THE PLOT A game that was born out of the concept of slipping through unnoticed, Well, what can I say about Hitman: Absolution doing exactly the opposite! This game today is standing evidently amongst the most engaging modern shooters. Talking about the game itself… It is a slow- paced, single- player focussed snitch and run. Absolution barely cares for the overly timid, their minds turned gloomy and flaccid over years of being nudged through corridors blowin’ up anything that respires. It is a game that wants you to remember that ‘Trial & Error’ when done right sums up

to satisfaction rather than frustration! A game that needs you to be experimental with it, drifting it apart from the monotonous shooter games you have graphically been a part of. It needs you to spend time inside it, excavating your way into it. You can execute your targets in a number of extremely sickening different ways. The variations in the means to kill your opponent in the classic Hitman style is an indication to all the gone astray Hitman fans to return home! A game with measured experience: a lot more organic and a lot less stiff.

The Good Absolution looks its best when it is at its busiest; while you’re stringing your way through the game’s dense mobs. Also, the levels are well clad and the cutscenes are indeed well- produced.

The Bad Unfortunately, there’s a bit too much lighting, especially when harsh light begins to gleam off 47’s cue ball bounce. Frankly speaking, nothing that bright that’ll have you dropkicking the disc down your driveway in disgust.
