"Absolum launched earlier this month to strong reviews from players and critics alike, thanks to its compelling blend of traditional beat-'em-up action with the replayability and unpredictability of roguelikes and its striking dark fantasy graphic novel art style. While it originally launched as a digital-only title on PCs and consoles, it's now getting a physical release on PS5 and Switch. The PS5 version is already available, while the Switch version releases on October 24."
"While the PS5 and Switch are the only physical editions of Absolum, it's also available digitally on PS5, Switch, Xbox, and PC. PC players can save a few dollars by grabbing Absolum at Fanatical, where it's on sale for $19.49 (was $25). This gets you an official Steam key for the game. Fanatical is also running its Scream Sale right now, so you'll also get a free game for spending over $15."
"Our Absolum review awarded the game an impressive 9/10, noting its fantastic fluid combat, compelling gameplay loop, and eye-catching visuals. "By tapping into a primordial part of gaming history, Absolum has created something that feels revelatory," wrote critic Steve Watts. "The beat-'em-up genre feels changed, now, and I don't know if there's any going back.""
