Professional reviews from gaming critics

All in Abyss: Judge the Fake is a visual novel poker RPG that only excels in one aspect. The actual poker games are a lot of fun, but the whole thing is held back by a lacking narrative.

The games of Texas hold'em poker All in Abyss: Judge the Fake are fun for a while but become tiresome thanks to a lack of innovation and a reliance on luck. The writing isn't doing much to pick up the slack either.
All in Abyss is a poker visual novel that does justice to neither poker nor visual novels. It works, but only for those who are curious about its tasteless anime girl torture scenes.
