Hitman: Absolution for Nintendo Switch (NSP ROM), is an action game… but its biggest flaw is the lack of a save system. Even the slightest mistake leads to frustratingly failed attempts. Save points are scarce during missions, and even when found, they don’t significantly improve progress. Dead guards come back to life, corpses disappear, and clothing and equipment are scattered everywhere. It’s clear the developers didn’t think about how to store all this data. Even more frustrating is that Hitman’s two main strengths are experience and the pursuit of perfection.
The game still contains rich elements and mechanics, but finding them becomes frustrating when you’re trying to achieve perfect stealth in just fifteen minutes. And when your perfect performance is interrupted at the last minute by unpredictable guard detection rules, it’s hard to find the motivation to replay the entire level in the hope that it won’t happen again. Especially if stealth requires waiting for the conversation to end before the guards disperse. At least, that was my initial impression.
Switch games are playable on PC using emulators like Yuzu or Ryujinx.
To install NSP/XCI files on your Nintendo Switch console, use Tinfoil or DBI Installer.
Once the installation is complete, launch the game and enjoy!
