"With absolution being part of the title, I feel it’s only right that I begin this review with a confession; I’ve never played a Hitman game before. Never, ever. Not properly anyway; I played a free demo once upon a time, but I can’t even be sure what console it was on, so my knowledge of just who Agent 47 actually is, or what he gets up to is a big fat zero. Nevertheless I dived in any way – it’s called Hitman: Absolution, right? The guy is a contract killer, so the game will probably involve killing people for money, and some how there’s going to be some absolution thrown in along the way."
Feral Interactive will release IO Interactive-developed stealth action game Hitman: Absolution for Switch on November 13 for $29.99 / £19.99 / €24.99, the developer announced.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
I like this game a lot. I miss some of the more appealing levels in the other hitman games, but they did a nice job.
My only complaint is the cover system is too sticky. You should be able to move into and out of cover a bit more easier.
4/5 for me and I hope they release some fun DLC maps.
