This is a game at odds with itself. It wants to be about exploration, but it provides no incentive or reward for poking about, minimal and clunky tools for actually moving about, and only has a central story to uncover. Very quickly the answer to "I wonder what's over there" is "lethal environment, annoying traversal, and random story scraps". Too much time is spent on mechanics that aren't relevant to much of the uncovering, and not enough on those that are. The loop is exhausting, the writing generic, the story (as much as I got in 8 hours) uninteresting. Supposedly the ending is fantastic, but I've lost all interest in getting there.
