Totally disagree. Artemis sucked and wasn't very similar to The Martian, was more of a detective story and the protag was nothing like Mark Watney in any way really.
Dude in Hail Mary is basically a slightly wimpier Mark Watney and the plot is the exact same (problem --> science the problem --> repeat) as The Martian.
My ratings would go The Martian (8/10), Artemis (45/10) and Hail Mary (9.5/10). I'm a sucker for softer sci-fi elements like aliens.
Ok glowie. Simply trust that people wanted by or under the control of the US government will kill themselves at suspicious times, it's not something we can ever even begin to think about or understand.
