Hitman: Absolution is more accessible than its predecessors. You'll spend a lot of time hiding and searching for safe routes out of places, and somehow it's not as fun as in this year's Dishonored. There are some things that could have been improved - stealing clothes from bodies is poorly animated, for example. A smooth cover system has been added, which makes creeping around feel much more natural, and shootouts a fairer fight. It looks great, the crowd scenes are some of the best we've ever seen, and is accompanied by an excellent soundtrack. Don't worry though, Hitman: Absolution isn't stuck in the past. It's been six years since the last Hitman game, and games have changed considerably in the meantime.
