Hitman: Absolution
The sharply dressed assassin is awarded with:
‘Baldest main character’
‘Best assassin’
‘Most intense stealth game’
‘Most atmospheric levels’
‘Most knock-outs by plunger’
Hitman: Absolution snuck past my expectations in every department and proudly ranks among the top games of the PS3/360 generation.
Compared to it’s predecessors Absolution’s level structure is probably the biggest change. Separated missions are replaced by one big ride and this is sometimes a well-executed change and sometimes a little random in it’s twists. However, things never get boring and the levels are more atmospheric than ever.
This is a game that shines in higher difficulties where you can really immerse yourself in the role of a professional who gets the job done on his own and in his own way. You’re the mastermind of the assassinations, finding your own solutions and opportunities and the game simply let’s you get creative. Snipe the target from the window? Poison the target’s food? Throw him off the balcony? Pitch a fire axe to the face? You name it, it’s possible. And often glorious.
One of my favourite moments, part 1: hide as a samurai armour on display:

Part 2:

And I love how the game pushes your senses as you stumble across your target while planning and makes you decide: screw the plan and go for it? Or play it cool and bide your time? I loved those panicky moments, rushing to hide a body you hadn’t planned where to hide it beforehand. Such a thrill, so tense.
I’m looking forward to putting on the infamous red tie again for a rerun.
