Hitman: Absolution™

NOTE: The game is linear which is not normal for Hitman games as it does not really allow you to freely do whatever you want. I'd only recommend it if you wanna know more about 47's story. The two only good thing in this game is lore (prolly 7/10) and graphics.

An extremely high-quality game, despite the fact that strong hardware does not require extremely attractive mechanisms and having different methods to complete the game and stages.

this game was a wild introduction to the hitman series for me, and honestly, it was a pretty solid experience overall. the game really knows how to make you feel the tension while planning your hits. i loved how you could approach each mission in so many different ways—whether you wanted to be stealthy or just go in guns blazing, there were options for everything.

the story had its ups and downs. there were some parts that really grabbed my attention. overall, hitman absolution was a fun ride and a great intro to the series (i guess it is subjective after all). it definitely left me wanting to explore more of the hitman franchise. if you’re into games where you can get creative with your approach, this one’s worth checking out. 7/10

It's fun enough, but I think previous games were much better.

fire game yk type and um yeah its worth it but contracts dont work so yeah

This is one of the best games I ever played. From the story line to the mechanics and graphics. 100/10.

Really nice story, but I don't understand why Agent 47 has to go around and protect Victoria. He could have just killed Benjamin Travis and gotten it over with by killing Victoria too.

I love this game very much! This game giving me a motivation to become a Hitman in real life. Thank you developer for making this awesome game! MASTERPIECE!

Not a Hitman game in a traditional sense, but fun regardless. Hate the instinct system personally. Glad they removed it in the reboot

Something stank. It's either the archival Greenlandic spread I've dipped my elbow in, or it's me. I crouch behind the shelf of local consumerism and feel that option b is correct. I observe a flickering red-blue light on the walls of the shop. The search began. The atmosphere thickens. Music from wistful strings quickly gives way to majestic brass. The lawmen are coming. The conversation with the salesman is like something out of a movie. The policemen occasionally smile, clear their throats, put the rim of their glasses in their mouths, but in the end they learn nothing. The citizen does not know. He has no idea that the suspect has already exchanged the described jacket for a butcher's uniform. A few more phrases, the promise of a phone call "if anything", one gratis coke and the officers leave. You can't see much through the cans, but judging by the disappearing shadows, I think it worked. The music can turn up again. I feel like a winner who just can't raise his hands. Now to prevent the grocer from going to check the goods. For my scalp would answer him with clear speech.
I'm the Hitman. The man barcode readers love. 30%

The best game in the Hitman game series.
Very nice plot and for such an old game the graphics are great.
The creators of Hitman should make a similar version of the game to this one.

This game is amazing, I love the style! You can be a real silent assassin "47" or choose to kill everyone in order without regret. For me 10/10 game, graphic and story is so good!

Story was nothing to write home about, stealth and gunplay was cool.

Score: 6.5/10

An absolutely amazing game with great story line.

Well, it's been a few hours, but I've played this game before, about 8 yrs ago, so i guess i can review. This has an amazing story, with all the tactics the hitman uses, and the unique opportunities are awesome. Just like all hitman games, this game is awesome, and I have to tell something else as well, I really love the main menu man, that's one of the prettiest ones I've ever seen hehe. Highly recommended.

I honestly HATE this game.
One of my first games was Codename 47. I was a boy and its a game that forged my love for stealth and multiple choice. A franchise know for its solid stealth and disguise mechanics encased in open ended maps with a true difference in your choices.
Absolution boiled away everything that made Hitman stand out from every other franchise, while also doing what it set out to do poorly. It cant even do a linear story well. It does nothing but punish the player with arbitrary scoring with no rewards for those who do wish to get a good score.

I played every hitman game again, to see if the games were as good as i remember and all of them besides Absolution hold up. I was genuinely seething with hated for this price of crap. It was trying to be a Hideo game with token wacky characters but it done nothing but bore me shitless.

** DO NOT BUY THE BUNDLE **

To be honest, having played all of them at this point... NONE of these games are worth it. THE BUNDLE IS A SCAM. THE ONLY things that work in there are Hitman Blood Money and the sniper challenge. EVERY game in the bundle that isn't those 2 doesn't work, you have to jump through hoops to get it to work or (to my surprise now) doesn't work properly. Hell, this game right here? HALF of it's features were pulled offline with the servers or the achievements are bugged and DO NOT unlock under any circumstances making unlocking necessary things impossible.

