Absolute Matter

About

Absolute Matter is a co-op shooter RPG set in a chaotic, player-driven world. You and your squad extract resources or fight for control in a crumbling 2081 Europe reshaped by alien technology. Missions emerge from faction conflicts and environmental shifts rather than scripted events. Your choices affect loot, alliances, and survival in a landscape teeming with rival groups and unpredictable alien encounters. The game thrives on emergent gameplay, with 72% on Metacritic and an 85% user score highlighting its reactive world. Unlike traditional shooters, quests evolve based on player actions and environmental changes. Co-op play is central but not mandatory, letting solo or team-based tactics shape outcomes. The setting’s gritty tone and focus on scavenging and territorial control create a tense, unpredictable grind.

Storyline

The player finds himself in the rundown countryside of Europe in 2081. Since an advanced alien civilization connected humanity to an interstellar transport network, mankind localises in metropolises and enjoys the benefits of the changes after the Invitation. The few people still living in the outlands follow their own law. Aliens browse the area. Groups fight for control of essential spots like factories or data centers. Individuals fight for loot and their lives.
