    Prey means deep space and deep gameplay. A huge space station hides thousands of game mechanics and dynamics ready to be explored by the solitary player. Its warfare is not infinite nor predestined, but makes up part of a bigger picture, a bigger game, where gameplay means much more than gunplay.

    Prey is a highly sophisticated game with respect to its gameplay, level design and narrative. Although its graphical and artificial intelligence problems are easy to notice, we've had a great sci-fi experience.

    In the end Prey ends up being much more than a mosaic: thanks to its narrative and to the mobility of a gameplay that constantly evolves over over twenty hours of the main adventure, the game leaves a trace that ends up being unique.

    Taken together, Prey is a brilliant but flawed descent into a world of science gone wrong, driven by a well told, cerebrally satisfying story which makes up for the mechanical inconsistencies of the experience. Comparing Prey to Bioshock only reveals the relative cracks which explains why the former doesn’t quite live up to the expectations set by the latter, so it’s instead best to enjoy Prey as its own thing, forgiving its flaws to marvel at the results of Arkane’s intelligent approach to game design.

    While not the masterpiece it could have been, this imaginative, immersive sim provides an impressive, dense sandbox with plenty of exciting toys to play with. [July 2016, p.93]

    Prey’s curious alternate-history universe, intriguing sidequests, hidden threats, and detailed environmental storytelling make Talos I a joy to explore. The unsettling sense of paranoia that comes from knowing any object could turn out to be a hidden enemy gives even the quiet moments a palpable tension. All of that picks up the slack for combat and stealth that doesn’t feel fresh enough to sustain it throughout what can be a long game.

    The game is dour and oblivious that its destination is more interesting and vital than the journey.

A great mix of action, tension ("IS that a mimic or not?"), horror and sci fi. Dont miss this!!!… Expand

It has elements of several different games and allows different play styles. Learning curve in the beginning is needed, if you just try to run and gun you will not like this game. Stealth is an excellent way to play. Good RPG elements, enjoyable enemies. All round solid game… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 40 or so hours of prey i can say that is a good game, BUT i can feel very unfair (played in hard), the enemy design, visually is OK at best since they took the RE 7 approach by making everything a black blob, but mechanically they dropped the ball pretty hard, mimics are fine, poltergeist to, and even the weaver feels ok even thou he spawns tracking projectiles. but the phantoms feel really unfair since they can spawn Area of effect projectiles in your position, and they can hit you continuously and through walls, since this is a first person perspective it really hurts when they spawn something behind you. One Last thing, the ending movies are REALLY BAD and the post credits scene was really disappointing since absolutely nothing of what i did mattered in any way… Expand

После неё, постоянно возникал вопрос: "Почему такое управление не сделали в DeadSpace?". Отличная история, которая подаётся через окружение, где даже чтение электронных писем не раздражает.
