Luna Abyss struggles with crafting consistently rewarding gameplay moments, but even the dullest of shooting sections is worth getting through in order to inch further into the wonderfully weird world and unforgettable story of this game.
Luna Abyss is more than the sum of its parts, with individual pieces that will all feel familiar, so much so that you've likely played a dozen games just like it. But it's standout character design, environmental storytelling, performances, writing, level design, first-person shooting combat and 3D platforming that ends before it has a chance to outstay its welcome make it a must-play for single-player shooter fans.

A stylish, systems-driven sci-fi action game that blends intense combat, strong traversal mechanics and atmospheric world design into a cohesive whole. Held back slightly by combat readability issues and occasional visual softness, but Luna Abyss still delivers a highly engaging experience overall.
A game that gives arcade FPS fans exactly what they expect from the gameplay side, and far more than they’d expect from the story side.

Despite some ropey platforming and some uneven pacing, Luna Abyss is a compelling debut from a new indie studio.
Luna Abyss is a highly original game, and its strengths lie in its atmosphere and storytelling. The gameplay is basic and more reminiscent of bullet hell games than a classic FPS. What really stood out to us was the exploration of a world that is as mysterious as it is fascinating, and the stories hidden within it.

Luna Abyss is a wonderful surprise in today’s indie gaming landscape. This single-player action-adventure game succeeds in creating a dark and fascinating world, driven by a remarkable artistic direction and an incredibly effective sound design. Its fast-paced gameplay becomes more and more enjoyable over time thanks to the various abilities unlocked throughout the adventure. However, the game is not without flaws. The puzzles lack depth, and the aim lock mechanic makes combat far too easy. Despite these shortcomings, Luna Abyss remains a memorable experience that clearly deserves the attention of fans of narrative-driven FPS games and dystopian universes.

All in all, I had a good time with Luna Abyss. It doesn’t quite reinvent the wheel, but its fast-paced yet relatively accessible bullet hell shooting makes for an interesting gameplay loop, coupled with various fun gameplay twists and great visuals. It could have been a bit more unique or daring, with some padding and replayability issues here and there, but especially as a Game Pass day one title, it’s easy to recommend shooting through the many mysteries of Luna.
The days of imprisonment tick down very slowly, and meanwhile, I have already been trapped in this game for over 10 hours. Luna Abyss is far from unique as a shooter, yet the platforming and shooting feel delightful and quite addictive. The extra elements such as double-jump, generating platforms that disappear after a few seconds, and hanging on rails from a sort of roller coaster have all been shown before, but they do add a bit more depth to the platforming. The chaos of flying balls trying to destroy you, the enemies exploding in your face, the challenge, and the gameplay all work well, and at a very stable framerate. So, if you like a DOOM-style game, with mostly platforming and a little less shooting, this game ticks all the boxes.

Luna Abyss is weird, chaotic and completely unafraid to do its own thing.

Luna Abyss blends fast, chaotic combat with heavy platforming and evolving traversal abilities, while the game pushes you deeper into a biomechanical world filled with secrets. Beyond its intense gameplay, it stands out for its philosophical undertones about suffering and meaning, its BLAME-inspired visual design, strong voice acting, and a story that slowly transforms from a prison mission into something far more existential and disturbing.
