Players complete chapters in order to progress through the story. There are also environmental ways to kill or distract individuals players can use poison to spike coffee, pull switches to make a disco ball fall and break, cause a massive explosion at a gas station, pull a switch to cause scaffolding to fall down, cause fires, or set off fireworks. Agent 47 also has the 'Instinct' ability that lets the player monitor enemies more easily. Players may use pistols, bottles or bricks, assault rifles, shotguns, fiber-wire, or steel pipe against enemies if opting for the action-oriented approach, or avoid enemies altogether, not being seen, using disguises, blending into the environment, and only attacking the set target (s), if using the stealth-oriented approach. Players choose how to complete each level, taking branching paths to get to a target or location. Objectives can range from simply reaching the end of the level, to killing specific individuals. Presented from a third-person perspective, the gameplay centers around completing set objectives within a series of levels. It's tense, violent and atmospheric, and offers excellent replay value with its Contracts mode.Hitman: Absolution is a stealth video game in which the player assumes the role of a hitman named Agent 47.
Hitman: Absolution is a worthy entry in the series. With Dishonored, Assassin's Creed 3 and now Hitman: Absolution, there is excellent choice! This social aspect should give Hitman: Absolution a long life, assuming enough fans keep making new contracts.Ģ012 is a great year for would be assassin's. 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 in this year's 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 a fairer fight. It looks great, the crowd scenes are some of the best we've ever seen, and is accompanied by an excellent soundtrack. Don't worry though, Hitman: Absolution isn't stuck in the past. It's been six years since the last Hitman game, and games have changed considerably in the meantime.
