While it's not the worst, I really don't understand what people praise about this game. The audio logs, soundtrack, art direction and plasmids are the most unique things about it, and otherwise it just feels like a painfully derivative and badly written. The audio logs are prolly the best writing in the game I'd say.
If I were to compare this to System Shock 2 or any other shocklike, this game does most of what System Shock 2 does but badly. The one twist (which I will not spoil) that everyone praises so much is ripped from System Shock 2 and is not given enough time to actually develop at all in a way that makes you feel anything. If anything, this game is basically underwater DOOM 3.
