Hitman: Absolution offers something for every type of gamer. If you never play games, or if you’re the son of Agent 47, it doesn’t matter, because thanks to the addition of difficulty, you can choose for yourself if you make it hard for yourself or not.
A while ago, developer IO Interactive announced to be using five different levels of difficulty in the game, but until today, what they are was a mistery.
On the easiest mode, you can activate checkpoints and use hints by using instinct, while the Pursist-mode offers almost nothing… You don’t have checkpoints, help or interface, and to make things even more difficult, enemies are extremely strong… You can check out the description of every level below.
