The Abyss: Incident at Europa is a 1998 adventure video game by Sound Source Interactive, based on James Cameron's 1989 science fiction film The Abyss.[4]

The game, set six years after the film, is a real-time adventure game played from the first person perspective.[4]

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]
