Hitman: Absolution

This installment in the Hitman series finds gun-for-hire Agent 47 on the run from the police. Agent 47 is both the hunter and hunted in this installment as he evades the law and carries out his hits as planned.

Gameplay

Players slip inside Agent 47’s signature black suit—and even don his trademark bald-shaved head with a barcode tattoo—to get a firsthand view of his missions. Beyond access to his weapons and persona, players can also absorb his encyclopedic knowledge when they play in Instinct Mode, which helps them decide whom to target, where to hide, and when to strike. If gamers tire of the built-in contracts, they can build their own customized hits, which they can then share with their friends or members of the Hitman community.

Environment

Hitman: Absolution is rendered with detailed, cinematic graphics, hyperrealistic sound effects, and a dramatic score. Beyond this rich presentation, the Hitman world is rife with nuances that let players choose exactly how to carry out each hit; there is no clear-cut path to complete every mission, and gamers must navigate the complicated world on their own.
