WC - Amidst the Xmas-list certainties of titles such as Halo 4, Black Ops 2 and Assassin’s Creed 3, Hitman: Absolution has its work cut-out to make this long time coming sequel a hit, man…
And that’s where the problems start.
I’ve played the aforementioned games and enjoyed them: whilst all have flaws they are for the most part, excellent games, they also succeed at delivering to their target market. Hitman however, suffers from a failure to achieve coherence in its primary goal of stealth.
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.
This is a bad review. The playthrough was done on Normal or easy. Playing this game on hard required patience and coordination to not get shot up. There were times when stealth was not an option or at least I couldn't find one and guns were a'blazing but this game was fantastic.
I'm all for different opinions but when you play a game on normal or Easy you have no purpose writing a review for a game like this.
