Games like Neon Abyss 2

Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly enjoy this chaotic, build-driven sequel that expands the first game, though many complain about bugs, co-op problems and balance.

Many players like the fast, chaotic run-based shooting, the large pool of weapons, items and synergies that lets them craft wild builds, and the boss fights, which several call the highlight. Players also praise the art style, the music and the number of unlocks, and many describe it as a clear improvement on Neon Abyss 1. Complaints centre on bugs that were added with updates while older ones stayed unfixed, with some players saying the game became close to unplayable at points. Some players also report frequent desyncs and disconnects in multiplayer, and others say the balance is off, with some builds becoming overpowered on normal and hard while certain weapons feel weak. A few players also dislike how some unlocks are tied to host progress. Reviews from the last year and older helpful reviews are broadly similar in tone.

Who it suits

Suits players who enjoyed the first Neon Abyss or like chaotic roguelikes with lots of builds and unlocks, especially those who play with friends and accept some rough edges.

Who should skip it

Should skip it if you need a stable, polished experience, rely on online co-op, or dislike rogue-like runs that reset progress and resources each time.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours mostly praise the easy entry and fun builds, while those with 20 to 200 hours more often raise balance problems and bugs, though both groups still mostly recommend it.
