May not be one of the best. A good way to introduce the franchise to the newcomers.
The aspect that capture me the most is the gameplay. You don't have to fulfill any condition in order to kill your target. You can kill with just anything by any means necessary. This I think a unique aspect for this game. The new Instinct ability is fun and exciting to use when especially when point shooting at your enemy. I feel such a bad ass as I shoot 5 enemies in a row. Awesome moment that time!
True most of the fans doesn't agree with the idea of 47 becoming emotional and transparent but I think this game is trying to convey the other side of 47. To be honest I also don't like the idea and it makes him look weak in that sense. Not so cold blooded anymore.
Absolution is a decent game with its unique features and gameplay. It may not be one the best in the Hitman franchise but it does give something to enjoy and play. Although it may dissatisfied the old fans, it can gives a good introduction to the people new to the Hitman series.
