Kwalee Games' Luna Abyss receives praise on Xbox Game Pass

Luna Abyss, a first‑person shooter developed by Kwalee Games, is highlighted for its striking visual design and brutal, intense gameplay that blends influences from titles such as Doom, Returnal and NieR: Automata. The game is available through Xbox Game Pass and has earned a Metacritic score of 81, placing it above titles like Moss: The Forgotten Relic and near the scores of Halo: Campaign Evolved and Splatoon Raiders.

Players assume the role of Fawkes, a prisoner sentenced to 10,000 days on an artificial lunar megastructure called Luna. By completing tasks for the enigmatic "Father of All," Fawkes can reduce her sentence while uncovering a lost civilization devastated by a catastrophe known as the Plague. An AI named Aylin monitors her actions, alternating between ally and adversary, and strange voices from the "Abyss" hint at a larger purpose for the protagonist.

Both Italian and Spanish commentary note that despite its strong design and narrative depth, Luna Abyss has been largely overlooked by the press and many gamers, making it one of the summer's most under‑appreciated releases.
