NEON ABYSS
Neon Abyss 2 Review Roundup
Metacritic's default page reports 81 from five critics. Steam's review API reports 2,506 reviews at 70.6% positive with language=all and purchase_type=all. That all-purchase snapshot is Mostly Positive, but the separate Steam-purchase sample is Mixed (2,136 reviews, 1,483 positive, about 69.4%). All numbers were checked on 14 October 2026 and include early-access reviews; 2,506 is not six days of new 1.0 reviews.
I pulled Metacritic and the Steam review API on the same day, 14 October 2026. I am not adding my own star rating. The gameplay notes below come from the store text and the 1.0 trailer, not from a scored personal clear.
Scores on 14 October 2026
Do not mix these with the 2020 game. Neon Abyss sits at Metascore 74 from 12 reviews and a much larger Steam sample.
| Source | Neon Abyss 2 | Neon Abyss (2020) |

What the gameplay pitch actually promises
The store text promises faster run-and-gun rooms, more combat styles, and item synergies, plus online co-op for up to four players. Storm Breach is the shorter mode. The accumulated review sample includes Early Access and is not a separate verdict on 1.0 alone.
