In terms of world-building and atmosphere, this is undoubtedly one of my favorite games of all time. I love how Remedy embraces the inherent surrealism and absurdity of games, and I wish more studios on their level thought this way.
The core combat gameplay is fine, but it gets tiresome by the end, and the occasional puzzles are bog-standard tedium. Everything else about the game is so good that it almost doesn't matter. I have high hopes for the sequel.