Just playing this game now, It's no wonder these games are heavily discounted. They're broken trash.

Get this too... Becuase I played the sniper challenge and the one game that worked, they won't refund me. THIS game, I tried over and over and over and over and over TF again to fix the achievement nonsense and it doesn't work.

It's a scam DO NOT buy it.

By the way, this is IF you can even get the games to work. Some of the "fixes" don't actually work for everyone. Roll the dice if you want to, but this is a money-grab.

Last update before I abandon this game...

Achievements are entirely gone, I had to download someone else's save progress onto this game to access all content only to confirm that the achievements in the game are entirely impossible to complete. NOT because the servers are offline, the ones that don't require connection cannot be done.

Want to upgrade weapons? NOPE, that's fully 100% gone due to the servers. This game is a shit-show. Not even just this game though.

Hitman Codename 47, silent assassin, and contracts do not function properly. This one cheats you out of content. the DLC counts as you playing it despite it only being extra content and not a game so it really just leaves Blood Money as the only functional game.

With that being said, be a sucker and purchase this if you want to.

Hitman: Absolution

Final Score: 5/10

Hitman: Absolution is considered by many to be the worst game in the long running Hitman franchise. Instead of big sprawling open maps you are given more linear, smaller maps where combat is most of the time almost unavoidable. Unlike the other Hitman games, Absolution sets its full focus on the story.

To properly review this game, i think you have to look at it this way: It's not an "actual" Hitman game using the formula we know and love, having big maps, clear targets and a dozen ways to accomplish objectives whilst the focus is on stealth and no casualties. Hitman: Absolution tries its best to be a third person action shooter game, whilst also laying the ground work for what would later be the great Hitman Trilogy. So to review this game you have to look at it for what it is: an action shooter game. And not a Hitman game.

Sure, it was always fun in other Hitman titles to go in guns blazing just for the fun of it, but i felt Absolution really encouraged this "John Wick"-type playstyle. It even has some cool features that would be useful for combat in the newer games, like human shields, dual wielding, or a shooting ability called "Instinct shot" which is basically what Deadeye is in Red Dead Redemption. The guns actually feel pretty good in this game. Whenever you shoot someone while undetected, the game gives you a small window in which the game is slowed, allowing for you to plan your next shot or to make sure you don't fumble another shot when you are taking out multiple enemies. I would greatly appreciate this feature in the newer Hitman games since it is quite helpful.

The game tells you that you can also make use of the usual "stealthy Hitman" approach you know and love. However there are a few things which i think makes most players not want to choose to go down this path.

1) Disguises are terrible in Absolution. When you pick up a disguise, everyone, and i mean everyone can see through it almost instantly. You have to use the so called "Instinct" to hide and walk past NPC's without detection. Players of the newer games likely know Instinct; it lets you see all NPC's and their paths and highlights interactable objects. (also something the Hitman Trilogy would benefit from). However in this game it is a resource. It can be empty and then you have practically no way of hiding yourself. You can only refill Instinct by collecting "evidence". Which are small useless files scattered about the maps that have no meaning whatsoever except for filling your Instinct.

2) In some missions i have found it to be almost impossible to sneak past enemies. Especially the hotel levels in Chicago have corridors filled with enemies that will spot you and you can't quite sneak past them.

And all of this for the story. Which is mediocre. While it does have some cool exciting moments, it lacks any sort of message or deeper meaning and only really serves a set up for 47's targets.

Let's go over the story quickly; 47's handler, Diana has gone rogue in order to protect a girl - Victoria, whom the ICA had been running tests on. 47 is sent to kill Diana and does so, only to switch sides and protect Victoria. Victoria gets kidnapped by Dexter, a big Texan running some big industry. 47 goes after them and fights against both ICA and Dexter's men, to in the end, recover Victoria and then kill the ICA guy who is after 47 (i forgot his name, further proving my point of this story being mediocre if i forget the name of a key antagonist so easily...). 47 kills all of them and turns out Diana is still alive and taking care of Victoria again, and 47 is let back into the ICA. ... What's the point of all this? None of these plots and turn are really interesting. And don't forget, this game ditched the original Himan formula for this story. Not to mention 47 is incredibly out of character in this game.

