This is the most difficult game to write a review for.

I really want to write my thought for this game but it would be quite long and spoil you from fun. Just so you know that if you are a fan of Made in Abyss. You will have a lot of fun with this game. Many elements are a bit basic from the first look but you will start to integrate yourself with the system and before long. You will spent 20+ hours away just for cave raiding (like me).

The down side? Aside from many great aspects. This game feel a bit "low budget". But its fine, It will given you the experience of delving into the abyss all the same. (Although I wish they could go much deeper with additional camping system and all).

Buy this game if you have enough time to spent on exploring, surviving so I will also recommended this game to be play on Steam deck. Run great at full setting.

I put in 45 hours and I was enjoying the game in the beginning, but once you get to the third layer it becomes nothing but tedium. Mobs that infinitely respawn immediately that harass you while climbing when the entire game is about climbing. You could kill them, but that will take an entire pickaxe that isn't cheap and weighs a ton. One fight will break your pickaxe, food that requires too many ingredients.

Hellish maze maps, inadequate resources, things solely based on luck and on top of it all you have to stop and stand still every 5 steps so you don't get sick. Climbing one rope I had to stop 4 times while instant death enemies prowl. It just became no fun and that makes me sad.

Although it has some interesting mechanics it gets very boring quickly. The level design is made to waste your time more and more as you go deeper. I tried to stick to it because I like the animes universe, but it's not worth the while. Just rewatch the series.

its good bruh

I just want to say that I played a lot more than that 2.2 hours offline.
The tutourial game mode SUCKSSS and is waaay too long please skip it(as every other review says)
Im here because I want to play a made in abyss game, and the environment is pretty cool, it is very cool to see it all in 3D and experience a simulation of it
But why is it so much work to just survive?
Make an easier gamemode please???? Its not because its difficult, but you need to be so focused on eating and crafting new tools over and over and over again, than actually progressing in the game. Its annoying and a drag. I just cant't get committed and immersed enough to bother finishing it. I do enjoy some survival games, but this one is so so repetitive and you make progress so so slowly it's very difficult to enjoy for me personally. I can see how people could enjoy it looking past that, but It ruined what could have been a great experience for me.

The way I got lost just adventuring the Abyss!! Made in Abyss is easily one of my all time favorite animes; and now the game has become one of my all time favorite games. It's honestly great being able to pretty much be your own version of Riko and take on the Abyss. I have never felt more involved with an anime/game that I loved before. 10/10 Highly reccomend.

I am truly sad that I will never be able to suffer through this game for the first time ever again.

This is a good game. It does have its limitations, it could be much better, it is not a high budget well polished game but I had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed exploring the Abyss, getting lost, struggling to survive, and returning to the surface only to go deeper next time.

In the end, we're just the netherworld's lost children

really fun if you can get past the first mode
