Stealth
Absolution doubled down on the cinematic leanings of the series, trading open-ended levels for more scripted, linear missions. The core stealth gameplay remains, though, with the disguise system playing a central role in navigating each meticulously crafted environment. While the story veers into pulpy territory, the game's focus on close-quarters combat and environmental kills provides a distinct flavor of tension, making it a compelling entry point for newcomers.
