    I was hesitating about getting this game because I don't really like being scared and also since the demo didn't really grab my attention, but ultimately I caved in and picked it up after a ridiculous discount (why not?).

Even though I played Dishonored, Bioshocks, Deus Exs and other immersive sims, this one was the most enjoyable due to the setting and art direction (I'm a huge sci-fi fan and adore titles like Dead Space). I think I went through every single email and note this time and fully immersed myself.
    The sad and unfortunate truth is that despite Prey has a terrific story, unique "open" world and flexible mechanics + a sort of an open ending, I don't think it sold well which might impact any potential sequels or DLC. But I hope I'm wrong on this one.    … Expand

    Unlike many other current gen games it really rewards exploration, collecting items, upgrading your skills.

It's such a breath of fresh air compared to the usual "go to this quest-marker, kill some monsters, collect some items" games.

    I also like the graphics, setting, style and survival horror feeling.

    Prey implements contrasts like no other game I've played. All at once it brilliantly juxtaposes itself with familiarity and foreignness; originality and homage; fear and comfort; story and gameplay.

    However, despite the many similarities, Prey still feels fresh and engaging.
    The intended claustrophobic atmosphere is contrasted by the wide, wondrous views of the Arbotoreum and the Talos Lobby.
    The story's plot and twists were also brilliant. As soon as I thought I had caught onto a tangible clue or figured out the story, Prey threw something new into the mix. By the time I reached the end, I was both expecting and blown away by the finale (admittedly, more blown away than expectant).

    I am a huge fan of Dishonored so was a bit hesitant going into Prey, not expecting it to be as good. But I am pleasantly surprised that I can rate it as equal to Dishonored's ingenuity.    … Expand

    Here is my review of Prey, Arkane Studios newest game published by Bethesda games.

    Prey is a AAA Indie game when it comes to how it feels and plays (unique). The DNA of Bioshock, Deus Ex, System Shock and Dishonored can be felt through the experience but ultimately Prey feels like it's own game. You are Morgan Yu and have lost your memory, and the game tells you very little about where you are and why you're there, the main premise of the Prey is unraveling the mystery of what's going on aboard the space-station Talos I.
    Gameplay consist of combat and discovery with the latter being far more prevalent. You are free to explore Talos I at your own pace with the occasional story beat popping in here and there leading you to new areas of the space-station. Prey starts off very slow with little knowledge of what to expect but all i can say without spoilers is that the game evolves and expands in interesting ways. Prey does not hold your hand and it trusts the players intelligence.
    There are many types of weapons and player upgrades that allow you to play a very specific way, just like in Deus ex, you can move a heavy object or hack a terminal or search the area for something else entirely to get past an obstacle. Prey is a fun game and also a very smart game, it has fantastic design in it's aesthetics and environments. I would recommend this game for fans of the immersive sim genre but I can't say that Prey is an instant classic and will be remembered for it's familiar gameplay. What i can say is that if you're looking for something new to play then look no further than Prey.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having loved the first, old Prey, my expectations on Arkane's Prey were conflicting: on one hand I was expecting an excellent game, on the other hand a game that would never have been special as the original. Surely, I loved what I've found.

    This Prey's plot is much richer than that of the original: it has an historical background, it has big plot twists and a better writing – palpable the imprint of Chris Avellone. Arkane changes shape, but not substance: a constant search for one's own identity. A path to be followed that will lead to ultimate destination: the discovery and definition of own nature. Who is Morgan Yu? Who do we want Morgan Yu to be? Not only this. Losing our memories can possibly change our opinions or positions on something we dealed differently? Probably. Maybe the most correct question is: what does it mean to be human? What is our place in the universe? A universe where aliens like Typhon can't feel empathy, but possess extraordinary powers. Almost like having to tight a blood pact, to get something sacrificing something else, but this is more for humans than for Typhon. Almost to say that if you want a great power, that great power will consume you till change what you are. Why? Because you can't get everything. Just like the old Prey, the meaning of this story, is that human being is not great and powerful as it likes to think. Ending plot twist is really a bomb; and even then you can make a choice. Choosing who or what "Morgan" ultimately wants to be.

