    Story is whatever, didn't really pay attention but that might be my fault.
    The RPG mechanics are really not RPG mechanics like in Deus Ex, they are modern game upgrade mechanics because really you are just collecting things to get better at something (which works in Deus Ex) but I hate it here because Its too repetitive to do.

    Interesting story and setting, excellent gameplay and both known and unique game mechanics
    Good sound,music and atmhosphere.
    Took me around 23 hours to finnish and it felt not to short or to long

    Gameplaywise its a mix of bioshock and deadspace with a splash of Halflife

    The game is not perfect but it is pretty close

    Enemies are abit uninteresting and not very varied, but its kinda linked to the story
    The UI can be abit clunky and it took me a while to figure out to quickmap weapons etc
    The graphics and artstyle are by no means bad but might be a slight bit cartoonish, where i would have liked more of a deadspace or Re2 Remake astetic and look.
    And i would have like a little longer ending cutscene that explained abit more about what happend after

    But these are minor complaints, i fellt like i was back in the good old days of gaming where i just couldent wait to get home to play more    … Expand

    Prey is a great game overall, though it does have a few technical hiccups. It's a bit sad to see the same people who called Bioshock Infinite a masterpiece pretend that this game doesn't exist.

    If you want a great immersive sim with nice art, play Prey. Just be aware that the game is NOT a horror game, and will not deliver in that regard.

    Aviso de que escribo esto habiendo dejado el juego incompleto, ¿Por qué? Básicamente el sistema de combate me parece pésimo, pero la historia, ambientación y sonido de este juego son maravillosos. Si no te importa un sistema de combate malo y tosco como él solo, disfruta de una historia jodidamente inmersiva.

    I'm shocked I'm giving a game a 8 that I had expected to be nothing special. This game is what I wish more were. A tight driven narrative, but it gives you options to play about with the story too. Your choices aren't to simply get the ending you want, but to express yourself. That is because there are always at least 2 ways to solve any roadblock. I hate crafting at this point in games.I'm shocked I'm giving a game a 8 that I had expected to be nothing special. This game is what I wish more were. A tight driven narrative, but it gives you options to play about with the story too. Your choices aren't to simply get the ending you want, but to express yourself. That is because there are always at least 2 ways to solve any roadblock. I hate crafting at this point in games. So while it was here, it at least was simple. Every item can be turned into 4 basic material types and then built into whatever you need. I would rather that there was no crafting, but I think it is excusable here because it plays on scarcity of resources like games in the horror genre tend to, and yes this game is scary sometimes. I hate to say it, but I was on edge any time a new enemy showed up. Of course that wears off, so thankfully the game stands on its own. Because even after you get all the upgrades you'll need, and you start to bore of the same enemies and their tricks, the story is there for you. And in the very end it gives you an actual score screen. I haven't seen that in ages. So then you can simply go and try again. While the game is a little too long for me to want to replay for a better score, I would do it for a different playstyle for sure. It is just under 30 hours for me, and I took my time. You can probably do it in under 20 easily. I wish we had more games that didn't fluff up with nonsense and respected your time like this game. They made a clean design, where the space you play in is much smaller than most, but there is still so much to explore, and many interesting secrets and side quests. I didn't do them all in the end, and that is okay. I didn't expect to be this invested in the end. However I enjoyed myself...and that is a hard thing to get me to feel anymore with games. I genuinely wanted to play through to the end. I doubt I'll see another game like this for while. Everyone is too busy milking decades old franchises to death and adding in microtransations, but for a while I remembered what fun felt like with Prey. The one thing that held the game back was probably the combat and movement. I actually liked that there weren't 100 BS weapons you never use and just a handful because they all had a distinct job. However there was room to make it better. So the shotgun and pistol could be upgraded yes, but I would have liked to be able to ironsight for better range, or have crit spots on enemies for the pistol. They could have also made special ammo, like psi-bullets and elemental or explosive rounds, or armor piercing rounds to deal with different enemies. I again, found movement could have been used better. The only real upgraded around movement was to make you run and jump better. In the end, they gave a lot of what you needed and none of what would have been a clutter.

    And just to end it I will say I hope to get Prey 2006, which also seems like a good game and its just not easy to find, so looking forward to that game next maybe.    … Expand

Regardless, I consider this a must play for a unique gameplay with an excellent story.

    While several of the achievements are based on replay, I found myself feeling forced to push through the second and third, and the fourth time was almost painful. While I thoroughly enjoyed the game to start, I found that it was taxing to play again back to back. I would say that this is like a movie you would not want to miss and very glad you watched in the theater, most likely even buy it and own in your personal collection. However, you would most likely never watch it again.    … Expand

    The game features some of the world building I've ever seen. There snippets of information spread here and there and its up to you to piece the puzzle together. This is one of those games where getting spoiled really ruins a large part of the experience, since the joy and thrill of finding out what's REALLY going on is what keeps this game going. So stop reading reviews, and go get this game. It can probably be had for less than 10 bucks these days.    … Expand

    I want to say first off that I don’t think Prey was a bad game. Some of what I’ll say will sound a bit negative but overall it is a solid game. It is like a space version of Bioshock and Dishonored but it has worse combat than either of those. It has many things it did well but I didn’t enjoy the combat much.

