People are overreacting. Absolution is more of a classic/typical stealth game where you have to sneak from point A to B without beeing seen instead of the free-roam sandbox approach of the other games. This might be disappointing for Hitman-only fans, but it is a functional and competent stealth game for fans of the genre with beautiful graphics and a lot of challenges, some of which are very hard and time consuming, but most are fun. They tried to make the game more straight-forward and cinematic and Absolution and Contracts have the best atmosphere out of all of the Hitman games. More morbid and dark compared to the other entries. It is a solid 4 star game imo, -1 because of a few filler missions and strange A.I behaviour, that deserves more love. You should check it out if you are a stealth fan.
12,49€$ for an already overpriced game that lacks depth and content. Slitherine how we know them.
Then please, go ahead and buy it. There are enough reviews, so I'll keep it short. The A.I is cheating to compensate for its stupidity. They can research faster than you will ever be able to and overrun you with stronger units and vehicles, while you are still expanding your city and researching the first out of three tiers. A deal breaker. Everyone should play by the same rules. This feels more like playing against "that guy", who bends the rules after their will. "I am ordering my Baneblade to attack your Killa Kan with its lascannon!" "Well, my Killa Kan has anti lascannon shields *pig laugh*" No thanks. Buy Final Liberation or Sanctus Reach instead, or basically every other 4X game if it HAS to be 4X.
