Hitman player, this game felt extremely linear (Except on that one mission with the 3 redneck dudes at Hope County, that mission is cool). Now, I do like the gameplay, in a way it very much has the same mechanics as any other Hitman, but it lacks any explorable levels in which you can take targets multiple ways, there are levels that can be exceptions, but most of the time it fails to deliver the idea of what Hitman is, an open world where you can kill your targets in the most ridiculous and creative ways possible if desired, but it fails to deliver it so. Now, If you completely move away from this idea, the game is very good, you'll have a hell of a time, just don't do what I did and played halfway through the game the other Hitman games and realize how shallow in comparison this feels. I then felt the need to just complete the game out of respect for it. The story is ok, don't really want to touch on it because I don't have much to say, I like the style, maybe some parts are a little ridiculous but I find them charming and entertaining and I like the idea of redemption in some way for 47. So my conclusion to this game is this: I recommend it for first time Hitman players, as I think this game serves more of a proper introduction to the real stealth of Hitman games in the other titles, especially the new ones, those are amazing. If you're a fan of Hitman who wants to own all the games, play it, you may not like it but it ain't that bad either. 3/5 Good game | Bad Hitman

Decent game, bad Hitman game

A major change from previous installments is the disguise system. Now, wearing an outfit you will be recognized by someone of the same profession. While it's an interesting addition it makes disguises much less useful. Furthermore, on many occasions you start a level with guards/police already on high alert. This forces you to do much more sneaking. Often, the best way to advance is to throw random stuff to distract guards and eliminate them one by one which is repetitive, and if you make a mistake you have to start over. There are no saves in this game only checkpoints which have an annoying bug - if you start from a checkpoint the level is reset - all guards you subdued are back, negating your progress. The levels are much more lively. NPC chat with each other and I often stopped just to listen to some of their dialogue. This is a welcome change, though I missed the ominous silence of the earlier games. Some of the climate is lost. Graphics deserve a praise. Locations are detailed, textures are high quality, shadows and lighting make o great impression. Unfortunately, levels are much more linear and often don't provide alternative methods to approach your targets. The plot is very dumb. An affluent weapons manufacturer gets into troublesome and dangerous affairs only to demand measly $10 million ransom? A group of latex-clad nuns in stiletto boots working as assassins? The hitman agency deploying a small army? If you're new to the series - add 1 star to this review.

It's just all wrong

I thought Absolution was pretty bad. The story, the characters, the mechanics, the level design, even the music - it was all wrong. There were a few rare moments when everything clicked together and for a while there I felt like I was playing a worthy sequel to Blood Money, but it happened twice in the entire game? Maybe three times? In fact, the Contracts mode felt the most like Hitman, overall. To me, this game is like a high-budget, star-filled Hollywood remake of a classic film that never needed a remake in the first place. So instead of Blood Money 2 we got more of a Michael Bay's Hitman. But at least David Bateson is still the voice of 47.
