    This is a fun game. I found it mostly enjoyable and immersive.
    When I play this game I don't want to stop.
    I spent a lot of time just mucking around putting all objects I could pick up from all the rooms in the Talos lobby into the exhibition room just because I can and I like doing it.

    I liked thoroughly exploring every area and trying to find everything.

    The story is ok, but not exciting or interesting enough.

    I dislike that enemies are kind of boring all are way too simular black gloopy things of various size. Combat doesn't feel fun, it feels strange and floaty.
    There weren't any fights that were particuarly thrilling or exciting.

    Never bought the DLC as I found out it is timed, I hate anything that is restricted by time as I like to take my time and thoroughly explore and not have to rush, I also dislike and don't play any rogue type games, so this DLC is everything I dislike in a game.

    It can be buggy as when I got enough points to hack the safe at the start lab area I could jump down but could not go back through as the helicopter room walls had no openings to go through. I managed to jump back up, though that area should not be blocked and is a bug.

    It's an enjoyable and fun game to play through at least once. The ending was interesting, though quite disappointing.    … Expand

    A game where you explore for vast amounts of time needs appropriate music, look at how well Deus Ex Human Revolution did it especially the Sarif Industries theme. It makes you enjoy the atmosphere and exploration 10 times more. I wasn't grabbed by the story personally and the game is woke, at least I didn't pay for it as it was a giveaway from Epic.

The biggest problem in this game is a quest structure... Almost every quest is looking exactly the same... You need to avoid enemies while searching for as many key cards you can find and next you need to find the doors that you need to open. At the beginning it's fun but when you realize that this game can't offer you anything besides this scheme it's totally messed up experience. Fighting in this game is a one big misunderstanding... Enemies are very strong and can kill you very quickly but you are constantly running out of ammo or stamina to defend yourself. And even if you beat tough enemy your reward will probably be some worthless junk like banana peel... Seriously? After 10 hours of playing pray is becoming so boring and frustrating... Enemies are everywhere and you are running out of ammo, out of room in you backpack out of ideas where to find another KEY CARD! When you'll reach your destination, sneek pass or kill every enemy, searched every corner for loot... You'll probably realized that you missed somewhere a KEY CARD. This game would be a 6 hours long if you throw out all the searching for those stupid KEY CARDS to all the doors. Maybe I am just not patient enough or maybe I just played this game somewhat differently than others... But this game wasn't for me at all... I really do understand now why this game never reached a wider audience.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is an okay game by the end of it. I have just completed it. It took a fair amount of time so is good enough to keep me playing. However, about half way through it became clear that a bunch of the story doesn't make sense. Key things that make you go... what? It loses its gameplay edge fairly early on too as it is clear exactly how much repetition and constant backtracking there needs to be. Some of the side quests are buggy. Some of them are stupid and could be resolve din 20 seconds if the protagonist could speak which he cannot. It is very 'woke'. Some people won't care or possibly notice but many will and I find it yet another attack on society through popular media, it is tiresome and over represented to an absurd level. There are better graphics out there but these fit with the game and are pleasant to look at. The biggest frustration however is the ending. You rush madly to fulfil your decision (which is a pretty polar opposite decision by the way and there appears to be little information to work with other than how you feel about life. Risk based decisions REQUIRE risk analysis conversation and resolution. I won't type much more in here to avoid clear spoilers but the potential was missed. Then, even missed you expect some narrative completion but no... Instead it is over UNTIL a secret extra ending at the end of the credits. This ending is just a giant gift of **** given from Bethesda to us. It is a classic NO NO NO, in story telling. It was not a clever twist, it undoes so very much of everything, makes light of the work you have done (and I'll be honest, at times I approached this game like it was work) and basically 'I woke up, and it was all (mostly) a dream is a slap in the face with a floppy.

