a5c7b9f00b When Agent 47 joins the ICA to hunt down threats to mankind, he is also pulled into a game of Cat and Mouse against a mysterious organization that is determined to stop him. All the while he is being stalked by someone from his past.
Agent 47 is back, and he's in his prime. In this game, 47 is back with the ICA, and is hired to take down targets globally with larger maps, more disguises, and more options to kill your target. While going after a contract, 47 gets caught up in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, when a fashion designer is revealed to be the head of an intricate spy syndicate known as IAGO. The designer, Viktor Novikov, threatens to release the names of several FBI, and NSA agents at a private auction to the highest bidder. 47 must pull out all the stops in order to cripple IAGO and kill Novikov.
The more "mainstream" last game somewhat divided the community, it's not my favorite entry either, but the negativity is a bit overblown. It certainly proved to be a clear stepping stone for this refresh of the series. The old canon still stands btw. but I noticed that a few of the targets aren't "evil", which was nearly always the case in previous games. The game is a bit more "goofy" too and could easily be reworked as a spy caper. The story is less focused on this time around, not that Hit-man games ever managed to tell a good one, but this tale is overall fine. The main selling point is obviously the finely tuned gameplay and the levels are now more open than ever. The huge crowds are another plus and now feel less of a gimmick. The game is actually a huge technical accomplishment, outside of the again janky animations, and the levels all feature astonish attention to detail. The levels may even be a bit too huge and I would have broken some of them into 2 separate ones. I understand that the developers want the player to replay them multiple times, with changing conditions but less is sometimes more. The way the game locks away the new weekly targets after that very week is clearer misstep. Especially as you only get 1 try but the high amount of user created level remixes somewhat makes up for that. There is a lot of content to be enjoyed in this first "season" and playing though the game over 2 days felt like binge watching a Netflix show. I have full trust in the developers to deliver another quality follow-up and the retail version of the game is the best Hit-man entry yet. I just hope that the "Bonus Episodes" will rely on more levels, as Sapienza now ended up having 3 separate missions assigned to it. The game is lastly a great entry point to the series. 9/10
First off there is no difficulty so you get what you have, also i have played Absolution close to 100 times and enjoyed it so much, in this one you barely get a story, the auto aim is awful, it aims way past the target. The way to select your weapons is crap and you die after 2 gun shot which makes the game even more frustrating...........................<br/><br/>If you are a casual gamer or expecting a fun story like absolution think again this is not it, its a huge step backward, good thing i paid only half price for it.
