I dont get it. 

I’m 8 hrs in and;

- Sub-par 3rd person shooting mechanic and limited team combat strategy.

- Repetitive mission design (get in, kill, find someone, kill, boss)

- Interesting narrative yet poorly delivered thanks to inexisting facial/body animation during cutscenes. (Although, knowing the cinematic pipeline a little, I understand how impossible it is to animate it all. But polishing key cinematics would have been a plus)

- Boring as hell ressource-gathering minigame.

I understand its appeal (it’s really Star Trek the video game) but it’s extremely flawed at its core (gameplay and mission design). It’s a good, if not great, game on certain aspects - but GOTY material? I don’t get it. Is there something I’m missing?

(And how can “Shepperd Leaning Back” not be a meme?)
