I liked this a lot more than I expected to, and certainly more than most other people have, but there's no explaining why without spoilers.
The gameplay is not great, neither is a fair bit of the writing admittedly, but I am legitimately impressed by their ambition with the narrative and what they tried to do, even if they didn't fully pull it off.
Here's an interesting nugget: following massive layoffs at 2K Marin after this game did poorly, some of the people who worked on this joined Arkane and worked on Prey, which I think is why I found a lot of curious similarities.