It has many things it did well but I didn’t enjoy the combat much. I found there to be too few weapons to use for my liking. There is a shotgun; pistol and a wrench as your main weapons. There are some grenade type weapons you can use that have different properties and there are powers you can choose to learn. Overall though I wasn’t interested in the alien powers and found the environmental attacks such as throwing furniture at enemies cute but not something that I wanted to do often. I also didn’t like the zero gravity parts as I found moving around annoying as I kept flying past where I wanted to go. There were also some timed missions which is a game feature I despise. Another game idea I hate that was used was respawning enemies. After killing all enemies in an area I could return later and there were new ones there. Now they weren’t the same ones, it was trying to say that the aliens were moving about the ship and nowhere was safe but the timing was way off. I could leave an area and return seconds later and there would be new enemies. You may say the game doesn’t follow real time but the timed missions were indeed using real time so I maintain it was poorly done. Many objectives were also very vague about where to go or what to do. Others were very specific or easy to figure out so it was a toss up on whether I would enjoy the mission. Lastly I was hoping that there would be some explanation about just what the Nightmare Typhon was but it never came. This thing stalks you across the station and even if you kill the thing it will come back later and hunt you more. I thought that maybe it would play a bigger role than just annoying me but I was wrong.

    Now let me state what the game did well. The story was great and the further it got in the more I enjoyed it. I loved finding audio logs; emails; notes; etc that helped fill in the gaps on just what happened on Talos I. The voice acting was well done across the board. The trauma effects were fantastic. If you choose to turn it on there are trauma effects that can happen to your body based on certain injuries. You can become concussed; get radiation sickness; break bones; hemorrhage blood; etc. They were very well done in terms of the little details. When I was concussed everything became blurry at times and light was disorientating. When bones would break from a fall you could hear the bones crunch while walking and you limped. When you were hemorrhaging blood you left bloody footprints. The inventory system was well done and reminded me of Deus Ex. The system of being able to recycle items to build other items was well used. The graphics overall were pretty good. Facial detail and fire detail were a bit poor but the colour use was good as was the detail on weapons and objects.

    I played Prey on Linux using Wine and Lutris. The game did have some technical issues. It crashed to desktop while loading a game once. It also froze once during the end credits and once during game play. Overall the performance was good. It did get laggy for a literal second or two sometimes but it wasn’t frequent and it never lasted longer than a couple seconds. The frame rate was usually over 80 FPS. There are 5 graphics options; 4 AA options; 4 AF options; and an FOV slider that went from 60-120. Alt-Tab worked. You can manually save whenever you want aside from when on elevators. There are 20 save slots although with the auto saves the game does at points there can be more. I played version 10966486 (38551) from GOG. You can change the difficulty settings at any time.

    Game Engine: Cryengine
    Disk Space Used: 27.5 GB
    GPU Usage: 0-99 %
    VRAM Usage: 3255-4178 MB
    CPU Usage: 14-41 %
    RAM Usage: 3.0-4.4 GB
    Frame Rate: 27-144 FPS
    Settings used: Highest; SMAA2x; 16xAF; adaptive resolution off

    So in the end did I have fun ? I did. I didn’t enjoy all of the game but I enjoyed enough of it to finish it. The good outweighs the bad. I finished Prey in 26 hours 47 minutes. I paid $14.99 CAD for it and would place it’s value closer to the $20 range. If you’re looking for a pure shooter it won’t fit the bill but if you’re more into adventure than pure action than it has enough to offer.

    Pretty terribly designed game. The first actual gun you get (in an FPS) deals less damage than your melee attacks, and has extremely limited ammo. It has you run around in circles for the objectives, tells you to avoid confronting the monsters without giving any clue as to how, and it's buggy as hell, like any other Bethesda game. This game is not worth your time.

    Personally this game deserve 10/10 - The story is so good and the gameplay is sandbox fun. The old Prey is good on its own way but this new Prey is good too. If I were to choose which is fun for me, I will choose the new Prey as it is way polish good story and gameplay. Furthermore that unexpected twist. It deserves a good sequel to explore the universe further.

Subtracting 1 point because the third act of the game has you backtracking on old grounds a few times, which does feel like it pads out the experience a little. Otherwise, a near perfect offering.

    Good stuff, Arkane.    … Expand

    I was asking myself where would it go after the stellar opening? And the answer is pretty much nowhere. It stagnates for a couple of hours and then it ends. Ending is pretty good and makes you reframe the story. Too bad the meat of it is a bit lacking. The genre definitely does not seem to be my cup of tea.

I would say that all of the 23 hours of playtime that it took me to finish it were very polished and I enjoyed them all but, considering I did all of the side missions it can feel short for someone.

