End of Abyss is when Metroidvania meets space horror
Section 9's new game is an atmospheric sci-fi shooter with Metroidvania-style exploration.
It might be the scanner, which the protagonist can use to glean information, spot hidden items and tag room details for further exploration once you’ve got new skills or weapons. You’ll have to tag between the scanner and your gun pretty often, too, as biped monsters, spidery little parasites and beefier foes swing their literal heads at you. Even better, with a game that centers on exploration, when you come across something that you can’t yet interact with (for example, a weakened wall that could be demolished or a security door that requires a key), scanning it in-game will ‘tag’ the feature on the menu map, making it easier to circle back once you have what you need to progress.
