    Neon Abyss is chaotic, fast and very enjoyable. Unfortunately, it's held back by its repetitiveness and the lack of variety.

    Neon Abyss Where do I start this game is very good the gameplay is there it has a lot of cool things power-ups different characters this isNeon Abyss Where do I start this game is very good the gameplay is there it has a lot of cool things power-ups different characters this is the perfect dungeon shooter I've played in a long time even the boss fights are challenging the dungeons change every time you play, the game fondly reminded me of Castlevania Symphony Of The Night during my time with it as the retro version everything about this game is straight up very well done the way the game is setup is a bight and colorful experience with new formulas added to the genre. The only issues I had with the game is the upgrade system and the desired power-ups are hard to come by each time you play. The rooms generate every fresh play, this definitely makes it unique and stand out from the other games in the same genre, and also keeps the game feeling fresh for much longer, so if you looking for a challenging retro inspired game with eye candy and variety Neon Abyss is sure to scratch that itch. It's fun and is a game I have no issue with recommending to those looking for something new and refreshing to play without breaking the bank. Well done Team17.… Full Review »

    The game is cool indeed, I like that gameplay type, but why the hell it works sooo badly on my xbox one x?? It always falls in freezes onceThe game is cool indeed, I like that gameplay type, but why the hell it works sooo badly on my xbox one x?? It always falls in freezes once the a lot of enemies in the room or on bosses, those lags enrages me to death, I always loose some hp when this **** happens. Witcher3 runs smoothly and this 2d platformer freezes to 0 fps often on xone x. In addition there also bugs occurs when you have no other choice but to restart from the beginning, i.e. one final mob in the room happens immune to bullets and it's not possible to kill him or the boss just disappears in the middle of fight and you are not able to proceed to next level. What the hell is this? Is this bad quality only on xone or the same on other platforms too? Such really nice game turned out so crapped, I hope they will issue a patch soon… Full Review »

    This game is so good, lots of bright colors, lots of bosses and powerups. Everytime you play there is something new.
