Absolum (2025) | Best Gaming Podcast

Author: Ikecy Christian January 27, 2026 Duration: 11:54

Absolum (2025) is the definitive answer to the question of how to make the side-scrolling brawler matter in the modern age. Developed by the "dream team" of Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, and published by the preservationists-turned-pioneers at Dotemu, it arrived on October 9, 2025. It is the spiritual and mechanical evolution of everything they learned with Streets of Rage 4, but twisted into a fantasy epic that breathes new life into the bones of the genre.


Host Ikecy Christian invites you to pull up a chair for Video Games | Ongamecast, a conversation that treats gaming as the rich, complex medium it is. Each episode is less a review and more a deep excavation, whether we're getting lost in the intricate systems of a new release or revisiting the emotional weight of a classic. You'll hear us unpack the craft behind the experiences, from the subtle narrative choices in an indie darling to the sprawling ambition of a blockbuster epic. The goal is to move past simple scores and hot takes, fostering a genuine appreciation for the artistry and history embedded in every title. This podcast thrives on that detailed exploration, finding the human stories in the code and the lasting impact of the worlds we temporarily inhabit. Tune in for thoughtful, passionate discussions that connect the dots between design, culture, and pure play, celebrating how games resonate long after the console is turned off.
