Absolum Review - IGN An excellent beat โ€˜em up let down by a roguelite structure that doesnโ€™t serve it.

The video is still cooking, but my words are hot and ready. I reviewed Absolum for @ign.com. It's an exceptional beat 'em up and a middling roguelite. I enjoyed it, but I wish it hadn't wasted so much of my time forcing me to get my numbers up to progress. Death to RPG elements in action games.

I keep saying this, but where are the "we need guns to defend against tyranny" when MASKED PEOPLE ARE GRABBING PEOPLE OFF THE STREET WITH NO ID, WARRANTS, ETC.?

When a tantrum-throwing orange toddler sends the military into American cities?

This is what you've been preparing for, so WHERE ARE YOU?

And somehow, the sky hasn't fallen, there's no economic catastrophe, Europe's green lands aren't suddenly all covered in panels. Wouldn't it be nice if all those people who wailed about how green energy is terrible and spells doom changed their tune to match reality? Well, a boy can dream.

a young man in a blue sweater is clapping his hands together . ALT: a young man in a blue sweater is clapping his hands together .

No idea if he will ever see this, but I want Lewis Pullman to know that his portrayal of Sentry & the Void have instantly skyrocketed those characters to #1 for me in Marvel (past Spidey)

It is CRAZY powerful to see myself on screen after SO many years of watching movies & shows

So much love ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

Dang, that is nuts.

Occasionally someone will walk past it, and I just don't open the door.

But if I'm feeling saucy, I will open the door, point to the sign, and say, "didn't you see that sign? Also, there's no solicitation in this neighborhood"
