The atmosphere is noted for its potential disconnect due to abrupt changes in ambient sound design when transitioning between different areas, suggesting that a more seamless integration of sound effects could enhance immersion.
“Some of the ambient sound design can be a little disconnecting; specifically, when walking to other parts of the level, the background ambiance can change instantly. I think the atmosphere would benefit from a more seamless transition for immersion, with all of the effects working together.”
