About End of Abyss
End of Abyss is a single-player adventure game developed by Section 9 Interactive and published by Epic Games. Set in a decaying facility, you play as Cel, a combat technician tasked with investigating abandoned zones and battling mutated creatures. Released December 31, 2026, it runs on PC, Xbox Series, and PS5. The story leans into sci-fi mystery, with a focus on environmental storytelling and survival elements. Its core promise: figure out the facility’s secrets through exploration and combat. Ideal for players who prefer methodical pacing over fast-paced action.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions navigating crumbling corridors, using Cel’s tech tools to bypass obstacles and trigger combat. Puzzle-solving often involves rerouting power or manipulating machinery, with combat breaking out when creatures spawn. Battles are third-person, action-based, and prioritize dodging over precision shooting. Each session mixes slow-paced investigation with sudden bursts of action. Controls are intuitive, but the combat AI occasionally feels unresponsive. Progression hinges on uncovering lore through environmental cues, with minimal inventory upgrades. The game’s 14-hour average playtime reflects its deliberate pacing and side-quest optional content.
What Players Think
Community feedback splits between praise for atmosphere (83% critics score) and critiques of combat mechanics. 58% of players report feeling “curious,” while 34% describe tension during creature encounters. Completion rate is 72%, with 42% finishing within 15 hours. A top review snippet: “The facility’s decay is masterfully designed, but combat feels clunky.” 68% of players earned at least 10 achievements (35 total), with “Facility Explorer” being the most common. Average playtime clocks in at 13.6 hours, though 12% play past 20.
PlayPile's Take
End of Abyss is a mid-tier adventure for fans of slow-burn mysteries. Priced at $49.99, it offers decent value for the story and world-building but falls short in core combat polish. The 35 achievements add replayability, but 28% of players quit before completing them. If you enjoy methodical exploration over combat, it’s worth the investment. Avoid if you expect fast-paced action, this is a game about atmosphere, not adrenaline.
