The game has now gone from frustrating to a different type of frustrating. It’s gone from an unfun slog through linear areas to a slew of mechanics thrown upon me too late for me to care in a labyrinthine forest filled with enemies who quickly overwhelm me because I haven’t been able to level up because the game doesn’t reward gameplay but rather story beats.
Anthony Mann · Oct 19, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewMade in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is a hot mess of a game. I respect that rules from Made in Abyss’s world and mythos translated into the game mechanics, but that made for a wholly unappealing play experience.
Neal Chandran · Sep 30, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewMade in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness will certainly interest you; however, those unfamiliar with the story should wait for an update or two before taking the plunge. The premise is amazing, the story is intriguing, and the dark emotional depths it delves into genuinely shocked me on multiple occasions, but the going is slow and the execution is clunky.
Heather Johnson Yu · Sep 24, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewWhile 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.
Abdul Saad · Sep 16, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewI can't recommend Made In Abyss: Binary Star Falling Into Darkness. Its original story has its moments, but that unique experience is drowned out by a needlessly long prologue that undermines various surprises.
Tyler Chancey · Sep 13, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewMade in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is certainly not a game for everyone. It is a challenging balancing act between being faithful to Made in Abyss and being a “fun” video game. It does an admirable job in implementing the “systems” and “rules” of Made in Abyss’s world into a game, but the overall result just feels underwhelming in its presentation and execution.
Josh Torres · Sep 07, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewMade in Abyss: Binary Star Falling Into Darkness is not an irredeemable game. It has its high points, and the core experience is one that even non-anime fans could find enjoyable and worthwhile. It’s held back by needing to adapt material from the anime, though, and as a result, the full product is so much less enjoyable than it otherwise could have been.
Keenan McCall · Sep 06, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewThere’s a great story and world to explore. The action JRPG gameplay is generally enjoyable, despite some tedium. There are two single-player campaigns. And the end result is an ugly game, which has a very good story mode-locked behind a pretty bad one.
Stephan Adamus · Sep 05, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewMade 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.
Jacob Zeranko · Sep 05, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThere’s a lot packed in Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness, but it will take someone willing to play through the 5-hour opening to discover it. However, the original story and challenging survival gameplay elements of Deep in Abyss will have you invested in your quest to be a White Whistle for hours.

About the game
The world’s sole remaining, unconquered chasm, the Abyss, is the stage where many adventures are born...and disappear. Those who appear in these stories are mesmerized by the power of the Abyss and aim for the bottom of the netherworld. The story about to be told is that of a nameless Cave Raider that begins their adventure many days after Riko and Reg depart for the Abyss.
