#HITMAN ABSOLUTION ELITE EDITION REVIEW SERIES#
This new trilogy takes a step back and evolves the series in a different way. The prior game, Hitman Absolution, attempted to refine Hitman but was ultimately held back by a linear structure that acted at odds with what people loved about the franchise. Even the very few weak levels contain some fantastic narratives for you to indulge yourself in.įor those that have played the older Hitman games, it’s interesting to note that Hitman World of Assassination seems like a refinement of the old formula for modern standards. From a mafia leader producing a special virus in this secret lab underneath his mansion to a medieval mansion hosting an Eyes Wide Shut style gathering of the illuminati inspired Providence, each one feels unique and believable in its own silly over-the-top way. The story starts out well as you start to learn the connection between your different assassination targets, but then gets rather tiresome after that.įortunately though, the individual missions are some of the best in terms of lore and setting, with some truly reprehensible targets to eleminate. Hitman World of Assassination is no real exception, unfortunately, as this tale of intrigue follows many of the standard tropes for the series as you take on contracts from the mysterious Shadow Client, only to inevitably get betrayed about a dozen times.
