Things go to hell, and eventually the master assassin ends up at odds with former employers, the shadowy Agency. Originally tasked with assassinating a former colleague and close friend, 47 soon finds out that the hit isn’t quite what it seemed. Players will once again control the bald killing wonder that is Agent 47, as this time out sees him on a quest for revenge, redemption, and, you guessed it, absolution.Ībsolution’s narrative is more or less typical Hitman fare-dark, violent, and often ridiculous. 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.
And let’s not forget this generation’s massive spike in DLC either. 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.
