Abyss is a small game with limited appeal: tight, difficult controls, a grainy aesthetic, and not much variety in gameplay outside “get to the end of the level.”

Engaging and very atmospheric adventure recreated from Nintendo DS to Wii U. Relaxing, challenging and fun to play.

This HD version of Abyss features some new missions, remastered graphics and the same hardcore gameplay of the original game.

Abyss is a quiet anthem to the feeling of excruciating difficulty that went hand-in-hand with so many games from more than two decades ago, a minimalist effort designed to lure the players and make them die a thousand times before they reach a simple, yet very satisfying triumph.

Abyss is as “OK” as a game gets. Presentation and gameplay-wise, it’s very unmemorable, and there’s not really any particularly reason for recommending this eShop purchase, save for its very low price.

It is unfortunate that the difficulty curve is very high, because despite having a fairly simple mechanics it can satisfy minimally.
