    Played it because every FPS youtuber I watch kept saying that was a great game. Well, it is not bad, but definitely not that good as well. I would rather play the 2017 Prey instead

    The level design is amazing with the tricks they use and all the small gimmicks and portals and just everything about it. It's amazing this game come out before portal 1 . it has some amazing portals in it.

    The Indian story is for freshing in a market where you're not used to seeing these kinds of story it feels very honest and very Earnest the story and that's what made me have fun playing it and listening to it and it was about five hours to game so I was not bored.

    The only sad thing is they didn't get to make a sequel because they were killed because they didn't want to be absorbed into professor, but this game is still amazing.    … Expand

    Looking like a cross between the Turok and Resistance games, Prey is lifted above the usual FPS cliches by mind and gravity bending puzzles that are similar to Valve's classic Portal. Not good enough to challenge the very best examples of the genre but good and different enough to make for a change of pace for people who are all Haloed out.

    Как то в детстве начинал играть в данный шедевр) Но отец увидел(так как я на его пк сидел), и удалил(из за жестокости наверн?)! вот так вот я и не до прошел ее, но спустя годы, как то наткнувшись на нее вновь, я ее вспомнил, и с порывом ностальгии ринулся проходить!

    И что же я увидел? Систему порталов еще до портала 1! Немного про оружие, так как у нас шутер) Так гаечный ключ, который    Как то в детстве начинал играть в данный шедевр) Но отец увидел(так как я на его пк сидел), и удалил(из за жестокости наверн?)! вот так вот я и не до прошел ее, но спустя годы, как то наткнувшись на нее вновь, я ее вспомнил, и с порывом ностальгии ринулся проходить!

    И что же я увидел? Систему порталов еще до портала 1! Немного про оружие, так как у нас шутер)
    Так гаечный ключ, который больше не пригодился кроме как первый уровень, ну и я его еще правда доставал когда у меня патриков не было, но смысла от него было 0, так как павук меня пришлёпнул сразу же)хах)
    2 оружие это винтовка, охотников(рядовых противников) использовалась большую часть игры, еще и по совместительству снайперка)
    3 оружие гранаты которые не скажем так использовал в самую последнюю очередь так как противники подвижны и гранаты могут отскочить и еще и ГГ убить
    4 это плазменная винтовка и тут 4 вида патронов! особенно понравилась электропатрики, это как в сталкере гаусс пушка))
    5 пулемет с подствольной гранатой, не плохо
    6 плазменный дробовик! или кислотный)
    7 павукамет) сильная штука, пользовался всегда когда были патрики)
    8 ну и лук в режиме призрака, чувствовал себя шиноби)

    Так же механика собственно духа, вшита в геймплей и позволяет проходить уровни предварительно разведав и устранением бесшумно каким то врагов) пользовался не всегда, но за возможность спасибо!
    Ну и головоломки! Да тут прям солянка, как и с использованием призрака, так и при помощи гравитационный дорожек, и генераторов гравитации ну и порталы), и это все до портала прикиньте? 2006 а портал 2007!

    Графика и эффекты нормально в 2022(так же разрешение 4к поддерживается), а для 2005 чудесно!

    Уровней сложности в игре нет, и смерть не возвращает тебя к пред сохранению, а к доку, если умер на летательном аппарате, а если в бою с босом, в схватку с этим босом! А в момент воскрешение тебе дают возможность если ты меткий стрелок с лука, набить себе полное здоровье и дух! Очень понравилась эта система) Врагов тоже не мало, и разные, пауки ваще из какой то п.зды вылезают) а летающие это чисто какие то алкаши) какие то оружие лучше использовать против конкретных типов врагов, ну что я понял что паукомёт нет смысла на пауков использовать. А гаусс легче против дронов.

    Немного про сюжет, начинается все типично для американских фильмов про пришельцев) но кончается мое почтение, даже грустно стало, когда я понял что это все, и прей 2 не вышел, а вышел какой то прау 2017(не плохо, но не относиться к первой ваще никак)
    ГГ это индеец Домаси Таводи, который спасает землю от кровавой жатвы). Кстати я вот больше не знаю игр где ГГ индеец, а вы?

