One of the most important changes in this version is the increase in image resolution in manual mode and connecting to the dock; Also, a new graphics mode with a focus on enhanced performance is planned, targeting 60 frames per second in both modes. Animations and visual effects have also been improved so that game environments are more detailed.

Other new features include support for Joy-Con 2 controllers in mouse mode; A feature that can make control and aiming easier for some players.

The best Hitman, in my opinion, who is open to Hitman, Hitman is a precious version, a very beautiful version of a masterpiece...

With that music, the first menu of the game is a masterpiece

Seriously, if you switch from Hitman Bladmani or Hitman 2 Silent Assassin to Hitman Absolution, this game will give you a lot of fun in the beginning, but the downside is that the game is not stealth at all and full of weaknesses and ridiculous story plots.
