I've described it as "What if Half Life was a 3D Metroidvania, pretending to be a survival crafting RPG."

That's not wrong. Lol. Though I want to say metroidvanias usually only have you go back to older areas just to grab gear you've missed. Sometimes for mats, but that's pretty rare. You do it in Abiotic for those reasons and more. Lol.

I wouldn't say it's pretending to be a survival crafting RPG though. I still remember my shock at a specific event. (I can't recall formatting for spoilers so...)
