Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Story - Hitman: Absolution, it has both goofy and serious tones (Comparable to a Syfy show by the name of Happy¡, a show that I think is extremely underrated), also featuring strange 'character development' and a Hitman that feels different than usual, without getting into spoilers.
162 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Graphics, audio and Art-Style - The graphics are brilliant for the time, as they should be due to its loading based level progression, bullet casings even have full physics.
