Non-adversaries can be injured/killed at will (this may negatively affect players' score), and some sequences allow players to kill police officers. Violent encounters are accompanied by realistic gunfire/explosions, large blood-splatter effects, and characters pleading for their lives dead bodies incur additional damage when shot. Players can also employ stealth tactics (e.g., poisoning a character's food/drink slitting their throats from behind strangling them with fiber wire) to eliminate adversaries at close range. Players use machine guns, sniper rifles, shotguns, and explosives to complete mission objectives and kill human adversaries. This is an action game in which players control Agent 47, a master assassin tasked with eliminating targets while evading an organization known as the Franchise.