    Большая проблема, что патроны кончаются, а заново их в тех же местах, где их нашёл, не найдёшь, и то же самое с материалом из которого можно скрафтить патроны - лут тупо не возобновляется. Поэтому порой игра ставит тебя в тупик, что очень раздражает.
    Хоррор из игры получился неплохой, хорошие эффекты, поведение врагов - одного монстра даже зовут Полтергейст. А сражения с монстрами нелепы тем, что экран становится очень контрастным и тёмным в момент битвы, а так как все враги чёрные, ты их не видишь. Специально это или нет, но это очень злит, ведь это даже никак не исправить. Второстепенные задания весьма неинтересные и ими игрока сильно грузят, из-за чего геймплей увеличивается втрое.

When you know where the story is ultimately going, it's not conducive to making people care about what happens along the way.

    There was plenty of other stuff not to like too, like the resource harvesting grind, the unsatisfying and overly complex combat against damage sponge enemies that are much the same black smear or annoying bots.

    There's one enemy that is hilariously lame and deserves special mention, because I think it's one of the most poorly designed enemies I have experienced in gaming. When you encounter this enemy, literally the best way of dealing with it is to simply walk away and do something else or check your phone for a few minutes while it's screeching away in the background. Yeah, it's an enemy so ridiculous the best way of beating is to stop playing the game!

    There was plenty of good too, like the exploration, interesting and much more enjoyable side quests, organic upgrading and the multiple approaches to objectives. A lot of this was well thought out and I had a lot of fun trying different things, or even discovering I could have done *this* instead of *that*. The good stuff was good enough to keep me going through the whole game to the end.

    Unfortunately the obviousness of the main story and the complete apathy it induced towards the NPCs and the main quest ruined the game for me. I was hoping it was going to surprise and not do the obvious, but it didn't. I killed them all in the end, and didn't feel bad about it in the least.

    Also, the game seemed to become increasingly unstable the further I progressed, with crashes on transitioning maps, disappearing weapons, passive enemies and more.

    I'd like to see another game with the good parts but with a less brain dead setting and more interesting enemies.    … Expand

    This game is not for everybody. I expected "Dishonored in space" and that's not exactly what Prey is. It's way more stealth based, slow and your character is for most of the game hugely under-powered. I love Arkane and Prey definitely isn't a bad game, just a one I didn't enjoy as much as I thought.

Not once did it take control away from me and made me watch TV instead of playing a game; whatever there was to do by the player character was either done by me or not done at all. For once I wasn't just the stuntman who got to shoot a gazillion enemies and nothing else only to watch some other dude getting all the good scenes. It was always me, always from my perspective, and yet it still made some amazing moments happen that were all so much sweeter because it didn't just cut to a prerendered video. Prey dared to losen that death grip those wannabe Spielbergs that make games these days normally force on your experience, and yeah, sometimes I had to actually look for answers, and every once in a while I got stuck because it wasn't enough to enter a room and have a cutscene play that moved the plot forward, but it was so much more memorable that way.

    I really hope that in the current climate, where more and more big releases fail and people are just bored, someone will remember this one and give the formula another try.    … Expand

You can use recycled components to upgrade your weaponry. The story is intriguing and keeps you engaged throughout. There are plenty of side missions that net you those all-to-necessary upgrade resources, and books and audio logs scattered about to fill out the ambience of the world.

    My main gripe with the game is that you spend too much time doing inventory management. You have a system similar to RE4, with each item or gun taking up some number of slots that you're busy shuffling around and debating which things to toss and which things to keep to try to drag to the nearest recycler. If their goal was to try and limit how many of the game's various guns you could have on you, or to limit the number of other tools, they could have implemented something a little more elegant that wouldn't have left you slugging down 13 cans of various drinks you'd intended to take to the recycler but now have to be tossed to make room for the extra wrench you found whose materials are more valuable to you.

    I want to start with a note: all people have wrong expectations about Prey. This game is so much more than mimics pretending to be a coffee cup)) This is a great mix of shooter, crafting, looting and exploring. The spirit of half-life u can feel all the time. Level design is great, as well as graphics and music/sound. Overall quality is very high. Almost a masterpiece.

    The entire lore is tainted with politics. You'll hear multiple audio logs where a guy calls a chick and basically says he's a moron and needs her to explain something. Or you'll have the typical pretending that chicks are into guys;' hobbies, like paper RPGs. And of course they are better and win without even trying, while guys get angry and try to change rules on the fly.

