Hitman Reviews: 10 Early Reactions You Need To Know
8. Multiple Things Have Been Done To Help New Players
"New concessions have been made for those who may have found past Hitman games frustratingly difficult [...] The game autosaves frequently and you can manually save, so you dont have to start from scratch" - The Guardian. Long-time fans will remember the 'save anywhere' approach as that of Blood Money, which was sadly removed from Absolution in favour of a more checkpointed approach in-line with the narrative-heavy framing of that game. Now, we've got the best of both worlds. Due to the size of the levels themselves and the amount of times you're going to want to stack the deck, save, and then see how various elements of your plan can fall together, you're free to make a manual save whenever you like. In addition, it appears you'll get an automatic checkpoint at certain areas, so if you get carried away in the moment and things go awry, a second chance is only a few button presses away.