Ok first things first the game world/ space station is very nicely designed the devs obviously put alot of time / effort into it, and it shows although it must be said that even though this game is a few years old now even taking that into account the visuals are quite dated looking but being an old skool gamer pretty graphics is just a bonus if the game plays well, great! npc's/ enemies look terrible im talking ps2 era terrible and you cant help but keep noticing that, npcs they kind of get away with, but the bland enemy designs are lazy, im not exaggerating when i say 90% are different shaped purple blobs, with a few nice touches in between which i wont spoil, considering this is using the cryengine technically it is a mess and kind of broken, from some of the longest load times ive seen in 10 years and thats using an ssd to broken frame rates when alot is happening on screen multiple times especially with multiple lasers it dropped to 5-6 fps a few times i just assumed it crashed, there is also a crazy amount of bugs, from getting stuck in floors to quests glitching out to the classic out of no where u go flying across the screen to game over from nothing. Being published by bethesda at first i actually just assumed it was using their engine as the problems r very similar to fallout 4 and the game is very similar graphically especially with the crazy long load times on area change so i was surprised to see it was cryengine which is a technically impressive engine. So is the gameplay good? yes it is, you will start off seeing a single normal phantom as a 1 man army you try and take down, to 20+hours in expertly flying round cleverly using the games unique gloo gun to plan your routes, right from the start its clear u have to be careful with your resources which you do find everywhere but alot of it is recycling junk / unwanted items to then fabricate items you need, and it works superbly, multiple times i was preying (pun intended) for a recycle/ fabricate station to appear round the next corner, or those moments when i thought oh nice! gloo gun ammo! i kind of wish they had used more of the soundtrack / music as its really good and adds to the atmosphere just not enough of it, the sound effects are unique though if nothing special, there is a classic upgrade system for weapons and (skills) via mods which again works ok and plays a part in the story, again nothing special tbh its all been done before, and the story which is a big part of this game is a nice idea but unfortunately again very avg/ txt book and again all been done before, i did enjoy it but its been done alot better in other games like ones mentioned above. So it comes down to do the technical problems and other stuff spoil the game? well no not completely anyway but yes they did have a massive negative impact on the game overall for me, without spoilers towards endgame u have to traverse across the station which again is very txt book videogame and theres nothing wrong with that but i ended up thinking did the devs actually play this bit? in 1 mad dash bit across different areas it was literally 50% load times and again bear in mind im using an ssd on a decent gaming rig, for someone on an avg setup using an old skool hdd it is gonna be very frustrating. Its prey only in name :(

But it’s worthwhile to endure a frankly curve, in my opinion, the balance of the player’s initial potential against enemies thrown at him, and the game will sparkle with new colors. As a result, I put 9. Not 10 because of the large number of small bugs, one of which constantly led to death due to enemies right next to the exit from the elevator (bug - it’s impossible to leave the zone near elevator for several seconds, the player spins in place). So my rating for this game is 9.
    In this game, the action component is relatively normal, if you adequately approach the collection of resources/crafting ammunition and other things, then by the end of the game there will be no problems with inventory at all, and all weapons will be upgraded. Another point - only three of them matter in this game unfortunately. There are many different grenades to improve your tactics... and a weapon that you will use more often for closing holes and building stairs than as weapon itself.
    But everything outweighs the plot, environment and atmosphere. This game is incredibly interesting. A huge scientific space station, which is very interesting to explore, down to every corner of it. Excellent implementation of flights in a vacuum. A very interesting story that "pulls the rubber" of the whole game and reaches a climax only at the end of the game... but nonetheless.
    And the atmosphere: Horror and the unknown at the very beginning and until the middle of the game. And the unknown and dangerous from the middle to the end of the game.
    History outweighs all the flaws that could have been found here.
    The game has a dozen points of choice, "save or not", "leave or kill", and so on. So it is with skills too: use only human skills, or to risk installing aliens in yourself... but everything has its own price. Beware of being too greedy.    … Expand

    A decent game with a few bad issues.

    The pacing is way off. Powers are unlocked super slow for the first 2/3 of the game. You can't experiment with all the different powers available to you because there aren't enough ability points to try them, and there is way way to reset your points to put them into other things.

    The backtracking is excessive. I started skipping side quests during the last half of the game just because I didn't want go to back the same areas I've already been to 4 or 5 times for other side quests.

    The enemies hit too hard. I was playing on the normal difficulty and just about everything kills in 2 hits. There are 2 settings higher than normal so normal probably should have been toned down. Lots of fights I only got through by save scumming or cheesing the AI. Speaking of save scumming, the "quick load" key should load the last point where I used quick save, NOT the last time the game decided to auto save on its own (usually in the middle of a fight where I'm at 5 health).

    The nightmare events should have just been removed from the game. A giant alien comes from nowhere and you have to kill it or hide. Killing is out of the question because it just takes too much ammo, health, etc. So hide it is. You have to hide for 3 minutes. Three. minutes. Nobody likes sitting in a game doing nothing for 3 minutes. It's not fun, it will never be fun. But this game has you do it over and over and over again.