It's a game that's an obvious love letter to the already mentioned System Shock 2, but the real star of this game is the space station on which it takes place: it's amazingly well realized, built like a real structure and not a video game level, but is still an absolute blast to explore. Its small, isolated setting also allows the writers to build up relationships in the crew: as you explore, you get little windows into the people that inhabit the station, how they felt about each other, and their histories. I've read other reviews claiming the story is bland, and I guess if you summarize it that's true, but the story here is more about the telling than the arc as a whole, and it's told just extremely well.

    Gameplay-wise—and I feel this is often true of Arkane's games—starts out a little punishing until you get the hang of it. Then the sandbox opens up and you really get to play it your way. A lot of the objectives have more than one way of solving them, and it's fun to realize other possible solutions even after you've completed one. The rest of the mechanics are challenging to discuss without spoilers, but suffice to say you end up unlocking some very unique powers, and there are many interesting ways to build up your character. The way you construct items is also the best application of a resource collection and crafting mechanic I've seen in this sort of game, just absolutely wacky, satisfying, and delightful.

    Something about this game that I haven't seen discussed often but deserves special mention: the UI/UX is so incredibly fantastic. The menus are thoughtful, inventory management works great, the whole thing just plays so smoothly. Whoever worked on it should be immensely proud.

    I can't believe this didn't make a larger splash when it first came out; had it not been free on Epic Games I'm not sure I would've ever noticed it. Play this game, spend some hours with it before you judge it, and I think you'll have a wonderful time.    … Expand

It's a very subtle game and a damn fun one. Blink and you'll miss something. The world building and depth of this game just shows Arkane Studio's talent. There really is no game like it. Most of the haters fall into two camps; "It's too complex and not Call of Duty and it plays bad on my potato" and "aksually Prey 2". Both can be debunked pretty easily so I won't bother going into detail but; "It's design is supposed to be complex and for fans of the Immersive Sim" and "They were two separate projects and Arkane doesn't deserve the hate because of Bethesda's decision to can one of them". Now I want to talk about why it captivated me so quickly, the answer is BioShock, my second favorite game and one I also really enjoy. The two go together quite well thematically and compliment each other's strengths. I really do love this game and it deserves more love and a sequel. So please stop with the misinformed hate and try the game out with an open mind and get over the fact it isn't meant for casual play, it's really all or nothing with this game. And it's not horror.

    It also has one of the best ways I ever seen on how to teach the game lore. Many of the crew members have a story behind and are interconnected and you learn it from small pieces that you gather all around the station.

    Firstly, it’s important to recognize how beautiful, meticulous, and inspiring the presentation is, from the visionary, slick designs, all well-fitted together both stylistically and thematically, to the soundscape, dripping with atmosphere wherever you go. And you can go to lots of different places, all distinct in how they portray the environments, their function, and the traces of lives and activities of the space station inhabitants. Impressively, Talos I comes together as a cohesive, believable place, and manages to provide an assembly of intricate, engaging levels to explore at the same time.

    But it might feel like how you explore them becomes underwhelming closer to the second half of the game. Progression gives you different abilities to solve roadblocks and go confidently through obstacles, but because their design needs to accommodate the players that might not have certain abilities, there often, if not always, seems to be a way to bypass said obstacles and roadblocks with some clever use of movement systems, consumables and your glue gun (a wonderful tool and a fearsome weapon!). The latter way is more daring, more roguish, it feels like you are bending the rules a bit - so it feels more fun, which kinda defeats the purpose of a lot of “exploration” upgrades. It’s optimal to instead spend your progression currency on combat skills, but they’re mostly boring stat increases, and the combat isn’t that deep in the first place. Don’t get me wrong, the whole thing functions the first time you play it, combat encounters can be quite tactical and very dramatic, but I struggle to see any enticement to the second playthrough without some self-imposed limitations because, otherwise, the core gameplay is a little too chaotic for the mood the game sets, and the skill tree is fairly unbalanced, lacking clear intention. I noticed a similar lack of intention to loot, where there’s plenty of stuff yet only a few things really count, but the ingenious crafting system that allows disassembling anything into a few primary materials kept it from getting boring.

