The lighting effects—particularly the glow of bioluminescent creatures and the flicker of machinery—create an environment that is both beautiful and unnerving.

10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Much better optimized for Steamdeck than other games of the same genre.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design amplifies this tension: the hum of the mech, the muffled echoes of drilling, and the distant cries of unseen predators all build a sense of isolation.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
An option like co-op would be awesome but, then again if its supposed to be single player it still works very well.
