And that's a great thing, as it is one of the best-written chapters in the entire series.

We just hope the next expansions maintain this level of polish and content in the future.

Absolum is one of those roguelikes that tells not so much the story it contains, but the one it evokes through its beautiful aesthetic style. A story made of difficult choices, of ambitions that challenge caution, of an authentic desire to leave a mark, however small, however fragile.

An amazing "vania" game, and one that should really be more popular considering its qualities. The structure is the one veteran gamers know and love, but it's been improved with a complex combat system and deep leveling and ability trees. Quite the treat, especially considering the low cost. It isn't perfect, but, if this is the level of this team's first project, we can't wait for what's next.
