Misunderstood masterpiece
One of the best and most misunderstood experimental games ever made. Story, gameplay, and level design are all top notch. No relation to Prey from 2006, which was great in its own right - they are completely separate stories, canons, themes, motifs, etc. I think one of the reasons Prey is so misunderstood (besides unfortunate naming) is that it throws the player into the action without gradually introducing them to all the mechanics. Example: later on you will have access to new mechanics but never be aware of them unless you explicitly explore optional objectives and experiment with your gameplay style. Essentially, it's greatest strength and perceived flaw are the same: a hardcore imm sim that doesn't hold your hand. I ironically see this issue in many of the negative reviews, which is really unfortunate. People commonly seem to have either gotten bored or frustrated from not understanding all the tools they had at their disposal and how they could be combined. Prey is absolutely worth your time as long as you go in with an open mind, curiosity, and the intent to explore. This game will not hold your hand, and that's where much of the fun and replayability lies if you let it.
