Hitman: Absolution is a game that fans of the series will either love or hate. It takes a much different approach compared to most other games in the series. It has more of a focus of story and linear gameplay, instead of being the traditional open sandbox with some light story elements.

- Gameplay isn't perfect, but it's enjoyable.
- Solid graphics and art style.
- Maps are small, but solid.
- Great easter eggs.
- Decent music.

- Although the story isn't particularly good, it's very weird and can be enjoyable at times. There's plenty of bad writing. Lots of plot holes and other issues. However, many moments are 'so bad it's good.'

- It doesn't play like a traditional Hitman game. This isn't the open stealth experience some fans may be expecting.
- Much more limited and linear compared to the earlier (and even later) games in the series.
- Online servers have been taken offline, making modes like Contracts unplayable.
- Some impossible achievements due to servers being offline.

Hitman: Absolution is weird. It's essentially a linear action game with a Kojima inspired plot and a Hitman skin on top of it. It's an odd game and is unlikely to please hardcore fans. However, despite it's many issues, I like it.
7/10
