    I'll be launching Uneasy Lies the Head 2e! It's a GMless roleplaying game where players play different nobles in a royal court. Play starts by drafting titles, like Monarch, Absolver, or General. Then take turns crafting plans for the realm, setting scenes, & generally getting up to shenanigans.

    Show me that weird game no one played that you love. Absolver is an utterly interesting mix of 3D fighting game and RPG where you pick your style moveset, and stats via items and techniques you find Fighting or exploring. Story is thin and it didn't get much support/content after release

    Oni was an early exploration of fighting game controls in a 3D action game. Absolver/Sifu are more recent takes on it. For Honor is a fighting game disguised as an action adventure (and has a full single player campaign). Arguably, Monster Hunter flirts with it in its directional attacks.

    underrated game I don't hear many people talk about anymore is absolver. Before the devs made sifu they created this and it was seemless online. You created your own move fighting set by dodging attacks and learning them.Crazy game that was ahead of it's time with a great community #gaming #absolver

    As it turns out, “if you build it they will come” is an absolute BAR. I think I’ve spent years pondering how I can support the game I love most, and the answer is actually not just “play the game”. It’s “give the players something to work towards” Play Absolver.

    11. Sifu The game always got some awesome rep when talking about the fighting style and how ready you need to be for it. Absolver, their first game from them, was super different and unique with how the combat works, and I feel they refined it for SIFU. The Secret Level animation was sick too

    Death Stranding 2 had pretty good "immediately switch between shooting and melee," but like everything else, I want more intermediate movement usually I'm either "striking" or "blocking" with no in-between but I think that requires a dedicated melee game, like Sifu or Absolver (or Arkham)

    That's how I feel about Sifu. That game is right up my alley in terms of setting, style, content, etc., but the controls are SO damn complicated. I've been gaming for decades, I'm a solid Smash player and good in other fighting games, and I loved Absolver. But Sifu is just too big brain for me.

    Don't worry, I gave the entire genre a single fair attempt to hook me with BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Portable. It didn't work. Unless you count Absolver. In fact, I don't think I've ever met someone who owned a fighting game besides that Soul Calibur with Yoda in it. Make of that what you will.

    I don't really care about game balance for now honestly, so playing base PvP holds more interest than the Absolver+ mod everybody runs, especially because it's just assumed you'll have everything unlocked too. I kinda want that experience of PvP and getting goodies for shits and giggles.

    I really wish for another game like Absolver to hit. There was so much that could've been improved and built on here. I'm so glad SloClap has found success in Sifu and Rematch, but an online, open-world fighting game / beat 'em up that transitioned online instances so smoothly was so underrated.

    Indika takes a big swing and almost connects, but it's very much worth playing. Baby Steps might be my game of the year and I hate it. And love it. Pacific Drive is the ultimate vibe. A stressful, panicked vibe. I adore Absolver but you need to play it with network off or the latency gets real bad

    Perhaps not a truly "bad" game, but it's one of the few games where I've gone "this isn't very good but I love it anyway": Absolver. I liked the fighting mechanics and the fictional world, even if the actual gameplay was stale and repetitive and the plot was nonexistent.

    Big inspiration for me will always be the game Absolver. Might’ve been niche but a whole game about collecting moves from various styles and mixing them to make your own was always the sickest. Plus that little bit, or a lot based on perspective, of magic made it even better. Wish it lived longer.

If you take that "martial artist revenge for dead master" plot and jam it in a game, you get Sifu! All the cool moves of Absolver, with fluidity and an actual plot make Sifu a real gem.
