RandomMan5000 from Plus XP writes "Having waited 6 years since the last Hitman game I couldn’t wait to step back into the shoes of the man who is in my opinion the most dangerous assassin on the planet. In Hitman Absolution we join Agent 47 as he embarks on his latest mission and once again the stakes couldn’t be any higher.
Absolution starts by filling you in on the events which occurred prior to the start of the game. Agent 47 reveals that Diana, who some of you may know from the previous Hitman titles has sabotaged the Agency. This has cost the agency not only many of their agents, but also a lot of money as well as a girl that they had been holding. Due to her actions a kill order has now been issued for Diana, with orders that the captured girl must taken back. Unsurprisingly the person who has been given the contract is none other than Agent 47. This sequence is not only a great way of introducing you to the game, but it also shows you little snippits of the future gameplay."
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.
