Hitman: Absolution - is an action-adventure game with an emphasis on stealth.

The main character is a professional killer, Agent 47, who fulfills contracts for the physical elimination of people. To do his job well, he must carefully study his victims in order to eliminate them as silently and inconspicuously as possible. It is desirable that the consequences of his work have the appearance of an accident.

Each mission in the game consists of several stages that bring the player closer to the main victim. At these stages, you will have to eliminate the henchmen of the victim to facilitate the achievement of the main goal.

In addition to ordinary and silent weapons, the main character can use sleeping pills. Victims can also be eliminated by arranging "accidents". Agent 47 can disguise himself by dressing up as merchants, law enforcement officers and other people. However, no disguise allows you to move around the game world with confidence. In many cases, enemies are able to expose disguises.

Among other things, the main character can use the so-called "instinct", which allows you to guess what is happening behind the wall, as well as slow down time for a quick series of well-aimed shots.
