To me it feels like a better RiME; there's less "gameplay" overall, but what's there feels a lot more polished and precise, and the message is much more well focused than RiME. The ending is also much more satisfying and manages to feel more like an apotheosis to some extent. This game gets pretty heavy handed, and some parts are scarily relatable. The voice acting could be better and the camera gets annoying at times (I really do wish there was an FOV slider too), but overall, not a bad experience at all. Just be prepared for how dark it can get.
