Prey

Pros:

• Great story & Interesting characters
• Great Gameplay
• Intricate level design
• Pretty good graphics
• Recycling and crafting is great
• Mimics add a layer of horror and suspense

Cons:

• World environments look rather similar
• A few more enemy types would be nice

Verdict: It is a damn crime that this game is this overlooked. This is a game that reminiscences innovations within games like Half-Life. Shame that games like COD are getting the attention.

8.5/10

'Prey (2017)' is a first-person 'immersive sim' set aboard a space station that's been recently overrun by a whole host of otherworldly aliens, including the elusive 'mimick' which can disguise itself as any object on board. The name of the game here is choice, with the player being given free reign to complete their objectives in whatever way they want. Exploration is more than encouraged and, usually, all solutions are valid. That's what's so satisfying about the experience. It gives you a set of systems, which evolve somewhat over the course of the game but always remain consistent, and lets you loose with them. Its heady story, full of twists and turns, is meant to be engaged with on an intellectual level; you're supposed to think about what you're doing and why you're doing it. It's great fun that's incredibly immersive from start to finish. It's also rather unique, despite being obviously inspired by games such as 'System Shock (1994)', 'Bioshock (2007)', 'Deus Ex (2000)' and Arkane Studios' previous 'Dishonoured (2012)'. It's a game you won't want to stop playing. It's absolutely fantastic. I'll almost certainly be returning to it in the future. 9/10

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Prey" (2017) is a very original video game. It has all requirement for it to be a first person shooter (which it kinda is), but its hard to compeer it to any first person shooter. It has great story, and only a kinda disappointing ending was the reason I did not gave it a 10/10. This game has very unique for its genre gameplay mechanics, were you can approach your goal in many ways, the game gives. Also I was constantly surprised of the world this game takes place in, because it really is a very good sci-fi setting.

Overall, I highly enjoyed "Prey" until its a bit of a lackluster ending. Other then that, its a very original game.

Prey is one of those games that somehow got overlooked and almost forgotten. Picked it up by chance and haven't put it down since. Probably up there as one of the best games of all time, they story, the atmosphere, everything about this game just makes it awesome.

Almost perfect video game. This is a great game for getting scared. Really good horror. I originally played the demo on ps4 & it was so scary. Then did the entire game, with start do-over. It was tons of fun. The only reason I opted for 9 stars is because I felt like the game became too repetitive towards the end and I basically got bored & wanted to finish it quickly. Repetitive meaning especially in regards to creatures -- there were no more new horror creatures to explore! -- which was sad because I was thoroughly enjoying myself. The storyline is great, no complaints there.
