![]() Things go to hell, and eventually the master assassin ends up at odds with former employers, the shadowy Agency.

Hitman: Absolution is the fifth entry in developer IO Interactive’s longstanding stealth-action franchise, and the first since 2006’s Hitman: Blood Money. Fortunately, it’s all the better for it.īut let’s take a step back first. This whole idea of games having to last longer in order to be worthy of a player’s time and money is widespread, and one that Hitman: Absolution follows to a T.

Some-like Call of Duty or Halo-have opted to do this by featuring a deep multiplayer suite, while others-like Skyrim or Borderlands-have chosen to simply pack as much content as they can onto a single disc. Players expect to get a bigger bang for their collective buck now more than ever, a sentiment that has led many game companies to pack as much replay value as they can into their titles. Here’s a simple truth: Modern gamers love longevity.
