TechRaptorRobert N. AdamsAug 20259/10Abiotic Factor is a standout example of the survival game genre with plenty of player freedom and a killer blend of dark humor and silly hijinks.

Use a PotionJul 20259/10Abiotic Factor is a smart, inventive, and exciting survival game that thrives on its zany premise and co-op chaos to make for a tantalising experience. It’s not without rough edges – combat is wonky, and the crafting discovery system could be deeper – but those quirks are forgivable in the face of all of the creative, chaotic, and rewarding things that it does right across its gameplay. It has a brilliant sense of discovery too, with plenty of new ideas and surprises to uncover the more you play the game. If you enjoy survival games with personality or simply want to build a science lab fortress with friends while fending off aliens, cultists, and your own bodily needs, Abiotic Factor is well worth your time.

ZTGDTerrence JohnsonSep 20257/10Abiotic Factor is ambitious and often fun, but it’s also clunky and uneven. When it clicks, it really feels like what would happen if Gordon Freeman never picked up a crowbar and only used science. When it doesn’t, you’ll feel the grind, the jank, and the imbalance drag things down. It’s still easy to recommend to survival fans looking for something fresh and cooperative, and the fact that it’s on Game Pass but know going in: this feels like more of a brilliant experiment than polished product.
