    1. not much replayability, no random generated quest. quest is linear
    2. randomized relics is just between show or hidden in same place. the location not randomized
    3. its not a surival game or any element of resource managment adventure, its just grindfest "gather and back to hq". for example in first area in west you need 5 rope to descend and safely get back to HQ , but the rope    1. not much replayability, no random generated quest. quest is linear

    the game is better if implement roguelite + random generated area. waste potential    … Expand

    a very nice game, I would consider it a real love card towards the anime, the possibility to explore the first 6 layers and know more deeply the creatures that live there Is very nice. The only bad thing I found is that there are events that are not exactly canonical but which still provide a longer average lifespan to the game and in a fairly natural way. I sincerely hope they continuea very nice game, I would consider it a real love card towards the anime, the possibility to explore the first 6 layers and know more deeply the creatures that live there Is very nice.

I sincerely hope they continue this game, it's really worth buying it being a survival game different from many others.… Expand

    This RPG features a stunning game environment, where the visual world and the soundtrack contribute to the player's immersion. The experience could benefit from a more dynamic gameplay, however, as its rather slow pacing and long prologue will make things difficult for players who want to see the plot advancing and their character developing with each play session.

    As cumbersome as the name that precedes it, Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness has grand ideas that it just can’t live up to. It’s a genuine shame, but I can’t give this a strong recommendation.

    By the way, the first half of this game is the anime portion. The second half is locked behind finishing the first half and is a new story made for the game where you create your own character and level up and is probably more like the game I thought I was getting. I have heard this second half is decent but I’m not going to slog through this mess to unlock it while listening to the two characters repeat the same lines over and over and over again. I could turn off the voices but that means I turn it off even for the story beats which defeats the point entirely. An update that unlocks that second mode automatically would maybe get me to rethink my score but what this is now, I wouldn’t even tell fans of the show to play it.