    Also there are two loading screens for every transition for some reason? The first loading screen actually has a progress bar, then when it fills up, it goes to... another loading screen, this one without a progress bar. Weird design choice.    … Expand

Arkane Studios have adopted a very similar art style for this game and at first I wasn’t sure if it was suitable for the setting. But the Talos 1 station is a like a huge art deco cruise ship floating in space and the painterly style used is actually quite appropriate. The game looks good and the CryEngine allows for some impressive physics. Gameplay is enjoyable, with satisfying combat and a wide range of abilities to experiment with. Although the enemies are visually simplistic they manage to create a palpable sense of impending danger and can be reasonably challenging to deal with. The mimics, in particular, help to keep the player on edge. The storyline is deeper and more convincing than in most games and the voice acting is good despite the low-key cast. There is a lot of backtracking but it never felt like a chore and the 75 hours I’ve put into the game were consistently enjoyable. I encountered several bugs, a couple of which prevented me from completing side missions, which was annoying but not a deal-breaker. All-in-all Prey is an accomplished game; it offers a decent bang for your buck; and it’s fun to play from start to finish (I haven’t purchased the Mooncrash DLC, so I can’t comment on that).    … Expand

    3 Repeat step No 1 and no. 2 x100000
    That is the whole game!!
    4. Try to find a bunch of junk, dumpster dive into trash to pick up banana peels and a roll of wires, because you will need to recycle a lot to have any sort of ammo and fixing your suit.
    5. The bigger monsters will teleport around you so you gonna be whacking around with your wrench (just like in Half Life 2, but the combat is a lot worse) , they will also teleport a fire or shock bolt whatever, so they are difficult.
    6. Back to the keys, you found the door that need to be opened after crawling around in shafts and figured out you can bash some windows in (others you can't) and/or found an alternate route 3 times on your way, because some other door (on your way to get a door key) was locked.
    7. Once you finally have the key, the game tells you to go back to the original location to open a safe or another door and finally you get either a video recording or voice recording plus 10 rounds to your pistol and maybe 1 health booster.
    8. The video tells you that you gonna have to go somewhere to repair or find someone (trust me he is dead, everyone dead in this game) , but in order to do that - you guessed it- find some other damn key and that key can be reached by only to find a key before that.
    This kinda drove me nuts. Also the monster aliens are respawned and you will be out of ammo and instead of looking for that damned key, you are trash collecting to make some bullets or glue ammo or whatever your favorite poorly performing weapon you settled on.
    While the game wants me to "sneak by" these monsters, because I'm weak, it forgets to mention, that many times it throws the biggest bullet sponge front of me and I gotta deal with it while it electrocutes me and if you put most of your points into sneaking, then you are now in trouble...
    Also the save system... is literally from 2002.
    The graphics is from 2006.
    The whole menu and inventory system is from 1998.
    The combat system is from probably 2005 or earlier, because it's really feels like I'm just waiving in the air and some display shows I did some damage, the weapons sound bad and feel nothing like weapons at all.
    I know, many people want hard games and this kind of a game (System Shock) is missing in action for a quite a while, but when I want to play something like System Shock, I don't literally mean that I want to play the same exact game, with obsolete functions and obsolete combat system, I mean heck, System Shock actually had a better combat than this.
    Anyway, beside combat and graphics and menu system, the real deal breaker for me is looking for keys to open the doors. It just can't be that anymore. We moved on from this.. I kinda had enough of that after Doom II in 1994...
    While I do like slow burning games, this game is literally patched together from similar previous titles, but did nothing to make it feel like it's 2017 (or 2019 was I'm writing this) .    … Expand

    Set in the Talos I space station, Prey stands as Arkane Studios's attempt to create a spiritual successor of sorts to the legendary System Shock 2. However, players are well advised not to walk into it expecting System Shock 3, on pain of courting disappointment.

However, players are well advised not to walk into it expecting System Shock 3, on pain of courting disappointment. Whereas SS2 was a hybrid between the immersive sim formula associated with Looking Glass Studios and survival horror elements centered on resource and tension management; Prey, on the other hand, eschewed any survival horror elements and focused on creating an ambitious immersive sim that gave the player ample gameplay and character-building options.

    At this the game undeniably succeeds, primarily through the diverse suite of powers - many of which are highly environmentally interactive and combat symmetrical - that are implemented. The powers are unlocked through the use of consumables dubbed Neuromods, and they include skills for combat, sneaking, manipulating the various interactive elements in the station, and an impressive suite of psychic abilities that allows the player to become an unstoppable Esper. This diversity of options in character capacities is definitely one of the perks of immersive sims, and it is something which Prey delivers in spades. Apart from this, the game also boasts excellent level design.

    The flip side of the game's plethora of options is that it suffers from some balance issues, as the player can become so powerful that even the strongest enemies eventually cease to pose a threat, not to mention that the abundance of Neuromods means that the player will often be able to pick so many abilities he will not even have to specialize in a given role.

    Nevertheless, the game's environmental storytelling and interaction, emphasis on observation, and an open-endlessness that minimizes scripting in advancing the narrative all ensure that there is a symbiosis between Prey's excellent lore-world building and its gameplay that is rare in gaming. That, and the qualities of said gameplay, make it a worthy successor to the classics that inspired it.    … Expand

    Arkane Studios has defined themselves as the successor of the "immersive sim" genre (basically old Looking Glass Studios games plus the original Deus Ex).

