Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay loop is extremely enjoyable and the game feels pretty polished.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It differs quite a lot from WTTG in difficulty which i believe is positive for the more casual gamer wanting to enjoy this game (While still being challanged).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And pretty ugly looking too on anything but the epic graphics quality (which I didn't get to play on as either the game struggles with optimization or my relatively beef PC isn't so beef for Dead Signal in particular).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's fairly stressful and tense, usually delivers well on the horror factor, it's replayable, and the story works well with it and how the game tries to rationalize in universe everything that's going on.
