Apr 8, 2025When games remind me of familiar places and experiences, it changes my outlook. Instead of marveling wide-eyed at a brave new world’s wonders, I marvel at how these outlandish places surprisingly feel like “home.” I really got into All in Abyss: Judge the Fake because it reminded me of places I’ve been to and experiences I’ve had. That being said, All in Abyss: Judge the Fake is not everyone’s cup of tea. I highly recommend playing the entirety of All in Abyss: Judge the Fake’s Steam demo to determine whether this cool hybrid game is right for you.

Aug 27, 2025All in Abyss: Judge the Fake is a fun combination of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Danganronpa that is much more fun getting to and fighting the bosses than it is for the rest of the game.

Apr 14, 2025Like the Vegas strip, influences are pervasive in All in Abyss. From Texas Hold ‘em against CPU opponents, comical conversations, power-ups to earn, mysteries to uncover, and even some opponent fatalities, Judge the Fake’s mixture of mechanics is gratifying – at least when it’s not being too grindy.

Apr 15, 2025All in Abyss: Judge the Fake deals with a wild hand that’s hard not to admire—even if it’s a little flawed. The boss battles and Danganronpa-style executions steal the show with thematic gimmicks that keep each match feeling unique, even when the game’s balance falters. Its visual novel elements are surface-level and the post-game content is thin, but the journey up the gambling ladder is just absurd enough to be worth the ride. It’s not the most honest game at the table, but it sure knows how to put on a show.

Apr 15, 2025All in Abyss: Judge the Fake features captivating characters drawn into the madness of gambling, with intense scenes that seem inspired by Danganronpa. However, the process of deducing opponents’ tricks can feel tedious, and issues with the game's core mechanics—the “poker battles”—ultimately result in a somewhat underwhelming experience.
-
May 23, 2025Ultimately, All in Abyss: Judge the Fake is a game that thrives on its concept more than its execution. It’s ambitious, stylish, and refreshingly different — but it can’t always live up to the narrative weight or mechanical depth it seems to promise. For those who enjoy poker and are looking for a fresh narrative twist on it, this could be a compelling, if uneven, experience. But players seeking emotional depth or a tightly designed tactical game may find its bluffs easier to read than intended.

Aug 9, 2025All in Abyss: Judge the Fake delivers on one aspect but sadly falters on the other. While I enjoyed the poker aspect, the other half of the game holds it back. A shallow narrative and the roster of forgettable characters leave something to be desired. I have trouble recommending All in Abyss for this reason, which is a shame because there is a good poker game here. I just wish I could play it on its own.
