    A bizarre adventure through and through, Made in Abyss is an excellent adaptation of a very popular and interesting anime! The gameplay loop, story and design make this a great little adventure game with plenty of unique challenges and gameplay elements. For fans of the anime this is a no-brainer, absolutely buy it and enjoy! For non-fans, if this genre appeals, then this game is one to watch. It's absolutely worth the time it takes to learn how to play it correctly, even if the goal is just to see what gruesome event takes place next!

    Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is a good adaptation of the series, but with some weak points. While its story is interesting, resulting in both a summary of what fans already know and something new, some of its mechanics are frustrating, and its gameplay can sometimes be labeled as repetitive. All in all, it is a highly recommended purchase for those who enjoy challenging games and dark narratives.

    Made in Abyss stays true to Akihito Tsukushi's original work, reminding us just how intriguing and mysterious his world can be. The new story expands its universe even further, but the somewhat clunky control and unstable performance screws up much of the gameplay experience.

    Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is a good game marred by poor pacing and the inability to blend game mechanics with the story they came from. If this game was purely the "Deep in Abyss" mode, it would be a great action-survival game with elements of RPG mechanics and even some horror mixed in. However, the contrast between the game modes both in gameplay and presentation is shocking and leaves one wondering why "Hello Abyss" needed to be a requirement to access what feels like the "actual game."

    While Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness sports an excellent art direction and adapts the early part of the series' story quite well, it unfortunately fails to provide an enjoyable gameplay experience.

    Made in Abyss is an odd game to recommend; the gameplay is great once you unlock the mode that actually features it, but until then you’re stuck having to trudge through a stripped-down, too-long-for-what-it-is easy mode that isn’t actually easy. If you aren’t willing to do that, you won't get to play the actual game that makes the price tag worth it. For those who do make it past that hurdle, the survival mechanics are well-implemented, the character progression is satisfying, and this is overall a perfectly enjoyable release. We wouldn’t necessarily recommend you pick up Made in Abyss, nor would we say you should pass on it outright; it’s an interesting game with plenty of redeeming qualities, but it’s gonna make you work to see them in ways that feel unnecessary.

    By the way, the first half of this game is the anime portion. The second half is locked behind finishing the first half and is a new story made for the game where you create your own character and level up and is probably more like the game I thought I was getting. I have heard this second half is decent but I’m not going to slog through this mess to unlock it while listening to the two characters repeat the same lines over and over and over again. I could turn off the voices but that means I turn it off even for the story beats which defeats the point entirely. An update that unlocks that second mode automatically would maybe get me to rethink my score but what this is now, I wouldn’t even tell fans of the show to play it.

    1. not much replayability, no random generated quest. quest is linear
    2. randomized relics is just between show or hidden in same place. the location not randomized
    3. its not a surival game or any element of resource managment adventure, its just grindfest "gather and back to hq". for example in first area in west you need 5 rope to descend and safely get back to HQ , but the rope material itself only have 2 material placed in area and you need 2 material to create 1 rope. so to get 5 rope you need to gather material, go back to HQ, gather material, go back to HQ, gather material, go back to HQ, gather material, go back to HQ, gather material, go back to HQ, gather material, go back to HQ, rinse and repeat until you have 5 rope so you can descend and ascend safely.

    the game is better if implement roguelite + random generated area. waste potential
