Semi-confusing story plot aside, “Hitman: Absolution” executes the stealth genre in a fun, exciting way.

Agent 47 is a quiet, ruthless killer who sees the world as one job after another. That is, until someone he cares about is involved.

This game has some of the best graphics I’ve ever seen; the lighting is particularly jaw-dropping and every environment feels so special and real.

The game says you are free to handle the missions however you want, but unless you are very stealthy and only take out the intended target, you will receive negative points.

Points are used to unlock upgrades for Agent 47, So you can’t really play the mission the way you want, because you won’t get the upgrades. Sounds like an absence of freedom to me.
