Absolum was my favourite game of 2025. Punchy combat, superb art, and plenty of well-realised roguelite mechanics made it a rewarding experience to sink hours into, especially in co op. It has now received its first major update. Threads of Fate introduces even more challenges to satisfy my endgame cravings.
Corrupted Regions and Mystic Ordeals
When you reach the end of Absolum, there is still plenty to do. Whether it is beating the true final boss with every character or wrapping up side quests that lead to new paths, bosses to vanquish, and characters to meet, the game does not simply stop. With the 1.1 update, two major additions significantly shake up the endgame experience.