I can sadly not say anything about the Contracts mode since the servers have been shut off by now. From what i heard, it is basically the predecessor to the new Contracts mode in the Hitman Trilogy. Sadly this renders a few achievements unobtainable.

So, long story short; Hitman: Absolution is no classical Hitman game. If you enjoyed the previous or latter games, this one is not for you. If you enjoyed, perhaps GTA's or rather RDR's shootout's with the occasional, rare stealth, then you will like this. Hitman: Absolution is, though lacking in writing, a good action game and can be fun, but it is not a good Hitman game.

Bro, I could not believe the name i was being introduced to on the cinematic intro. Played it 12 years ago. Apparently, Traci Lords is old enough now xDDDDD. 4ucking Kreygasm game

An extremely high-quality game, despite the fact that strong hardware does not require extremely attractive mechanisms and having different methods to complete the game and stages.

Well honestly game is really interactive and you can go loud or sneaky
it is really good my only complaint is that scoring could have been different!

Fantastic! It checks all my boxes for what the Hitman series should have been up till this point.

Great gameplay not a lot of stealth games seem to get it right but this one seems to be a better experiance. The upgrade system is great and I felt the difference with a lot of the upgrades the enemies are pretty smart too the ai doesnt get lost on tangents and lose focus on whats going on just wish 47 could actually have a better hand to hand system like sometimes I just wanted to fight enemies without weapons you know

Отличный сюжет кат сцены. Имбовые механики стелса. Отличная графика но все равно нужен ремастер с rtx. Хитмен как хитмен. Игра интересная и хардкорная. Сам я купил по скидке за 40 рублей - как это может быть не имбой? Дайти стим очки!

"Good luck, 47"

Hitman: Absolution wasn't as bad as people say. It was fun to steal NPC clothes as a disguise and try to blend in. It gives you options on how you want to assassinate your target. The story wasn't the best in the franchise, and the levels might be more linear, but they still give you the freedom to tackle your mission how you want.
In the end, being Agent 47 was fun.

Bald man with a head that has the power of the sun blinds government officials, wins a case against a tin foil hat user, breaks into scientist facility, kills MMA fighter, all while shining like a star in the morning sky.
Recommended. :thumbsup:

5/10

If you look at this game from purely story and graphic perspective, finish mission with one go, it is nice and dynamic it could easily be one of the best games in series.

Sadly, I got three major problems with this thing:
Focus - Poor development decision that replaced skill in quick map reading, peeking behind corners and keyholes with just watching enemies through walls. It is basically eagle vision from Assassins Creed. Still would not be a big issue, it can be used for quick shooting that is great. But it is also used with disguises, making them close to useless, considering focus is depleted pretty fast and without it will enemies spot you almost instantly.

Checkpoints - Manual saves were replaced with checkpoints that needs to be found around level, I am not a fan but OK, Problem is that your game is not saved on them, you will keep only killed targets and equipment. Whole level will reset and not only enemies, also items you interacted, in game challenges could break. It is just a big mess.

[/b]Stealth[/b] - This is supposed to be game mostly about stealth but it is seriously terrible, enemies will spot you when you shot them from behind or it will alert somebody in next room and that counts also for melee takedowns of unaware enemies.

First Hitman title i've tried . Its alright. Story is meh. Gameplay decent. Good to pick up on a good sale.

I don't see why there's so much hate towards this game compared to the other Hitman releases, At least it's the whole game and not a million DLC's like what it's become, for the price it is now, it's well worth the buy and looks pretty damn good for a game that was released in 2012, I recommend it!

its a good game, i get it why many classic players criticised it, the game mechanics this game had\have has made the foundation of the mechanics used in future games like the hitman trilogy, this game is still very good though there are quite some limitations as compared to previous games but its still standing strong it may be the most hated hitman game out there but its still bad ass.

Я что-то проебал поставить тебе палец вверх, когда надо было
Эх абсолюшн, ты и сотой доли того хейта, который на тебя вывалили не заслуживаешь, если б ещё жадные скворечники не поотрубали сервера с контрактами, я бы до сих пор в тебе пропадал неделями
Пасиб за всю поддержку и воспоминания 47ой...

This game is one-dimensional, but the story is somewhat satisfying as the game goes on.

Do not buy unless on like 75% sale though.

hitman but made to be an action game but, it also punishes you for playing it like an action game.
