MONSTER
Abyssus
Abyssus is a fast-paced dungeon crawler, where the goal is to traverse a randomly generated series of dungeons while fighting your way past waves of increasingly potent monsters. There is a strong emphasis on immersion and atmosphere, something the 1980’s classic Rogue fell short on.

After spending dozens of runs in its depths, I can honestly say Abyssus has earned a spot in my rotation. It scratches the same itch as DOOM Eternal’s frantic combat, but layers in the replayability and build variety of a roguelite. It’s punishing, yes, but it’s also fair. If you die, it’s usually because you made a bad choice or weren’t paying attention, not because the game cheated you. And when you pull off a perfect run, weaving through enemies, chaining kills, and watching your brine-powered weapon tear through a boss’s health bar, it’s pure satisfaction.

Despite these concerns, I’ve had a lot of fun with Abyssus, and I imagine I’ll continue to do so. It’s not the most complicated game I’ve ever played, and it has some balance issues, but it just feels so good to blow enemies away and to chain abilities together that can cause massive havoc around you. I’ll just make sure that when I come back to Abyssus, I’m consistently doing it with a crew of friends who are all ready to cause even more of that mayhem with me.

Abyssus is a solid title, and one that I expect to return to over and over until I complete it. While there are some aspects that could be improved, they won’t deter me from coming back to the post-launch content when those eventually release as well. For a surprisingly enjoyable FPS roguelike title, look no further than Abyssus this summer.
