Discreto capitolo. La soundtrack del bar ce l'ho ancora in testa.
The fact this is what closes the original series is depressing. Everything about this game is trash. The storyline is a dumpsterfire. Clearly made the way it was to pander to the most casual of audiences in the most cringe ways. It also doesn't make sense in a lot of ways because the story retcons a lot of previous events.
The gameplay here is lacking in every single way you can think of. There's maybe two levels I personally enjoyed and the reason I enjoyed said levels is because they were like a short glimpse of hope for this pile of shit game. Said levels were similar to the classics, and that's what made me like them. Though, the issue with these levels is the fact that they're still overly restrictive.
I did not expect to replay this and dislike it so much, but this is currently tied with CN47 for my least favorite entry in the series. I have yet to play the reboot series (I have to buy them still) but hopefully those are actually good. This however, is a disappointing mess and I will most likely never play it again.

Hitman: Absolution is a solid stealth game, but it does feel a bit different than other games in the series. The disguises are sometimes unreliable, and levels are more linear, which kinda limits that open-ended Hitman feel. That said, the story is surprisingly thrilling, and there's still plenty of creative ways to get your assassinations done. It's a good game, especially if you're new to the series, but hardcore fans might miss some of the classic Hitman sandbox elements.
