The sheer wealth of weapons and pick-ups available genuinely means that no two journeys through the abyss ever feel the same. The room layouts may look the same, but the chaos that happens within is completely different each time. Neon Abyss is undoubtedly one of the best Rogue-likes in recent years; gorgeous, meticulously designed and a hell of a lot of fun to play. It’s a shame a few bugs let it down, but hopefully they’ll be ironed out before long, then what’s left will be nothing but an exhilarating experience.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com\u002F2020\u002F07\u002Fneon-abyss-review\u002F","8\u002F10",80,{"id":73,"author":74,"outlet":77,"summary":83,"review_url":84,"review_date":55,"original_score":85,"normalized_score":71},35858,{"id":75,"name":76},3449,"James Cunningham",{"id":78,"logo":79,"name":80,"website_url":81,"score_format":82},31,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FHardcore-Gamer-Logo.jpg","Hardcore Gamer ","https:\u002F\u002Fhardcoregamer.com\u002F","5","Neon Abyss is a highly playable action-roguelike with a huge number of perks and weapons to take on the ever-growing horde of monsters that show up in each room.  The powerup progression in a run is almost always satisfying, assuming it doesn't take too long for the random drops to start piling up in a helpful way, and while sometimes the chaos can become unreadable it's usually due to becoming trigger-happy on entering a new room.  With great power comes great responsibility, and that can mean carefully managing a gun that might shoot multiple large homing projectiles in a room with four or more different enemy types, each with its own individual attack and bullet pattern.  In theory at least there's no need to take a hit even against the barrage of the meanest deity-boss, but it's far more likely a run will end prematurely as small errors add up, but the abyss is always waiting.  Whether it's the new gods of a modern age or the old standbys, it doesn't matter too much. There's a whole giant dungeon's worth of shooting down in the underworld and the conceptual personifications of human ideas can sort themselves out.","https:\u002F\u002Fhardcoregamer.com\u002Freviews\u002Freview-neon-abyss\u002F382908\u002F","4.0",{"id":87,"author":88,"outlet":91,"summary":96,"review_url":97,"review_date":98,"original_score":99,"normalized_score":100},47168,{"id":89,"name":90},4087,"Simon Fitzgerald",{"id":92,"logo":93,"name":94,"website_url":95,"score_format":52},63,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPush-Square-Logo.jpg","Push Square","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pushsquare.com\u002F","Neon Abyss is a procedurally generated, rogue-like platformer that takes heavy inspiration from the likes of Enter the Gungeon and The Binding of Isaac.
