You may enjoy Control, I personally couldn't get past the rather uninteresting gameplay and mechanics, but the lore and snippets of story you find scattered around are something else
That's interesting. Did you stop early on? I guess if you just know it as a basic shooter it'd be boring, but once you start incorporating powers it really expands a lot, imo.
I think you're right, I was about to "leave" the early parts of the game, I had already unlocked some powers but not leveled them up too much, I should really try to get back to it though, despite feeling a little bored when playing, I just can't forget the aesthetics
A tip, don't bother leveling up melee, it's a pretty useless power unfortunately. Throw everything into the launch ability, plus health/energy whenever you feel you need more.
I was also going to recommend Control, it's my favorite game of all time. The world building and lore is fucking fantastic!
I played 2 minutes of it and found myself consuming the lore with fervor, then I got distracted and that was a month ago, thankfully I can jump in back at the beginning and not have missed a beat.
