Another example: in Blood Money, levels are littered with ways to complete your mission. In that broad sense at least, nothing's changed.Ībsolution tells you (albeit cryptically) everything the designers want you to find. Killing targets is mandatory how you do it is up to you. True, a Hitman game that sometimes itches to be something else, and occasionally vomits up bad stealth levels with all the grace of a regurgitating hippo, but a Hitman game nevertheless. It's important to remember this, because while Hitman: Absolution makes sweeping changes to the series, it is still a Hitman game. By the time anyone notices, it's too late - the professional, of course, is long gone, leaving nothing but rumor in his wake. In the target's office, a little rat poison borrowed from the kitchen spices up a tasty chicken baguette.
Disguised, he walks past the guards - even past the target puffing on a disappointing last cigarette. Spots the few seconds where a loop of wire around a convenient neck can replace his trusty black suit with newly pre-owned janitor's overalls.
An amateur might take out a target with a gun in each hand, one bullet spent on every problem. Agent 47 isn't just a killer, he's a professional - a silent assassin from the shine on his head to the genetically engineered code in his bones. At its best, Hitman: Absolution goes like this. By the time anyone notices, it's too late - the professional, of course, is long gone.
