Absolver
After the incredible Sifu, it’s easy to forget that Sloclap used similar combat in a somewhat open-world setting. Absolver presented itself as this free-flowing title where you could challenge almost anyone in its world, customizing your move set and finding the best combos. However, not only were the controls finicky and the mechanics frustrating, but the world itself didn’t offer much to do. It’s a shame because the aesthetics and this premise of starting from the bottom, battling tougher opponents in this visually distinct world, seemed cool. Alas, it wasn’t to be.