    Exploration also doesn’t benefit from the numerous loading screens, and the story does make you backtrack quite a bit towards the end, but it’s nothing outrageous. The plot keeps you on your toes almost the whole ride, it’s complex, psychological stuff, elevating the traditions of classic space horror tropes from Alien and alike to new heights with memory shenanigans, dysfunctional family issues, twist ending, and some actually well-written side stories from the voice logs.

    Overall, the space station Talos I is well worth exploring, but be mindful of the difficulties Prey’s core system struggle through.    … Expand

I didn't come back because my Gamepass expired and this game sort of fell off my radar. But since then, I played Dishonored 1 & 2 as per my cousin's recommendation, and then I bought Prey since a friend enjoyed it and it's made by Arkane, the same studio that made Dishonored, which I really loved and would recommend also. I'm a little thicker skinned now, so I pushed through the scary moments, and I've found that this game is amazing!

    It morphs from a semi-horror survival game into an action game seamlessly as you progress. The key is that you need to realize this is not a mindless first person shooter. This is a strategic survival-action immersive sim with some brain teasing side content thrown in if you are up for it. Despite what you may have heard, the combat is suburb once you get the feel for it. It’s just that effective fighting requires thought and strategy rather than running and gunning like a standard shooter.

    The full story when including a few important side missions is amazing and it’s amplified by the dense, well-thought-out world building that permeates every aspect of Talos I. The third act is a little controversial, but I personally found it satisfying. I would recommend that you take the time to explore side missions, listen to audio logs, and read random books and emails. All this will really add interesting detail to what could otherwise seem like a straight-forward narrative. To appreciate the story, you have to realize that the main character is Talos I. Not you.

    The sound design is awesome. Every sound adds to the atmosphere of the station, and despite what you may have heard, the mixing is fine if you don’t turn the volume too high during ambient, quiet periods. Some of the dialogue audio quality can sound a tad bit odd, but all the scifi sfx and the aliens are so cool to hear.

    AI is good. The mimics are very cool and have a mind of their own. The other aliens aren’t the brainiest enemies you’ll outwit, but they make up for it by being powerful and terrifying. If you turn on all subtitles, that can help.

    Graphics are great. The humans don’t always look amazing, but they’re certainly serviceable, and you don't see them most of the time anyway. The art style of the station and the enemies and the effects are all suburb. Arkane has always been really great with their games’ art directions.

    Bugs were not a big issue for me. They only occurred once in a great while. At one point, I got outside the map, which I thought was a cool peek behind-the-scenes. An enemy got under the map once and was able to attack me still, but it didn’t cause too much trouble. I also got the character stuck until I used an ability to escape, which was kind of an interesting puzzle. Note, this is after 80+ hours spent with the game.

    The only problem I have with any system design is a certain enemy that can easily be cheesed, and can kind of temporarily mess up the pacing, but this is just a nitpick. it doesn’t detract since you can just leave the area if you want.

    Overall, I would give this game a 9.6/10. It’s amazing how all the systems work together seamlessly and give you so many creative ways to tackle any given problem. You will never get tired of experimenting with new ideas here. I’ve had a blast with this game, and I hope you do too.

    There's another part to my review, but it spoils some stuff, so play the game first then come back. You should experience it for yourself before hearing my take. Trust me. When you've played the game (twice is even better), here's a link to my full review:

    I can't get myself to finish this game because it is boring. The weapons are mostly garbage aside from a mediocre shotgun that Bioshock did much better.

And I don't mean cut-scenes as there are hardly any. This endless chatter happens as you are playing. If you really wanna know what is happening in the story then you better be prepared to hide every minute just to catch up. It breaks the immersion so much, what a shame.… Expand

    Arkane comes through once again with another immersive sim, this time taking heavy inspiration from System Shock. And for the most part, it's a really great experience.

And for the most part, it's a really great experience.

