My Favorite Immersive Sim

This game is criminally underrated and unknown. And the title, 'Prey', probably didn't help. A better title would have been 'Psycho Shock', as this is the best spiritual successor to 'System Shock' ever made, in my opinion. And in many ways, 'Prey' is even better. Talos-1 is the most thoughtfully designed, fully realized and utterly believable enviornments I've ever experienced in a videogame. The attention to detail is staggering. Every room tells a story, every item is placed with intention, every corpse has a discoverable backstory. The level design is inspired. Even the mechanics of the enemies you'll face work to enhance the level design, by rewarding the player for paying attention by punishing them if they don't. 'Prey' respects the player's intelligence. It gives you tools, and options, and lets you choose or ignore them at your preference. There are dozens of solutions to any one problem you might encounter during your playthrough. 'Prey' is, in my opinion, the best immersive sim ever made.

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.

Good survival game, lots of backtracking

Well, the game itself is good. The athmosphere is really nice, graphics are great and the mood of the game is really gloomy. However, be aware that this game has A) a horrible mission tracker where you are guided to places you can't reach for now or have no idea what to do there. B) a lot of back tracking. You eventually visit every place on that space station around 10 times. 20 if you (like me) have fun on doing the side quests. However, some things are just a chore so I guess my suggestion would be to stick with the main mission mostly, unselect missions you don't want / can't do for now since they are distracting and enjoy the game's survival mode. Don't but it if you want a new shooter. Ammo and Health Packs are always limited. The game also gives some tiny choices. I guess it feels a bit like the old Half Life. So it would be too much to say it is a role playing game but at least the story and dialogues make the game a bit more interesting (even though the ending falls a bit short). About the DLC, well... I must admit I played it for maybe 20 minutes and left it. It feels like it doesn't belong to the game at all. Maybe I missed it but I was hoping for the story to continue but as far as I can see it doesn't look like. I would advise you to read some reviews about it before you buy the complete edition. About the base game, I bought it as an offer and played 20+ hours on a 90% (almost completionist) game. Consider it 12-15 if you focus on the more interesting main story than the "find every person on the station"-chores.

Bioshock meets Dead Space - in space!

I bought this game hearing that it was quite similar to Bioshock, and that's not wrong, it owes a lot to that game for mechanics and gameplay, but it is different enough to be considered a good game on its own merits. I enjoyed it for the most part although it does get a bit tedious at times, and it has quite a nice twist at the end too! Worth playing if you haven't already, ESPECIALLY if you can get it cheap!
