Analysis of the problem
If you have unlocked any Play Styles in Prologue you will not be able to unlock this achievement (cause it's buggy :(). I saw that people on PS3 and XBOX were deleting saves and redoing the campaign to get it so I asked myself "Is it possible on PC?". Yes, it is. It's even better.
Fixing the problem
1. Go to your Steam\userdata\911588\205930\remote and CUT those files elsewhere (CUT, not DELETE, you will need those later!)


2. Download save file from here the location under one of the below links. Savegame is not mine, credit for this savegame goes to "bigsmoke" who is administrator of the http://www.savemygame.fr/. This savegame contains every level in game, so you can swap levels/sections where it is possible to get specific playstyles.

or alternatively a Dropbox link created by me just in case first link ceases to exist:

QUESTION. BUT WHY DOWNLOAD? If you cut your old files game should recreate the basic, new game file.

WRONG.Game's buggy as hell, it just won't. It'll say that files are corrupted and you can choose between overwriting and not saving but it just won't overwrite. It sucks. Just download the save and paste it in the same folder.

3. Disable the cloud. Go to your Steam Library > RMB on Hitman:Absolution > Properties > Updates > Tick off the cloud option at the bottom > OK


4. Run the game and get all Play Styles on maps you like (EXCEPT PROLOUGE) :) After you get the achievement just go back to the "remote" folder, delete save files and paste your old save files. You should now have the achievement and the old save files. And don't forget to turn Cloud Sync back on :)
Final statement
I hope I have helped you. Let me know what you think about my guide by posting a comment.
