Visually, DED is stunning, with detailed environments and atmospheric lighting that create a sense of immersion and depth.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
11 of 177 sampled reviews raised it
The game has an arcade feel and features a combat system that is (to me) original and innovative, it involves a distance/aiming meter (specific to each enemy type) lingering too long in thier sights results in you taking damage.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 177 sampled reviews raised it
The hauntingly beautiful environments, coupled with the atmospheric sound design and haunting music, create a sense of tension and unease that keeps you on edge throughout your journey.
