There's a somewhat linear critical path to follow, which asks you go to specific locations, often (at least initially) via a specific route. It also looks great, with a contemporary art deco facade that gives way to a more traditionally utilitarian space station design in restricted areas. Away from the darker, more foreboding areas dedicated to weird science, there's a sense that this was a place where people lived and worked. There's an IT department, server rooms, medical centre, and even an HR office. Everything makes sense within the ecosystem, such as the crew quarters where people went to unwind and play pen-and-paper RPGs. I got a great sense of Talos-I as a functioning place, both through the design of the station and the stories found within.
They're a bonus if you find one, not a guaranteed solution, and the space feels more realistic because of it. Prey has vents-or maintenance hatches, thus explaining why they're big enough for someone to crawl through-but they're less consistent, and sometimes well hidden. As such, the environment design, while satisfying, feels artificial. In Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, you always know that there's a vent that will take you closer to your mission objective. Moreover, it's one of the most natural feeling spaces I've crawled through in recent memory.
Just as an individual office in Prey will offer multiple ways to enter, so does the station at large offer multiple ways to traverse it.
