Absolum Review TL;DR

Absolum’s got gorgeous art, a banging soundtrack, and rock-solid beat ’em up combat across a handful of unique characters, but its roguelite trappings feel like a needless chokehold at first—forcing you into repetitive runs that lean more on stats than skill.

Stick with it, though, and the story kicks in, the upgrades feel meaningful, and the game finally starts to shine as the compelling brawler it set out to be—just wish it got there faster.
