Hitman Absolution follows Agent 47 after he is betrayed by the Agency he once worked for. Hunted by both the police and former employers, he travels through locations such as Chicago while protecting a young girl named Victoria. Each level offers several ways to reach a target, using disguises, distractions and hiding spots, and the Instinct ability lets you see through walls and blend in when spotted.
It is a single-player stealth action game with a strong story and a more linear structure than other entries in the series. You can play cautiously or go loud, and score depends on how cleanly you work. Hitman Absolution suits players who like stealth with a cinematic campaign.
