I just finished the game and I would definetely recommend this to most of my friends. I have played previous hitman so I started this one immidietly on expert. I found that it was definetely more challenging than Blood money on a general level.
Some of the newer system work very well, I liked the new and improve disguise system since is much more realistic and challenging. The shooting mechanisim is also well done, bullet impacts feel real and I also get a bit of Max payne 3 cinematic feel of the shooting sequences. It took me alot of trail-and-error to get through missions without being detected. Run and gun is still an option even on higher difficulties but is actually easier to go stealth there.
I never understood why people view linearity in some sequence in such bad light. For me it was alright, it actually give the game more atmosphere and cinematic tension. Blood money missions are very open-ended that's all fine and dandy but it can and will feel repetitive after a while. Some flash to spice things up is a good thing as long as they don't over do it. Which in my opinion Absolution has an ok mix of it.

What I didn't like was the removal of customizable weapons(in the campaign) and the abilities to choose your load-out premission. Man I wish the bring the whole money and notoriety aspect back into the game!
