Whether you want to leave a pile of bodies in your wake or would rather be one with the shadows, Hitman: Absolution offers up another memorable entry, one that was well worth the wait.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.

Good review. I am guessing he played the game on easy with his complaint of dumb AI and 10 hr campaign. I have yet to play a stealth game where the AI isnt stupid at least some of the time, if not most of the time, so this isnt a shocker to me. It does always feel good to be slightly smarter than your prey on lower difficulty levels.
