There are so many parallels to the Indiana Jones movies, it's nuts. Combined with the amazing space exploration, fun combat, and the colorful characters, having that tie to the religious themes of the Indiana Jones movies with the big bad Nazis looking for dominate power from technology left by higher beings allowed me to really enjoy the game.
I scrubbed my expectations from the OT and took on a fresh view of this story, and I thought it was great. I played as Scott Ryder so having his Smart ass Harrison Ford style personality raiding vaults, fighting kett (religious Nazi fanatics), racing the Archon (any Indiana Jones baddie) to claim Meridian (Holy Grail, Ark of Covenant) while befriending the locals (angara) to ultimately come together and beat the Archon by having the ancient techonology back fire and kill him was just beyond epic IMO.
There were some holes and pacing issues in the final hours (I wish the reveal of the Jardaan was little more epic and I don't fully understand how we suddenly found Meridian or how we were magically severed from SAM without dying), but looking at the game from this view as opposed to another ancient race, another galactic threat, etc made the game ultimately enjoyable, and I really appreciate the writing.
I just wish Jaal would have said at some point, "I think I stepped on Fortune cookie".
