Outstanding Sci-Fi Game, A Modern SS2
**Buy the Deluxe Edition, because Mooncrash is a really fun Roguelike take/spin-off of Prey's gameplay formula.** In Prey, you participate in an experiment aboard a space station and it goes very wrong. You explore these massive open-ended areas and complete objectives in numerous different ways. It's quite obvious that Prey 2017's developers also made the Dishonored games. There's a ton of different weapons and scientific gadgets to choose from. Some are effective or ineffective depending on the type of enemy alien you encounter. Enemies have unique fighting styles, so the combat never gets boring. You can also scan them with a scientific apparatus kinda like filming or taking pictures of enemies in BiioShock (except in Prey, you can access research notes of enemies kinda like how researching items work in System Shock 2). But obviously the most fun part is the numerous "perks" or "upgrades" your character can develop by installing "neuromods", the upgrade-item. Some will let you hack computers (which you can interact with like in Doom 3), and some will upgrade your inventory space so you can manage it better much like Resident Evil 4's "Inventory Tetris" system. Neuromods will also let you upgrade weapons and even develop alien powers like launching psionic fireballs or blocking enemy attacks. The voice acting is really good and it's cool that you can choose the body type/birth gender of your character. The ambient music is very fitting and some of the unique music tracks are exceptional. I can't really think of anything bad to say about this. This is an obvious buy for fans of Deus Ex, System Shock, BioShock, or Dishonored games.
