There are always several ways to plan out each scenario and it is almost a puzzle to figure it out. The obvious way would be just to pull out your gun or make a big scene to kill your target, but the most satisfying ways are the times you can do it without anyone knowing that you did anything and this is when the gameplay is at it's best. The majority of the levels requires you to assassinate a target, and there are several ways to do this. You can shoot your way through levels, however this is not that satisfying and the real way that Hitman is meant to be played is being stealthy and finding new and cool ways to finish each level.
#Hitman absolution review angry joe how to
The gameplay of Absolution is up to you how to play it, but there is an emphasis on playing the game sneaking around. It gives you a great incentive to stick around in a spot to listen to a 30 second conversation before moving on from that point. Whether it is a chef arguing to a guard about why salt is for barbarians or a group of patrolling guards talk about why they are not going to make it to Carl's birthday party because they have to stand guard, there are many times that I would laugh out loud at these conversations that the characters are having. Dexter's craziness only increases from here making him a menacing and great antagonist.Īlmost every character you meet has something funny to say. Instead of turning 47 in or even capturing him, Dexter kills a maid, puts the knife next to the knocked out 47 so he takes the blame, then lights the room on fire leaving 47 to escape a burning 5-star hotel. He is a really ridiculous character who is introduced by finding 47 and seeing that he is a hitman after him. You find out that a rich cowboy named Blake Dexter wants to kidnap Victoria in order to sell her back to the Agency to make even more money. The story starts off on a serious note but from there it only gets crazier. From this point on, Agent 47 stops working for the Agency and makes it his mission to protect Victoria at all costs. Diana wants you to give her the chance that Agent 47 never had, to be human. There is something about Victoria that makes her special, she was trained and programmed at birth to take the place as the next great Hitman. She makes a dying request for you to watch after a younger girl name Victoria. He starts off on a mission for "The Agency" to kill his former boss, Diana Burnwood. It becomes obvious that if IO Interactive just made some small changes to some of the games most glaring problems that it would be a much better game to play through. That does not mean that the game is without it's own faults. The story is also one of the most ridiculous and funny stories out there too.