    Prey's gameplay is most likely the gameplay that every game would have today if the golden age of video games would never ended. Many naive and younger players compare it to BioShock: no, Prey is better. In Prey you can complete missions, secondary quests, even before you receive the assignment itself. In Prey, thanks to the revolutionary Gloo gun, it's possible to reach many inaccessible places, thus creating true roads where there are not. In Prey, rubber darts launched with a crossbow, can be used to push buttons and open closed doors, or using the touchpad of a computer screen, thus acting as an indirect remote control. In Prey, almost all objects possess their own physics, can be launched and manipulated, environmental interactivity – as it should theoretically be for all modern games – is very high, free, experimentable. All Talos I is freely explorable, and the player can devote himself to recovering data and information in the station to find out its secrets. There are really a lot of roads to walk, and the player can chose which one is better to take. Very beautiful also sections with zero gravity, albeit somewhat confusing. In Prey, at least 3/4 of choices, both secondary and primary, affect the game by generating at least a dozen different finals. Enemies are various and have variable powers, some more lethal, others less. They have violent, fast and aggressive attitudes – a great artificial intelligence, in short. Thanks to alien powers, is possible to transform the character in common objects from the simplest to the most complex, in order to circumvent obstacles, hide or deceive the enemies. Level of challenge, even at "normal", is quite high: generally can be dead with 2 or 3 direct hits. All this, it's much, much more than a BioShock game. It's actually an old basic gameplay, worthy of a real video game, but still improved anyway, and the fact that it looks new today should make reflect on the differences in the gaming values of the past and of the present. Something got lost in time, but Prey recovers it and improves it.

    Graphically the game is very nice. It doesn't excel, but it doesn't need it either. Artistic steampunk, retrofuturistic and art déco design is very well done and beautiful. Too bad for some details, such as reflections on glass and mirrors, which unfortunately – like most modern games – are missing; it's fair to remember that in the old Prey, these details were present. Soundtrack is great, both Mick Gordon and Colantonio tracks are nice and fits game's atmosphere. Optimization works, but has problems: many bugs, a game that looks at the past this way, should also provide a better optimization, because once there were no reluctant day-one patches. Loading times get ridiculously too much long going forward in the game.

    This new Prey? I loved it. It founds its way, learning from the past and teaching to the present and future. Gameplay and true interactivity, challenge, plot and good thematics, graphic and much more. More games should be like Prey, and this is a fact not a personal taste. A game made (almost) all in the old good way. Sure, it's a different Prey if compared to the old one, but it's still a masterpiece, and I was the first not completely believing in it, but I had to admit its merits. Many won't understand it, others will compare it to BioShock, while Prey is much greater than BioShock. Only true gamers will know and appreciate the gem they found.    … Expand

    At Talos one lobby third floor balcony and there phantom on the first floor. I have Leverage lll so I dropped from the top balcony and used my thrusters to slow my fall. I waited for the alien to come ar Und a corner while I was holding a coffe table, three it at him full force and knocked his ass down flat. While he was down I pulled out the pump and blasted his ass!!!!

    A review somewhere describes it as a sandbox in which you can go about solving a puzzle in more or less whatever way you want... thats exactly what it is in my experience. it can be pretty easy or difficult, depending how you prepare for a situation (or not). This is a perfect mix of alien isolation, dishonored, and bioshock. Absolutely fantastic experience.

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

    FUNCTIONALITY: I played this game on the PS4 with no significant problems. There were a couple of frame rate drops for maybe a second, but no longer. Other than that, the game runs really smoothly with no difficulties. Loading screens do take quite a while, however, each area is really large and require no extra loading screens.

