Why is this game BAD?

[Shiza Salad]

I've heard many hitman fans saying that this is THE worst game of the series. Why so?

Nah, worst is the first one.

Compare to the original Trilogy & Blood money, Absolution failed to exceed the predecessors in many ways.

Although the World of Assassination trilogy took a lot from this game and improved from it, I guess it wasn't all that bad

As a Hitman game yes disappointing but as a stealth action game a solid 8/10 for me.

All of the other Hitman titles are pretty much completely sandbox. They drop you in a level with little to no instruction, and you have to use traps, ingenuity, and timing to kill your targets. There is a huge focus on player agency, and you can handle the level pretty much however you want. On the other hand, Hitman Absolution is a linear story game. All of the maps work in stages, there are very few clever ways to kill your targets (on missions that don't force you to do it in a specific way) and in a few cases, the target is killed in a cutscene. I really like Absolution, I don't think it's bad. But I don't think it's a good Hitman game.

Also the main drawback of Absolution is weak disguise system. The disguise system is tied with the "Instinct" feature.

You need Instinct to use a disguise in full effect. In higher difficulties Instinct won't regenerate.

When you runout of Instinct, any disguise is useless.

in fact the only hitman game i completed was the new trilogy
