Like the previous Hitman titles, Absolution also relies on disguise system to complete a mission. The player journeys to various locations, including a mansion, library, strip club, gun store, wrestling arena, courthouse, and hotel during the story. Agent 47 also has the ' Instinct' ability that lets the player monitor enemies more easily. There are also environmental ways to kill or distract individuals players can use poison to spike coffee, pull switches to make a disco ball fall and break, cause a massive explosion at a gas station, pull a switch to cause scaffolding to fall down, cause fires, or set off fireworks. Players complete chapters in order to progress through the story. Big, sandbox type missions of previous titles are now replaced by linear levels, divided into several mini-missions, called segments, which are connected to each other via a single entrance or exit.ĭespite linear level design, however, players can choose how to complete each level to some extent, using firearms and melee weapons against enemies if opting for the action-oriented approach, or avoid enemies altogether and only attacking the set target(s), if using the stealth-oriented approach. Unlike its predecessors, Absolution follows linear gameplay. Objectives can range from simply reaching the end of the level, to killing specific individuals.

Presented from a third-person perspective, the gameplay centers around completing set objectives within a series of levels. In Hitman: Absolution, the player assumes the role of Agent 47.
