Critic reviews
- Impulse Gamer7.6Overall Hitman Absolution is a solid addition to the Nintendo Switch library and whilst it may not be for all the die hard Hitman fans there is enough there for portable fans to enjoy.
- COGconnected8.5Absolution is not flawless as the AI has some occasional odd issues and portions of the mission design can be questionable. The narrative also struggles a bit at the end too, leaving some storyline gaps that could use some conclusion. All in all however, Hitman: Absolution is a technically sound title that brings back what players fell in love with in the first place, while simultaneously bringing forward new mechanics that work in harmony with the old.
- Push Square8.0Hitman: Absolution represents a stellar return for Agent 47, incorporating the best elements from previous titles, while also experimenting with plenty of new ideas. Some of the additions are a little rough around the edges – the narrative stumbles over its ridiculous characters, and the checkpoint system discourages experimentation – but it's still a refreshing experience that challenges your thinking and rewards perfection.
- Game Revolution9.0If you're new to the series, there's plenty of warm water here to sink into, but franchise stalwarts need not worry. Agent 47 is as cunning, deadly, and silent as you want him to be; it just so happens that purist players will also be the most rewarded. Regardless your level of experience, Hitman: Absolution scratches a very specific itch, one that involves a butterfly knife or possibly an accidental electrocution.
- Attack of the Fanboy8.0Hitman: Absolution is a game that going to require you to forgive it at times. It’s a shame that for a franchise that’s been gone so long, it’s return is marred with problems. There really are some beautiful in-game cinematic moments in Absolution, coupled with some of the most ambitious stealth/puzzle gameplay that we’ve ever seen. If you have a high tolerance for bugs and can laugh off the stupid AI and other problems, you’ll likley enjoy Absolution immensely. If you’re looking for perfection, you won’t find it here.
Gamer reviews
Best game ever
Best game ever
The story is very linear and while you do have some space to explore it is very limited. Disguises don't keep you from being discovered by those with the same uniform and if you want to hide from them while walking, you need to use your instinct which slowly recovers when you knock out or kill people. The multi-kill function seems pointless cause I only used it during the tutorial and if used incorrectly, it just alerts a lot of guards.
this game is legit
Easiest of all in the series. Every level (chapter / episode) is well explained and straight forward like any other linear game. Recommended for casual gamers who wants to get a taste of HITMAN series or wants some good stealth experience.
Not the best but it was fun to play!
