Why players love itThings to know
66% of themes are praise17% are divided17% are complaints
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
124 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is smooth and technically well coded, but the feedback response feels lacking, it's hard to tell at a glance what is or isn't a perfectly deflected hit, or how to react to what, it's just not very intuitive in my opinion.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
High Replayability: You will find yourself going back to earlier levels just to finish them "younger" so you have a better shot at the endgame.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A fantastic concept that provides the more story-driven experience Absolver should've had, visually stunning but falls short in almost all other categories.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is a grueling, rewarding, and deeply stylish journey that feels less like a brawler and more like a high-stakes dance of death.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style reminds me a lot of Riot Games with Valorant.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Every strike feels weighted, and the sound design makes every bone-crunching impact feel incredibly visceral.
