To be honest, I'm not even sure if I am criticizing it, in the same sense that i don't really have any criticisms of the colour beige...

It made no impression on me, it had no memorable characters or interesting ideas, I can't even remember the plot despite the fact that im sure i played through the whole thing. The only take away i had was a string of marvel level quips and an extremely thorough understanding that evil corporations are bad...

I was just, disappointed. Thats all. But my impressions are coloured by how much i wanted it to be good after playing falliut 4. Definitely do not let that influence your experience, if you loved it then i believe you 100%

Nah, it wasn't just "evil corporations bad". Believe me, I'm sick of sci-fi that's only that surface level. I thought it had a really clever take on taking things comically too far in that government became religion and corporations became governments. The kind of thing where a corporate soldier in his dying breath is reciting his company's motto. Plus I had a really good time with all of the side quests being deeply intertwined in their causality. A was caused by B was caused by C was caused by D was caused by A and C. You could unravel them all and see the effect all of the characters had on each other, where these things are typically very one-to-one in the genre.
