Absolver is one of my favorite fighting games, however I can't really recommend it for new players
Absolver is one of my favorite fighting games, however I can't really recommend it for new players. Absolver may have really good combat mechanics and some amazing art style/visuals. It's one of those games where you actually feel a sense of progression as you continue playing; not only does fighting feel satisfying but you also get the sensation that you are getting better. Despite all this there are some setbacks that stop me from recommending it to everyone. The game has a very small active community so it's pretty much dead. This wouldn't be a major problem if the PvE had more content, unfortunately the main story is very short, you can beat it under 2 hours. There are endgame dungeons but they are just small linear caves with a boss at the end. Not only do they lack the artistic details of the main game but also lack the exploration aspect of it, making it repetitive and (in my opinion) boring. Unless you have some friends to tag along, those dungeons are probably not gonna be fun. The other side of the endgame is the PvP, which is a little more active, but most people there have spent hundreds of hours into the game, know most of the moves and have the coolest looking gear, so a new guy is probably gonna get his ass kicked without standing much of a fight. That's a big turn off for most people who simply want to fight someone on their level, but you could always try to improve and learn until you stand a better chance. It really depends on the person. TL/DR: Pros: Good artstyle, great and satisfying combat system Cons: Game is basically dead, lacks singleplayer content, the PvP is tough for new players. If you can stand Absolver's shortcomings then sure, get it. Otherwhise don't even bother or you won't have much fun.

Easy recommendation
TL;DR Forced PVP to fight main bosses again, not many bosses avaible (3 main one and 5 miniboss), fluid combat, little bugs, horrid camera angle sometime, plenty of combat move/outfit customisations, core gameplay is polished and decent Do I reccomend it? Yes, with the free expansion (Downfall) the content is more accessible, PVE got some much needed love & it even eased the grind to buy equipement (wich aside powers is more a cosmetic aspect), the game also received a healthy dose of lore

Few things to know before you buy the game
Few things to know before you buy the game. 1. It's heavily based around PvP 2. Easy 2 learn, hard to master. 3. Very difficult PvN. 4. Little to no story or endgame to speak of right now. If you're not into difficult fighting games, you will not have any fun here. Still around? Great! It is an amazing game with a solid foundation and solid idea of a duell fight game sort of thing. You create your own character. You have alot of customization for said character in form of different gear, masks AND even your fighting style and your attacks which also offer alot of customization. Imagine For Honor where you decide your own attacks. The graphics are very simplistic and stylised. So if that sounds like something you enjoy then that is definitly a recommandation from me!
