I can't quite put my finger on it, but I really, really enjoyed this game. It is completely different in many ways from say - Hitman: Blood Money (which you should definitely play first if you haven't), but I believe most of these changes were either necessary or in good taste. The graphics are a huge improvement, the soundtrack is fantastic, the dialogues are well written and there are tons of goofy easter eggs in the grim setting of Absolution.

Just one little thing. Checkpoints are bugged. There is no other way to play this game than on purist (the highest difficulty).
Picking this difficulty will eliminate checkpoints (that are broken anyway), remove ESP and make the game more pleasant overall. Anyone who gives this game a bad review was probably playing on normal, and complaining about the broken checkpoints or built-in wallhack.

No really, playing on low difficulty is like playing as Charles Xavier from the X-men. The only thing missing is mind control and psychic beams.


Definitely buy this game after you've finished blood money, and Absolution is on sale. Just remember this: there are no glitches on the highest difficulty.
