Combat

112 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you enjoy well animated and satisfying kung fu, enjoy having control over every facet of your character and their kung fu, and you also enjoy 1 vs 1, player vs player combat, you may enjoy Absolver.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You have to really enjoy the actual minute to minute fighting to feel like coming back to it again and again, but if the game does hook you, or if you've been looking for an accessible fighting game that has depth and customization, or even just a unique change of pace to your usual PVP tastes, there isn't anything else like it on the market.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The amount of freedom you are given, despite the fact that the game isn't an open world game, but instead free roam, is simply incredible.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Absolver is EXTREMELY clever in it's game design, and it's made in a way that it's simple enough for most people to get really quickly, but complex enough that the skill ceiling can go obscenely high.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Downfall adds a much needed coop-PVE content update in the form of a dungeon with 3 bosses not locked behind PVP level (though you can't fight all 3 in one run)
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Absolver may have really good combat mechanics and some amazing art style/visuals.