    Narratively, Prey follows some of the tried and true sci-fi tropes, but adds enough flair to keep things engaging from start to finish. I loved reading the interpersonal stories of the different crew members, and I was definitely stressing about my choices leading up to the end. Much like the opening, the ending itself is really fun and interesting... but it lacks polish. If rumors are to be believed, Arkane was reworking the endings and had to rush to meet deadlines so they weren't able to give it quite as much time as it needed, which is a bit of a shame. Still, it's a very interesting ending and I like it, but it could have been executed better.

    Combat wise Prey isn't amazing but it's definitely solid, and the enemies are really cool. Normally I think jumpscares are weak horror devices, but the way they're contextualized here makes them actually pretty fun. Having to worry about shapeshifting mimics makes the simple act of interacting with objects an interesting gameplay loop. And while they lose their luster by the end, they're still cool nonetheless and they make exploring new areas a really fun and tense experience.

    Speaking of exploration, I think it's probably the best aspect of the game, with a **** load of different ways to explore the station. Arkane's whole "Play your way" initiative is still going strong here, and most areas or objectives have a multitude of ways to reach them, usually depending on your character build or your attention to environmental detail. For me that's where the real charm of the gameplay comes in - A lot of the combat can be completely ignored, you can utilize typhon abilities to shapeshift, you can do things earlier in the game that make it easier later on, and much more. I found it particularly fun to search around for alternate paths into locked rooms, and the first time I came across a "Telepath" enemy was a great moment that I wont spoil here.

    The exploration is also helped by the fact that the space station itself is really well designed from a visual standpoint. With a nice mix of art deco and mechanical designs, and a distinct blue and Gold color palette. The more traditional "space station interior" areas of pipes and gray walls were a lot less interesting to me personally, but the beautiful design of places like the Lobby, the Crew Quarters and the Arboretum certainly make up for it.

    Prey also has really solid sound design, with creepy typhon noises and station ambience. Mick Gordon's soundtrack is fantastic, and I've said it before but this game confirms it; guitars slap for sci-fi things and you can't tell me otherwise.

    Voice acting is also great with Benedict Wong turning in an awesome performance as Alex... It's just a shame that the audio team weren't aware that the mics should have been a few inches farther away from the actor. Either that or they need a better audio editor for the dialogue.

    There are a few other issues I have here and there, with some sections overstaying their welcome and some so-so mechanics like the hacking (though to be fair, has hacking ever been good in a video game??) Overall though, this is a really fun experience and it's a damn shame that it didn't sell well. But I guess that's what happens when 80% of the gaming community is a bunch of f*ckheads who would rather just play the same 3 things every year, and then cry about not having any "new" or "different" games to play instead of expanding their horizons. Also probably because Bethesda made the boneheaded decision to name it after a game from 2006 that next to no one remembers.

    Prey is a really great game. I’ll describe it as a blending of Bioshock and Deadspace. My first run took 49hrs so there’s lots to do and see and once complete you unlock extra difficulty options for repeat runs. I hope they make a sequel!

    14 saatin sonunda bitirdim. Normalde bu tarz yan görevlerin ve keşfin bol olduğu oyunların her yerine girer çıkarım ve her şeyi yapmaya çalışırım. Nitekim bu oyunda ilk yarısında öyle oynadım.

Normalde bu tarz yan görevlerin ve keşfin bol olduğu oyunların her yerine girer çıkarım ve her şeyi yapmaya çalışırım. Nitekim bu oyunda ilk yarısında öyle oynadım. Görev harici her yere girip çıkıyor, zor olsa da key card bulup odaları keşfediyordum. Gördüğüm yan karakterlerin görevlerini aksatmıyordum. Ancak ilk yarısından sonra oyunda neredeyse hiç yan görev yapmaz oldum ve düz ana görevden ilerledim. Bunun ilk nedeni etrafta dolaşmanın zor olması. Her yere girmek için nerede olduğu bilmediğiniz bir key card bulmanız gerekiyor. Bir iki neyse de bir yerden sonra sıktı ve uğraşmak istemedim. Diğer nedeni aynı yerleri dolaşıp durmaktı. Farklı görev için geçtiğiniz aynı koridordan ellinci kez geçmek sıktı. Normalde açık dünya oyunları bunu fast travel ile çözerler. Oyuncu aynı yerden geçip durmasın, sıkılmasın diye. Bunda o özellik de yoktu. Diğer yandan sürekli spawnlanan düşmanlarla uğraşmak baydı. Lan aynı koridordan ellinci kez geçiyorum zaten, bir de aynı düşmanı aynı yerde neden karşıma çıkarıyorsun. Combat zevkli değil ki üstelik. Bir de çoğu yan hikaye olarak tatmin edici değildi. Onu oraya götür, şu bozulmuş tamir et. Bunların peşinde saatlerce koşmak istemedim.

