I just adore all the small details this game gets so right. Like the fact that there's a certain degree of mystery to the skill trees and how you cannot simply unlock the alien-based ones without doing some research first. I also really like how appropriately not obvious the various pathways through the levels are. This is such a far cry from Deus Ex's air vent epidemic. Last but not least, this game really captures the feel of Talos1 being a place in which people actually used to live and work. It's not succumbing to the urge of being flashy and theatrical. It's also not trying to continually market itself to the player even though he's already purchased it. Similar to a Souls game, it's refreshingly indifferent.
I also really don't understand on which grounds exactly the player base (or rather a tiny, albeit very vocal subsegment within) decides when a game is a bad port and when it's not. The console game looks like the PC version on high settings and runs at a pretty much locked 30 fps (what other Cryengine game besides Ryse can even claim that much?). Input lag isn't exactly ideal, but it's nowhere near as bad as in much faster games such as Rise of the Tomb Raider for example. By far the biggest issue is the loading times when entering the various segments of the ship. But as you're usually spending a long ass time in those, I wouldn't exactly call them dealbreakers either. As this isn't exactly an easy game, the reloading times upon death (or when you aren't quite sure about a skill you want to pick) are way more important if you ask me, and those are actually really, really short. This was a much, much bigger issue In the Witcher III.
I'd say at the very least this is actually a pretty damn competent port.