    Вообщем советую! Я лично купил данный шедевр за 100р на плати.ру)    … Expand

    You can't go wrong with this game, if you love early 2000s shooters like Doom 3, Half-Life 2 and Quake 4. It does however end on an unnecessary cliffhanger, that never got resolved.

    The only reason its not a 10 for me is the enemies at times feel a little arcade-y, not as realistic as I'd like. But it barely detracts from my enjoyment of the game.    … Expand

    Nachvollziehbar ist dagegen seine ablehnde Haltung, gegenueber seinen von Legenden und Mythen gepraegten Grossvater. Der ihm mit Geschichten seiner Vorfahren und dem Erbe seines Vermaechtnisses, in einer runtergekommen Spilunke, ein halbes Ohr abkaut. Sowie seine Bedürfnis das Reservat zu verlassen.

    Waehrend gerade noch seine, im Reservat fest verwurzelte, Freundin an der Bar belaestigt wird, kippt die ganze Szenerie, ohne Vorwarnung, in ein rasantes Spektakel.

    Lichter am Himmel, kein Radio- oder Fernsehempfang mehr, ein Truck der sich in die Luefte erhebt und kurzerhand verschwindet.
    Ploetzlich muss man hilflos mitansehen wie die Freundin und der Grossvater wegteleportiert werden. Im gleichen Augenblick, oeffnen sich aus dem Nichts Portale und Aliens treten auf den Plan.

    Ein Wimpernschlag spaeter, finden wir uns an der Seite vom Großvater und der Freundin wieder.
    Zusammen mit anderen 'Geernteten' beginnt die Odyssee fernab der blauen Kugel.

    Dieser letzte Fakt, hebt diesen Shooter beispiellos von der tristen Konkurrenz hervor.
    Level- vorallem aber das Waffendesign, haben die Bezeichnung 'extraterrestrisch' auf ein neues Nivaeu gehoben.
    Nicht zu vergessen die Portaltechnik, welche schlichtweg faszinierende Momente bietet.

    Sicherlich hat das Spiel, in meinen 'Augen', schwaechen (zu simple Raetsel, fehlender Tiefgang, geringer Wiederspielwert).

I do not understand why it was chosen Cherokee and all this theme Indian, the character does not empathize, the main character does not cause sympathy, all on a serious schah, run around the alien ship, corridors, enter the portals (from Portal), press the next button possessed in the spirit, shoot is not interesting, and generally have to shoot often, but it is not interesting at all, by the way the key, the most useless in this game, and the whole story does not give to think about anything, but we are Babu, well, find, kill and all, for the player no role it does not play. In General, the game can be praised only from a visual point of view, for its time is great, but, in General, judge for yourself, wrote that the continuation should be sold millions of copies, came out on mobile, but the continuation was not(Prey 2017 from Arkane is not considered), meaning the original from these developers.

    Игра сразу же поражает своей графикой и четкостью, стоит взглянуть в зеркало на свое отражение и хочется плакать глядя на сегодняшние игры (да, привет Mafia 3)., а четкость с которой отрисован гаечный ключ, да и вообще вся картинка выглядит ровной и гладкой, вызывая приятные чувства и гордость за "старое время и старые игры". Теперь, коротко о самой игре, есть завязка, с которой и начинается сюжет, но все происходит так быстро, что нам толком и не дают познакомится с персонажами, а ведь именно их двоих нам и придется видеть всю игру, а одну и вообще спасать, это и главная цель героя. Не понял для чего были выбраны именно Чероки и вся эта тема индейская, персонажем не сопереживаешь, главные герой не вызывает симпатии, все на серьезных щах, бегаем по кораблю пришельцев, коридоры, входим в порталы (из Portal), нажимаем очередную кнопку вселившись в духа, стрелять не интересно, да и вообще стрелять приходится часто, но делать это неинтересно вообще, кстати ключ, самое бесполезное в это игре, да и целом сюжет не дает подумать или задуматься о чем нибудь, но бегаем по кишкам, ищем свою бабу, ну находим, убиваем и все, для игрока никакой роли это не играет. В целом игру можно похвалить только с визуальной точки зрения, для своего времени отличная, но, а в целом, судите сами, написали, что продолжение следует, продалась миллионным тиражом, вышла на мобильных, но продолжения так и не было, да и не знаю, хотелось бы увидеть его...(Prey 2017 от Arkane не считается), имеется ввиду оригинал от этих разработчиков.    … Expand