In fact Arkane's Dishonored series, and now Prey, are the ONLY modern games that try to create that kind of experience - aside from Ubisoft Montreal's Deus Ex prequels. That means I can play them using a controller, which is a big deal for me personally due to ergonomic issues.
    I also don't want to describe the game's premise and setting too much. In the event that you're reading reviews without learning much about the game so far, I think the experience would be even better if you go in knowing as little as possible.
    But if you don't know what this niche genre is all about, it's basically a FPS with RPG elements and a heavy focus on exploration and player freedom. For example if there's a locked door, you can almost always bypass it in two or more of the following ways: 1) find the keycard, 2) find the code, 3) hack it, 4) find an alternate entrance, and more.
    Stealth is very important because enemies can kill you fast, and guns need to be upgraded before they feel nearly as effective as guns in a typical shooter (and even then, it's not the same - it's not a shooter). A lot of the game is optional, and the story is told mostly through bits of lore from notes, emails, and audio logs. It has skill trees and inventory tetris.
    There's a lot of freedom in how you play. If you go straight through the main story, it could be pretty short. For reference, I play these games by exploring meticulously, collecting all the items, and killing all the enemies, and my current playtime is 30 hours with an estimated 15 or so remaining (and this is not including the DLC).
    Criticisms of the game so far:
    -Hard mode as well as the optional 'Survival' mechanics are too easy for me
    -Because there's so much freedom, many items of loot are found in multiple places, which means players who explore 100% will find redundant equipment
    -The game crashed once
    In summary my opinion is it's a sweet-ass game, and there's basically nothing else like it.    … Expand

    Now to prey:

    Cons:
    -The game gives you guns yet the game forces you to play stealth 90% of the time.
    -The enemies design is very bad and all the enemies looks the same.
    -Melee combat and glue gun are very boring to use.
    -Frustrating game overall. You sometimes die and don't even know what you did wrong.
    I stopped playing after 12h and it was not even the first times I tried playing it. I had 2 tried before that and each was about 6h and stopped. The third try was my last.

    Pros:
    -Beautiful visual style which reminds of Bioshock a visual style maybe therefore people comparing this to Bioshock?
    -Considering the crappy ports we are getting on PC, Prey optimization for PC are pretty good in comparison.

    People dare comparing this to Bioshock and Dead Space? it has nothing to do with either.

Once there, I got hooked with the crafting system and really enjoyed building up my character to be more strategically useful in certain scenarios. The character built feels less generic and more of a mix between deus ex and dishonored. Mechanics - spot on. The immersion that the characters and the fantastic space station create is something other game devs should take note of. Its very rare these days to see how your actions can noticeably create a sense of progression in your immediate environment. I truly felt my character belonged there, and with a cohesive effort from the others, tried to prevent or encourage a particular outcome.

    This is a must have, even if you don't like survival horror. Apart from the 2-3 jump scares(could be different for you), there is nothing scary about this game. Just an absolute joy from start to finish.

Exploring and will to check previous places just to find out what is behind those doors is present almost whole time. If you enjoy playing games and trying to get maximum from your character and what game provides, you will not be disappointed.

    I was not expecting much from the game as I had almost zero information about it. Once I found out what is going on and where this game is taking place it boosted the game a ton.

    - back to needing creative solutions - certain achievements like "no crew deaths" are near-impossible without meticulous planning, and near-guaranteed to fail due to unforgiving enemy AI
    - Derpy, stiff NPC facial animations don't do justice to the game's better-than-usual voice acting

The intro sequence is an amazing deconstruction of what in-game tutorials have become. As soon as the true game begins, you are on edge and the game finds way to consistently surprise the player and subvert expectations. This is a truly spooky sci-fi experience in the vein of System Shock. The thing you are fighting is truly alien and the game maintains a sense of mystery grounded in scientific writing that I found refreshing.

    The space station you explore is very well-crafted, with every environment having a believable purpose and interesting branching paths to traverse. The RPG skill system makes every choice relevant and affects the way you interact with the game world significantly. Where the new Deus Ex games kind of phoned in the environments (there was always a crate to move, or a duct to crawl through), here the "solutions" to traversing certain spaces are more complex and you may just not be able to get to certain places depending on the abilities that you choose. The game expects its players to be smart enough to figure things out on their own, which is a refreshing change of pace from most waypoint-centric systems.

    Combat is pretty brutal, but enforces the sense of tension that the game is promoting. You are stuck on a space station with a hostile alien force. The arsenal is kind of limited, but the game isn't really trying to be a shooter. Could have done with a bit more enemy variety, but you are face to face with a hostile alien species and it's nice that there is mystery to your nemesis. I didn't like the traditional guns much but playing as an engineer-type character that uses the gloo gun and wrench to dispatch enemies was fun and effective through most of the game.

    Overall, definitely worth a shot. It's an Arkane game that experiments in sci-fi rather than the Victorian occult that the Dishonored games went for. I haven't played the Mooncrash add-on but I hear that's a blast as well.    … Expand

    Overall it's not that bad, but it's not great either. The current average rating of 7.9, almost an 8 seems a bit much to me.

