Are the Deluxe Edition Items Worth It?
The Deluxe Edition primarily offers cosmetic upgrades alongside a handful of useful gameplay bonuses. While items like the Lightserver’s Blades, Dark Worker’s Pistol, and Brass Bird Trinket provide practical benefits during gameplay, the remaining rewards focus on customizing Edward and the Jackdaw with exclusive appearances unavailable in the standard edition.