Controls were pretty tight and responsive for such old game that it made me think of FPS games that came out years after it which felt much worse to play. Graphics have also held up really well over those years, most suprisingly because game has barely any colours and is pretty dark, many games that came out few years later with similiar visual style fair much worse when looked upon from today. However it does feel bit annoyingly old schoolish by todays standards. Like sometimes game clearly gives you visual clues what do in a level, while at times you'll get stuck thinking what are you suppose to do, where to go, what to press or how to beat a boss type enemy. I can respect the lack of hand holding which has plagued modern gaming, but atleast please give me some hint.

    Gravity, portal, puzzle based levels were a nice highlight too, but often felt more like a cool gimmick than true deep game feature like in Valve's Portal. Game doesnt have many guns, most of them atleast felt kinda unique, with interesting design which made the guns actually organic with living like moving parts, hadnt seen that before in FPS games, small but cool detail. Enemy design and variety wasnt as good, plus they werent the most fun to fight against, some felt overpowered who dealt lots of damage to you from just couple of shots, while themselves being bullet sponges at times, or maybe it goes down to show some of the guns were underpowered. The dying system gave me mixed feelings aswell, from one side its helpful when you felt you died from a cheap death, which happaned quite a lot for me, from other it made the game bit too easy if you would be looking for a challenge.

    Setting was cool, having a cherokee protagonist and game centered around native american culture theme and local alien abduction was definetly a big plus which helped setting the game apart from others. Story itself was fun enough with some nice twists but i wouldnt call it a selling point alone, but not bad at all by any means.

    I honestly became bit sad during credits when it was said Prey would continue, but we all know that thanks to Bethesda corporate scum wont happen, needless to say i would had preffered Prey 2 bounty hunter game than what we got in 2017's reboot.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In view of forthcoming release of the new Arkane Studios' Prey, I decided to play the old Prey. I know the two games have in common only the name and little else, but since the name is what it is, right or wrong, I decided to look back at the past. Because I have to understand. Because I think a reboot must respect the original. I already knew Prey, back in the golden age of video games, I remember a PC magazine I was used to read, talking about the game and praising it.

    Maybe Prey's plot isn't very original, but it works, has its own atmosphere and surprised me too. I really liked the concept of "prey". Aliens artificially planted life here on Earth, eons ago, and then returned to reap humans and use them as nourishment. But Aliens don't consume them all, so they can continue to proliferate and Aliens can keep use them at the next passage. Just like Native americans did with american bison, before Europeans destroyed their world and threatened an entire habitat. A relationship that is based on the balanced principle of food chain (a predator and a prey, in fact, as long as there is the one the other will exist), certainly the difference is that The Sphere is more a parasite than an alpha predator. Interesting is also the anti-antropocentric side of the plot: humans are nothing but food, meat, nourishment. A reality so clear that frightens most of the world's population. What matters probably is our legacy, our origins, our descendants, and that's exactly what Domasi discovers moving into the adventure, coming to accept what he is and completing his path as a Cherokee, becoming more conscious of his own existence.