Other than that, the game runs really smoothly with no difficulties. Loading screens do take quite a while, however, each area is really large and require no extra loading screens. In other words, you may have to wait a couple minutes for an area to load, or to switch between areas, but once it has loaded, then that's it. I have never really waited longer than 2 minutes except when just starting up the game, and once the game is going, load times can vary from < or = to 2 minutes or so.
    GAMEPLAY/MECHANICS: Difficult, and I love it! There is no x-ray vision/wallhacks. Enemies are difficult to spot and deal with. Gunplay resembles that of older shooters instead of the mega twitchy COD style. The upgrades and powers are amazing and help power you up against relentless enemies. I won't go too deep into the powers and upgrades as I do not want to spoil anything, but it is important to note that there is no Exp in this game. Upgrades are gained by finding upgrade items in the world called Neuromods. Health does not regenerate from taking cover, instead, you will use health packs, food, or Medical Operators. There is a stamina bar which regenerates after melee attacks or sprinting. There are sneak mechanics and exploration is heavily rewarded. This is the type of game where you want to explore every corner, crawl under and into every space, pick up everything, interact with every computer/monitor/interface, and read every note/book capable of being read. The game also has space walk mechanics for when your character gains the ability to go EVA. Crafting is essential. (Mild spoiler) There are Recycler machines where you can plop in all your junk to turn it into resources and (sometimes) accompanying Fabrication machines where you will be able to fabricate anything from weapons, to ammo, to health, and even Neuromods, to name a few, but only provided that you have found the corresponding blueprints aka "Fabrication Plans." As far as alternate weapons go, you get a Gloo gun early on, which allows for interesting mechanics in combat and exploration. It was at this point that I started to see and think of this game as Half-Life 3 where you get a Gloo gun instead of a Gravity gun. In fact when it comes to ATMOSPHERE this game is very dark, scary, creepy, mysterious, and evokes memories of the Half-Life, Bioshock, and Dishonored series (no surprise there as Arkane studios is responsible for both Prey and Dishonored).
    GRAPHICS: The graphics and animations are good, not "super amazin!" but good, regardless of what the haters are saying. Honestly graphics are not nearly as important in a video game as people think imo. It is necessary for graphics to be good, but not every game needs to be excellent. I don't know how many really pretty games are out there that have terrible mechanics and gameplay, and how many game have horrible graphics but awesome mechanics and gameplay. The Graphics wont win awards, but they are fine.
    CONTENT: This game has a lot of stuff to explore, discover, and fight. Average play times range from 16 - 20 hours, and that's only if you set it on easy and rush through main quest objectives. You can easily spend more than double that if you take your time and pick your way through everything, collect every scrap of info, enter every hidden or blocked off area, and discover every secret. As for REPLAYABILITY, it's very high as you will not likely be able to do go and do everything as some things require certain upgrades, and you will be unable to upgrade every skill/power in a single playthrough.
    STORY: Very deep and intricate. There are plenty of twists and turns that I will not spoil, and the story is a total head trip. Very interesting and very rewarding. A wonderful spiritual successor to Half-Life!!!
    CUTSCENES: Non-existent, and that's a good thing. Too many games rely on cutscenes when in many cases they are completely unnecessary and immersion breaking. The "Cutscenes," in Prey resemble that of Half-Life, or even Skyrim, which is to say, you walk up to a character and actually talk with them. You do not break immersion to learn new information or to interact with a character. The closest thing to a "traditional" cutscene would be a situation where you watch a video file, of which there are plenty, on the "Looking Glass," screens, but you are watching these scenes through the first person pov of you character. Very immersive.
    CONCLUSION: I give this game a 10/10 and it is easily on the top of my list for GOTY. It's not an easy game, it doesn't hold your hand, and if you like games that practically play themselves, or ones where everything is simply given to you and take no skill or thought then you will probably hate Prey. But if you like games such as Half-Life, Bioshock, or Dishonored, then you will not be disappointed.    … Expand

    Prey has that similar feeling, that game on release that nobody knows about other than 'it's not a sequel, cry cry'. But if you have an open mind that is not persuaded by such infantile sentiment, you can sit down and play a solo experience game which reminds you why games are GREAT. When you look back 10-20 years and think what games were awesome, you wont be thinking of that 100th military shooter clone or some other garbage.

    Hands down one of the best games I've ever played. Very immersive. Rewards exploration. Very much a dead space vibe, but better. Story is crazy & keeps me wondering. I have the game maxed out & running 1440p. On a 1080 I'm usually between 115-144fps. Can't really think of any negatives so far. I'm about 15 hours in so far. Also, the sound & music in this game is incredible.

    one hell of a game.. its mixed the gameplay of bioshock and the tricky ways of dishonored 2 and just a little bit of portal environment..mixed all of this a made a great sci-fi game.

    This is one of the cleverest games we’ve ever played. It constantly wows with many multiple solutions to almost every problem. If you have a talent for thinking outside the box, chances are Arkane is three steps ahead and ready to accommodate your lunacy. [July 2017, p66]

    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]

    Harsh difficulty mars an otherwise engrossing sci-fi journey in a fascinating setting. [July 2017, p.76]
