Reception

Retro Gaming Magazine suggested "the game’s not as terrible as many people make it out to be". [5] PC Joker gave the game a rating of 39% [6] and GamesMania gave it 40%. [7] PC Gamer said "the level of frustration will quickly turn off a lot of inexperienced gamers." [8] Just Adventure felt the level of shooting was too little for action fans but too much for adventure fans. [9] The AV Vault felt it had "dated, blocky graphics [and] low production values". [10]

CD-Action wrote "The Abyss is second to none and will surprise you with its fineness". [11] Power Play Magazine thought the game was enriched by "unusual" puzzles and action elements. [12]
