You're part of a minority, though. A lot of people felt Absolution was a massive misstep from the franchise. IO-Interactive have already confirmed that the next Hitman game will draw inspiration from the older games and that they're removing a lot of things that were introduced in Absolution, like small, linear levels and checkpoints, so they know what they did wrong with Absolution.

The people who enjoyed Absolution are mostly from the camp of people who never played (or finished) the previous games, and I suspect we'll see the same thing happening with the new Thief game.

So I have to buy, then play the game myself, before I can call it shit? Despite a lot of reviews calling it shit and it looking like complete shit on streams? Sorry, but no. That's flaky logic. I don't have to dip my finger in shit to know it's shit. I've been playing games long enough that I can spot shit from a distance.
