Adam from Awesome Games writes: 'Stepping into the polished shoes of a suited sociopath – or psychopath, depending on your chosen play style – is one of the few twisted treats that video games like Hitman: Absolution can provide. And, even though gamers have been joyously killing all manner of creatures and creations ever since Mario sprung into the air and squished his very first Goomba, few deliver the delight of death as effectively and as originally as Io Interactive’s Hitman series.'
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.
Saying it's unsuited to stealth is ridiculous when I have gone through every single episode now without detection and I'm an average gamer.