    The bad is the graphics. To me it's not as good as many claim. It's only a minor improvement over the 2008 original Prey. What puts me off, is the use of straight lines, squares, cubes to form shapes. Of course things are round, curved or sculptured where it's needed, but the overall tendency is a scenery build-up by straight lines. The colors are crisp, the resolutions are high, so that might give it an illusion of quality, but it's nothing impressive for a recent game.

    Another typical minus you'll see these days in games, is the ineffective use of graphics settings. We have textures - for example - the low settings, medium, high and very high. But both the visual difference and performance difference between these settings are minimal. Also anti-aliasing didn't perform optimal. Under certain angles, you still see the jagged lines on railings and between doors despite the highest settings.

    Now something about the game play. It was quote O.K. Nothing groundbreaking, but the good news is the upgrades one finds are useful. Many games offer a trillion upgrades and weapons and whatnot but usually only a handful are useful. Such is not the case here.

    With this, multiple solutions often do exist to solve one or the other problem, which almost always is a path-finding (or item-finding) challenge. The other good thing is that there seems to be multiple ways to kill the aliens, but the bad news is that the methods are based on the same principle of "stun/incapacitate, then kill".

    Three examples follow: the player could throw a special grenade which makes the monster stare at the grenade so you can sneak up on it and bash its head in. The second method could be that you use your GLOO gun, to shoot a glue-goo at the alien which immobilize it, so you can run to it and bash its head in. A third option is to electrically stun it with your stun pistol, then run to it and bash its head in.

    After a few times you've seen it all and done it all. Most playthroughs posted on the internet eventually result in run-and-shoot more or less. i tried a more intelligent approach each time but I got bored with it. Make sure they don't notice you, so you can execute the stun-then-gun method (or go full Rambo).

    Another thing to notice is that all enemies are kinda look-a likes, though one is bigger than the other. The atmosphere on the other hand is quite nice I must say.

    So all in all, this game has a promise of some depth and story wise it works for me. This game has its ups and downs, but in the end it's an elevated shooter with straightforward graphics.    … Expand

The Typhon are erratic and extremely fast, often teleporting behind you and behaving in extremely disorienting ways, and their movement effectively makes this game a twitch shooter, which feels unbelievably out of place seeing as this game emphasizes resource scarcity, and a slow, methodical playstyle. Not to mention the absolutely obnoxious, epilepsy inducing particle effects that will cover your entire screen in any fight with more than 2 of the Phantom enemies, and make it extremely difficult to tell where damage is even coming from in the first place. Some enemies will deal constant AoE damage to you within a certain range, and the game offers no reliable way of avoiding damage from many of its monsters, which made this game even on the easiest difficulty, an incredibly frustrating slog to get through. Some players seem not to have these issues at all and I envy them. There is so much to like here, but the bafflingly terrible combat design drags my score down from a 9 to a 5.… Expand

    Фантомы, мимики и автоматические операторы, которые постоянно спамятся на уже вроде бы очищенных локациях - вот и все чего вам нужно ожидать. Атмосфера давит первые пару часов и дальше любой человек привыкает к происходящему, далее меня лично одолевала скука и никакой шикарный дизайн уровней в стиле арт-деко тут дело не спасет.
    Что по сюжету?
    Опять страшная корпорация.
    Опять пропаганда о "блади комми" с ГУЛАГами, опять отсутствие импакта у оружия и опять прыгающий фпс, впрочем больше бесили долгие загрузки между локациями.
    Я понимаю, ведь железо у коробок отвратное, но мы-то причем?
    У меня конкретно гибридный HDD и как минимум час-полтора от прохождения мне пришлось потрать на загрузку уровней и шейдеров.
    Спасибо за обратный порт, беседка!
    Резюме:

    One of the most underrated games in 2017. More mechanics than in the bioshock and deus ex. Game isnt holding you for a fool. And one of the best sci fi stories .

    I really wanted to like Prey especially with it's strong opening and great level design. But I encountered at least a half dozen game ending bugs, bad story, backtracking, and awful zero G sections made me quit this one 20 hours in.

    When Bioshock and Dead Space give each other a special hug you get PREY. Atmosphere and ambience are amazing, the weapon variety is solid, the shooting mechanics are acceptable and the graphics are above average. This game is worth at minimum a rental but I recommend a buy. 10/10 Would special hug again.

    Prey is a game very much in the vein of System Shock and Bioshock. You play as Morgan Yu – or so everyone in the game tells you. You have amnesia, it seems, and a mysterious man named January has helped you escape while aliens run amok on Talos I, the space station you’re on. But this isn’t altruism – January wants something from Morgan. You see, everything has gone sideways; the aliensPrey is a game very much in the vein of System Shock and Bioshock. You play as Morgan Yu – or so everyone in the game tells you. You have amnesia, it seems, and a mysterious man named January has helped you escape while aliens run amok on Talos I, the space station you’re on. But this isn’t altruism – January wants something from Morgan. You see, everything has gone sideways; the aliens that were being experimented on have escaped from containment and are doing horrible things to the humans on board the space station. If even one of the aliens from the ship make it to earth, it is game over. There’s really only one solution – blow everything up, and make sure nothing gets off the ship.

