Hitman: Absolution is available at a low price; GOG is giving away Agent 47's least popular film, aside from the movie, for the next three days.

The announcement of Hitman 3 may have you looking for another murder to play until January; the problem with Absolution is that somehow Io Interactive has temporarily forgotten why Blood Money was so beloved.

Instead of building on the best games, the developer focused on cinematics and crappy storylines, and worst of all, eliminated open, sandbox-like missions and split them into separate areas, often with scripted events. On the rare occasion that they give us a proper open-ended mission, it starts to approach the quality of the previous film, but those moments are too few and far between.

Tom Francis gave Hitman: Absolution a 66 in his review, but Andy Kelley claims it's not as bad as you remember. Not as a Hitman game, he says, but as an action/stealth game it's decent. If you can get it for free, that's definitely better.
