I'll try to be as fair as possible

From a design point of view, Prey is truly one of the best games I have played in the last decade. The game excels at two major components: level design and atmosphere. However, I can't overlook the one major issue that I have encountered: a bug. I've been playing games for more than 20 years now, but no other bugs that I have encountered in a game before enraged me as much as this one. The bug relates to items disappearing from your inventory when entering/leaving a specific section of the game. I lost two fully upgraded weapons from my inventory. Without giving anyone major spoilers, there are some weapons that are indispensable throughout the game. Not because of their power level, but because they have uses outside of combat as well. The first weapon that I lost did not bother me that much; I still managed to play another ~5-6 hours without it. However, the second weapon that I lost made the game impossible for me to continue as it was my main form of offense in combat and indispensable outside of combat as well. The fact this bug is still in the game since 2017 is just sad. I really fell in love with the game. Its' level design and atmosphere are still some of the best that I have ever seen. PS: The bug is totally random. Most of the players finished the game without ever encountering this bug. PSS: The bug does not only affect weapons, but all items.(e.g.: depending on how lucky you are you can loose a weapon or a piece of paper that you found on the floor).

Killed a game much better than itself

To begin with, let's start with a brief synopsis of the game itself. It can be very cool at times like you'd come to expect from Arkane at this point, but it can also be unbelievably jank like you would also come to expect from them. About 80% of the enemies are mechanically similar to the Archvile from Doom 2 with practically no way to break line of sight, all the enemies are amorphous blobs which makes basic stealth and combat a chore, the game is structured kind of like a metroidvania which really just wastes your time, and cool moments and dialogue are ruined by people constantly talking over each other and cluttered visuals. Don't get me wrong, it does some really great stuff, for instance I've never played a game before that portrays how disorienting zero-gravity would be, but the negatives make the game just overall a really hard thing to recommend. The biggest problem isn't even really the game itself, though. This game has forever buried a much better game, Prey (2006), and for that I have to remove one star. For those who don't know, this is completely unrelated to the original game. Bethesda apparently just had so little faith in the IP that they let Arkane use it for this, and that's really a travesty. The original Prey is possibly the most unique game I've ever played, and I could rant on and on about how good it is and how it constantly keeps you on your toes for what crazy thing you'll see next. The fact that this exists has sentenced the original Prey to the same fate as the original Quake, so much potential that was thrown away because they couldn't be fussed to come up with a new name. tl;dr - Don't play this, track down a copy of the original Prey instead.

One of the best games we've ever played

Thank you Arcane for creating a total masterpiece. Narrative and environment story telling in this game is unmatched; me and my partner have enjoyed all of the story that this game (and its DLC) offers. And thank you for publishing on GOG. F🖕Microsoft.

Worth every penny

System Shock 2, but with modern graphics, better gameplay and many fresh ideas. Must-have for any sci-fi fan.

Center your crosshair ! Close to perfect

Upon release there was no fix for uncentered crosshair, so I refunded the game because by default its optimised for console-aiming, you essentialy stare into the ground - it just feels very weird. Years later (now) you can fix the crosshair, and have it centered. The game feels much more natural and I'm convinced that this is how it was supposed to be for PC version. I've read in other reviews that many people struggled with the difficulty, and resources. And that the weapons don't do damage. I finished the game on Normal and I can't agree with any of that, if you use your weapons properly, such as using eletric damage type towards machines, or blasting enemies upclose with your shotgun, you won't have any issues at all. Nearly all human-size or smaller enemies can be one shot killed with your shotgun. Never have I struggled with resources at any point. I don't think anything else needs to be said about this. It does many things good: - Beautiful design of the map, connecting it together and making some sense - Freedom to explore, many ways to solve and approach your current obstacle - Good sound design, both in sounds of environment and narration - Solid gunplay feeling - Tight player movement, no-gravity-zones also good to move in and felt fluid - Good PC performance, haven't had a single crash - Not a single visual bug on map present that I encountered (Usually in almost each game you find a place on map with forgotten texture or outright can see under the map etc., this is a nice surprise) Negative things: ->Hacking minigame - Incredibly easy, time-wasting sinker. MOD it out! Neutral things: - Pacing of the main story, ending seems a bit rushed. - Design at some places could be more futuristic, the story is set post year 2070 in-game, and you see many technological advancements and future technology. Yet you see old tape projectors and sticky notes and other outdated technology around. More holograms and other high-tech would be much more appropriate.