    Are such extreme measures justified?

    Can January be trusted?

    And given that the world has very advanced simulations, and chips that can be implanted into your brain to give you new skills (and removed to take away your memories), can *anything* you see really be trusted?

    Throughout the game, this is tested repeatedly, as you are beseeched by survivors to rescue them, have mind-controlled humans thrown at you in suicidal attacks by aliens, and your big brother – Alex Yu – asks you to listen to him and trust him, despite the horrible experiments which have been done on Talos I. And if you pay close attention to various aspects of the environment and game design, you might get even more suspicious, doubly so when you start reading about just what some of the experiments were. The many hints dropped throughout the game about the true nature of what was going on worked really well, and kept me nice and paranoid all the way through to the end.

    Prey, like many games, has a morality system, but unlike many games, the game actually hides it; rather than the morality system being anything obvious, any sort of meter, it is dictated by your actions over the course of the game. You are constantly exposed to contradictory directives – you yourself, in a memory gambit, left behind multiple conflicting goals for yourself, and you have to choose which of them are right. Worse, when dealing with people who were involved in various experiments – or who are prisoners who were sentenced to death for terrible crimes – should you save them, or is it right to leave them to die, or even kill them yourself? Is January’s callous action – that blowing the whole place up is the only way to be sure – a sign of his sociopathy, or is he encouraging you to do the right thing?

    The core gameplay itself consists of exploring the space station while using a variety of weapons to combat both the aliens and a few robots corrupted by their control. Morgan starts out with the classic wrench, but over the course of the game finds a small but versatile armory – a pistol, a shotgun, a long-ranged beam weapon which can cause aliens to explode when they’re fried with it enough, a zappy stun gun that is great for stunning things and damaging electronics, a gun that shoots a powerful industrial adhesive which can be used for both messing with enemies as well as shutting down environmental threats and scaling walls, and a handful of creative grenades that, rather than simply exploiding, do things like recycle all nearby material into base components or send out an EMP shock wave or attract enemies. There is even a nerf gun in the game which seems useless at first but which can be used to push buttons from a distance or blow up mines.

    This is a game about using what you have to your advantage, and most situations can be approached in a variety of ways. You can sneak past enemies, or sneak up on them and attack them, or use the station’s turrets to supplement your firepower. You can acquire alien psionic abilities, but at the potential cost of your humanity, and automated defense systems which are designed to protect against aliens will also start protecting against *you*. You can spend the materials you manage to scrounge up on making more ammo, or on improving your weapons, or on crafting neuromods to enhance your base talents. And even navigating the environment often allows multiple routes – hacking your way through doors, finding keycards or key codes, finding a secret route into the room through the crawlspaces, using the typhon mimic ability to turn into a coffee cup and roll in through a gap, break a hole in the glass window and shoot your nerf gun in across the room to punch a button to open the door on the other side…

    Many, many parts of the game can thus be approached in a wide variety of ways, giving the player a broad spectrum of potential axes of approach. Better still, trying to do the same thing over and over again is likely to result in you running short on a necessary resource – simply running around shooting everything will rapidly deplete your ammo, forcing you to either use a different weapon, or rely on other abilities to see your way through.

    Prey is a magnificent game. You'll spend at least 25 hours in the game to beat it if you complete most of the side quests, and you won't regret a single second of it.
    The game is essentially a better version of Dead Space, but less linear and incorporates BioShock mechanics as well as a deep story and a reasonable amount of freedom for you to approach your objectives. STORY    INTRO
    Prey is a magnificent game. You'll spend at least 25 hours in the game to beat it if you complete most of the side quests, and you won't regret a single second of it.

    The game is essentially a better version of Dead Space, but less linear and incorporates BioShock mechanics as well as a deep story and a reasonable amount of freedom for you to approach your objectives.

    STORY
    If you enjoy space movies, particularly ones relating to habitation in a space vessel, station, or base, you're in for a treat. The first of its kind for a video game, Prey is about a lone survivor who has been deserted on a space station that has been taken over by sentient alien lifeforms.

    Waking up one day and not remembering anything that happened in the past, as you explore the station and progress, you will find out more and more about what happened to the station and what their crew specializes in: alien technology research.

    You find out that you have a sibling who is also alive on the station, but all is not as it seems as there is a more ulterior motive behind what's going on in the station and your sibling is following their own agenda.

    GAMEPLAY
    This game is not a hardcore alien shooter. It's closer to a game like BioShock or Dishonored where you have many weapons and abilities at your disposal and can mix and match play styles as necessary.

    Similar to the Dishonored series or recent Deus Ex games, there is a skill system where you distribute "Neuromods" to the particular skills you wish to acquire in order to improve your character or allow you to do more in the game.

    There are all sorts of enemies in the game and each of them have their own strengths and weaknesses. You are required to research them in order to learn new alien abilities and to know the best way to deal with them. Ammunition isn't overly abundant in the game, so you do need to avoid being wasteful to a degree.

    One unique mechanic of Prey is that you are able to fly in space and zero-gravity areas in the station. It is clear that Bethesda spent a lot of time on this mechanic, as it is very realistic and very satisfying to play.

