The atmosphere and paranoia the game builds up, the ability to play how YOU want to play, how YOU want to approach an encounter and how interconnected the entire game is, is just amazing to me.
Story

Talos 1 feels like a place people actually used to live in, and everything you come across (be it weapons, materials, consumables, or dead bodies) has an in-universe reason to be there.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

It's not Splinter Cell level sneak difficulty or ammo preservation - it's very well balanced.

The OST isn’t anything super memorable, but it does a great job setting that eerie vibe, especially when ur wandering empty hallways waiting for a mimic to jumpscare u lol.

The graphics still hold up pretty well imo and Talos 1 has a really immersive atmosphere.
