I abandoned Absolver: Downfall. Why? Well, because it was just way too boring and way too alpha-like for me. I wanted to play it because it's made by the studio that would later make Sifu. I wanted to start from their first game. However, the combat mechanics here are not that good and very poorly explained.

The graphic style is very basic, there is no story at all and the navigation is also a big problem. It's similar to a Souls-like level structure but every path I go has like 5 different ways to go and some of them connect, some of them don't, there is no map I can access anytime I want, I just couldn't find where to go.

Absolver really was this team's alpha-level game. Haven't played Sifu yet but my next stop will be that. Hoping it's much better than this.
