Parent Pro-Tip

Due to its mature themes and violent content, Hitman: Absolution is recommended for older teens and adults. Parents should be aware of the game's depiction of violence, which can be graphic, and some suggestive themes. The game does, however, offer good opportunities for developing strategic thinking and problem-solving skills.
