It's too atmospheric and slow
I simply couldn't get into this game outside of the story, people seem to enjoy it for different reasons. Personally, a lot of the music in this game isn't good enough to play on repeat for the next 100 tracks while you're exploring the biome you're presently in trying to find the next thing to progress the main story or being distracted by any number of long drawn out side quests and side locations you probably can't open yet because you don't have the stats for it, and there are a number of issues that have arisen as a result of their update, which changed everything from a seemingly seamless world to an instanced world, though this was before the launch of the game.

Dread Delusion has a lot of potential, and the story is what propels you ahead, but as you understand the combat is mediocre, and the songs start to get stuck in your head with the humming and choire-like tones, it becomes very exhausting. I want to point out that the game visually is awesome, the music at first is alright, but to go on just Story and Visuals alone isn't enough for someone like myself, I need physical gameplay that isn't me running through every location with max guile (cause I'm silly) and ignoring every single fight because you don't get anything worth while, no exp, no loot outside of knives and potions, so you try to rush through, get the content pushed forward, but then you are in the wrong location, you have no stats (might or lore) to unlock the secret locations to get Delusion Points to level up more of your skills, which really aren't doing much for you. So you need to leave and come back some other time if you manage to find the clothing to boost your stat and find enough delusions to unlock that secret location, which won't have a lot there.

Conclusion
I was enjoying the game until I wasn't, and I have put enough time in it that I felt compelled to continue on through the game to reach the end and complete the primary story, which was excellent, but I just couldn't pull myself to do so. If you enjoy games like Morrowind and other first-person instanced-open world RPGs, you might find something here, but my advice would be to look up a guide when you get lost to avoid the headache of the music, lack of combat, and overall gameplay outside of the story.
