Luna Abyss Reviews
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.