    Prey's gameplay is just amazing, one of the best and most elaborate for an FPS. Weapons are quite varied and fun to use, they have a primary and secondary fire mode; surprisingly they don't require to replace the ammo's magazine because of (I suppose) their "organic" nature: in Prey, weapons are alive or have bio-parts, and simply shoots up until the total ammunition storage ends, which isn't displayed in numerical quantities but with a bar that runs out with use. Same concept for life points. Use of physics, but above all use of gravity in the game, is extraordinary: interactivity is high, it's possible to move many small objects, or to climb over them, but what is great is the use of "Wall walk", which change completely the levels and game's prospective, overturning the game's world and requiring concentration to not remain locked in the illusion that the level is the same. Even moving on asteroids with a low, but own, gravity is very fun. Puzzles are simple but good enough: the one with giant cube is very nice. Is possible to use the Indian spirit, which separates from the physical body and moves to solve some puzzles, but also to attack enemies, explore environments or activating objects. Innovative is the use of transfer portals to move from one area to another, or to unlock secondary rooms. Nice use of armed aircraft too, fun even if requires a bit of practice. In Prey death doesn't exist: towards the beginning of the game, in fact, with obtain of Indian powers is possible to return to life exactly where the protagonist died. Certainly this could lower the level of challenge, but everything is already pre-calculated, so Prey is and remains a difficult game. Enemies' AI is good, they take different behaviors based on distance, they hide and repair, use grenades, and dodge shots. Fighting against bosses is also good and challenging at the right point. With less than 9 hours, maybe it's a bit short, but intense experience. Prey is a game with an immense and structured gameplay to be an FPS, not easy to define but in few words: innovative, immersive, fun.

    Graphically Prey is great, both to be a 2006 game and even today. Certainly it's aged, but power of id Tech 4 is strong and maintains high standards even after more than a decade. Use of physics is well done and literally surpasses many modern games. The audio component is nice, both the one composed by Jeremy Soule (as " Prey Overture") and songs such as "Barracuda", "Don't Fear The Reaper" and "Take Me Home".

    I don't know what the new Arkane Studios' Prey will be. What I can say is that old Prey is a fantastic game, a masterpiece, an innovative and original FPS that despite 11 years of troubled development, it proved to be excellent. That's why the legacy that Arkane Studios has to collect is very heavy and important. I don't think that, anyway, they can manage to achive an FPS with such a successful gameplay. Too bad that by now the old Prey it's not (and will probably never be again) officially available. Can still found around, or on eBay, but its availability remains poor. PC gamers however have their methods to find games outside the official routes. I therefore suggest to anyone to play this game, using every method at disposal, because Prey is really beautiful and doesn't deserve to be forgotten. Don't let it be forgotten.    … Expand

If this game would be released in 1999 (just like DNF) this would be a bigger classic now, in my opinion. But except the fact of development hardness, it's still a classic. The ending was a bit... weird, i would like to see an another close, but i understand they had future plans with the IP. It's ok that Bethesda cancelled the development of the second game.

If you like shooters and Portal, you'll love this combination. It's also nice to have a Cherokee who isn't a caricature as the protagonist and hero. The story is engaging and sporadically immersing. There's one point where I screwed up and both I and the character simultaneously said, "Oh, s**t! What have I done?" I never had a jinx moment with an avatar before.… Expand

    It's so pregnant with ideas and beautiful movements that you'd be a sad fool to to deprive yourself of the experience. If the sequel is longer, a bit more difficult, and plays slightly more intelligently, then I can't imagine it being anything other than a Classic. [Aug 2006, p.58]

    Prey is touted as having an adaptive difficulty system -- the better you are, the better it gets -- and it really did seem to get harder as the game went on. As a result, there are just two difficulty settings, Normal and Cherokee, and I'd advise that even vets might want to give Normal a try on the first run out, letting the game's artificial intelligence pick up the pace to a comfortable level.

    Plot holes aside, the gameplay in Prey is nothing short of amazing. Whether you're wandering up walls, shifting gravity, shrunk down to the size of a mouse, going into spirit form, fighting in the afterlife, or floating around in a service vehicle... Prey has got everything anyone could want from a sci-fi shooter and more.
