I'm not even a gamer, but I was intrigued by the storyline, main characters and general concept, so I ventured in, not sure what to expect.
Everything was very well developed, the CGI and model rendering is top notch. It's amazing what can be created in current times in these realtime virtual environments.
What really stood out was the main character, and her determination to help the young child she bonds with. No spoilers here, so I can't really go into much detail, the short version being that a rift between humans and synthoids (my term for such) is accelerating, leading to a tense and dangerous situation.
The range of issues and societal questions brought to life here brings this game far ahead of the usual assortment of blowing things up and shooting things. Yes, there are a few scenes where that happens, but are in complete context with the story, not just gratuitous violence thrown in for effect. This is a "game" for thinking people.
Kudos to David Cage and the entire team who created this.