    Konuşmayan karakterimizle, tesiste yaşanan felaket hikayesiyle bana Half Life'ı anımsattı. Keşfe açık olması, her yere girip çıkabilmeniz ve keşfederken kullanacağınız yöntemin (hack, ağır eşya kaldırma gibi) tamamen sizin oyun tarzınıza ve dağıttığınız skill puanlarına göre belirlenmesi serbest bir oyun deneyimi sağlıyor. Skilleriniz ikiye ayrılıyor, büyü gibi doğa üstü yetenekler ya da mühendislik falan yeteneğiniz artırdığınız insani yetenekler. Büyü çok kasarsanız korkunç yaratıklar peşinize düşüyor, daha çok kaos oluyor, normalde size saldırmayan taretler sizi düşman olarak algılıyor.

    Oyundaki craft sistemini beğendim. Topladığınız ıvır zıvırı geri dönüşümde organik madde gibi şeylere dönüştürüp, 3d yazıcıda onları hammadde olarak kullanıyorsunuz.

    Düşmanlar çok çeşitli olmasa da yaklaşımınız düşman türüne göre değişiyor. Hepsinin zaafı olan silah veya skill farklı. O nedenle tek bir silahla oynayamıyorsunuz.

    Hikaye anlatım tekniğini çok sevmedim. Notlar, ses kayıtları ya da telefonla görüşmelerle hikaye anlatılıyor. Bunları takip etmesi bir süre sonra yorucu hale geliyor.

    Oyunun sonunu yani yaşadıklarımızın bir simülasyon olduğunu tahmin etmiştim ama yarı insan yarı yaratık olduğunu ve dünyanın zaten mahvolduğunu düşünememiştim.

    Sonuçta teoride güzel oyun olsa da atmosferi ve tekrar eden görev yapısı nedeniyle bir süre sonra sıkıyor.    … Expand

    Progresión de personaje: Muy logrado con varios caminos por lo que optar que invitan a volver a jugar subiendo un árbol de habilidades distinto. Muchas de las habilidades desbloqueadas son nuevas funcionalidades que tienen mucho peso en la progresión de la aventura y no nos simples pasivas.

    Crafteo: Muy entretenido, me encantó el sistema para reciclar materiales. La munición es escasa por lo que tienes que recolectar constantemente materiales.

    Exploración: Muy a lo resident evil en el sentido de que llegas a una nueva localización y hay x puertas en las que no puedes entrar hasta que avances en la historia y desbloques algo para poder volver y abrir esa puerta que te dejaste atrás. Hay múltiples posibilidades para entrar en determinados sitios lo cual es un puntazo.

    Bugs: Me he encontrado unos cuantos sobre todo con las físicas de los objetos, también situaciones extrañas en las conversaciones de los personajes cuando se juntan varios.

    Por último añadir que en las partes finales del juego cuando ya tienes todo o casi todo desbloqueado y tu única función es ir de del punto a al punto b las pantallas de carga se vuelven un coñazo ya que tienes que pasar de localización a localización constantemente.    … Expand

    The least you know about the game the better, so I'll be brief.
    Prey is a first person game where you can shoot or stealth your way through a very interesting tale.
    It's pretty, the musics are nice and I've loved the story, the characters and the general atmosphere.
    The choices you make do matter, some of them really dark.
    In my opinion this is a must-have.

    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?