    Although quests are spread out all across the station, the game is enjoyable enough that going back and forth from place to place isn't a total chore. It's fun to explore every nook and cranny and to collect things. A lot of work was placed into map design. Exploring new areas is interesting as no two places are the same.

    Bethesda incorporated a stealth system into the game like they did in Dishonored, but it's somewhat weak and doesn't reward you in any way for it. Personally, I feel that Prey is better enjoyed by just playing it without focusing on stealth. The game wasn't built to be played a second time, and wasn't meant for you to let enemies stay alive. The game is already difficult enough as it is.

    The only complaint I have with the game is the insignificance of many mechanics that are incorporated but are seemingly meaningless in the game. For example, radiation is virtually a non-issue, and most of the Typhon Neuromod upgrades are not needed to beat the game even though there are plenty of them to choose from. This causes the game to be a little one-dimensional.

    SUMMARY
    There's not much more I can say about the game. I definitely recommend playing it as it is unique and well-designed. The story is immersive and it is fun to think of the best way to approach a situation.

    I strongly advise installing the game on an SSD since you will often need to go from area to area and the load times can get annoying after a while.

    I give this game a 9 out of 10 for being a memorable experience. If I ever need to recommend a space station exploration game, Prey is definitely one of them.    … Expand

    NOT A FUN GAME, UTTERLY BORING, AND FRUSTRAITINGLY ANNOYING TO PLAY 3/10, NOT CHALLENGING ONCE YOU FIND OUT THAT MAXING OUT COMBAT EARLY IN THE GAME HELPS A TON (not an issue, i actually recommend you do this, cus the game is annoying af), A BIG WASTE OF TIME, STEALTH IS A JOKE

    Let me start out by saying that this game is quite challenging. Even at normal difficulty I found myself    NOT A FUN GAME, UTTERLY BORING, AND FRUSTRAITINGLY ANNOYING TO PLAY 3/10, NOT CHALLENGING ONCE YOU FIND OUT THAT MAXING OUT COMBAT EARLY IN THE GAME HELPS A TON (not an issue, i actually recommend you do this, cus the game is annoying af), A BIG WASTE OF TIME, STEALTH IS A JOKE

    Let me start out by saying that this game is quite challenging. Even at normal difficulty I found myself struggling to stay alive due to the ridiculously low amount of supplies you receive. At this difficulty, I found myself in a position where I really wasn’t enjoying the game. I had to sneak passed enemies, which took forever; all the sneaking bored the hell out of me. Ultimately, I lowered the difficulty to easy and was able to enjoy the game a lot more. No longer did I have to wait monumentally long seconds for an enemy to pass. Instead, I could now blast them with my pistol or shotgun without worrying whether I’ld run out of ammo. However, even at the lowest difficulty, the game still presents you with a challenge of ammo conservation; so, easy on the trigger fellas – ya’ll going to need to save your ammo. Prey is not your average shooter, it’s a slow paced “survival horror”.

    Story is quite interesting; I will have to update this review further down the line when I finish the game. The maps and UI are kind of confusing at first, but you’ll later get used to it. Enemies are fairly challenging, but all enemies can be quickly dispatched with guns – if you have the ammunition.

    UPDATE: Oh man, is this game annoying to play. You will consistantly find yourself taking on a side mission, only to find out that you do not have a certain skill level to complete that task. By the time you find out, you've trecked accross the map and wasted monumental amounts of time & a♥♥♥♥♥♥ton of limited resources.

    The game likes to lock you out from key main story areas if you don't upgrade your character in a certain way. I had to waste upgrade points just to get through a certain door, no other alternatives but to upgrade. I tried looking for hidden paths but nothing popped up; ultimately had to upgrade hacking to open a door. Rather would have used them upgrade points on more usefull skills on the tree. Ultimately, you are going to waste a lot of time grinding for upgrades. Recommend you avoid this game if your time is valuable to you.

    This game is hard to enjoy, combat is pretty wack. I utterly regret buying this game.

    UPDATE: finally finished the game, thank god! It felt like i was taking a bullet out of me. Honestly, this game isn't worth the play through. It was more annoying than fun. Even after i learned how to dispose of all enemies effectively, it was still annoying to play. overall, i give the game a 5/10. buy it when it hits 10 bucks, or dont buy it at all. its a waste of time and has too much back tracking and area lock outs for you to even enjoy. Not to mention the subpar combat system. This is that old school type of game that I wish stayed dead. its tedious af, and annoying af.    … Expand

    Many of its elements never quite come together, so there’s no payoff. The clumsy human stories, the botched difficulty curve, the dangling gameplay threads, the pointless decisions, the cool 3D printer scavenging economy, the coral, the hunters, the various survivors who need saving. If I never had fewer than a dozen mana potions, what did it matter whether I did the quest to put mana healing into the water supply?

    Prey offers one of the best gaming environments in the history and builds on it its sophisticated, exciting, and unusually entertaining gameplay. A weaker story and sometimes too high difficulty does not change the fact that Arkane studios has once again produced something special. [Issue#275]
