Prey Reviews
Adapting the best of emergent gameplay mechanics from the classics like System Shock, Prey raises the bar for the standard of space adventure-thrillers.
Prey is exactly what I expected, a production that suits Arkane. It's a game where you have to break down your prejudices and play and experience it.

Prey honors all the great games that served as inspiration, but also manages to be it's own thing. It's not perfect, but science fiction and space horror fans will surely love it. Once it clicks, it will take full control of your mind.

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

Prey establishes an interesting atmosphere early on and maintains that, with only a few disagreements along the way. Lengthy load times are likely going to get reduced with patches and combat is sometimes more annoying and pace-breaking than I would like, but overall, Prey gives more than enough back in return to offer a compelling experience.
In the end, Prey is a really, really good game. I’d even venture that it’s borderline great. While I can and will ding it a bit for the annoyance of repetitive returns to previous locations and for the overly annoying mimics (particularly from an aural standpoint), there is so much to like, so much to discover, so much to learn that I would put Prey up there as one of the best games of the year so far and that’s some pretty impressive company.
Prey's strong start, captivating story, fantastic atmosphere and satisfying ending makes it one of the must play games. Gamers who are looking for a 15 to 20 hours of adventure shouldn't miss this one.

As a mystery, a deep-space haunted house with dozens of stories of tragedy and humanity to tell, Prey is a remarkably successful archaeological expedition — and it manages to compellingly ruminate on what it means to be .
Prey has come out of relative nowhere to be a truly great campaign experience that succeeds despite some of the game's more muddled aspects. I'd recommend giving it a shot.
Prey is a solid gaming experience in which we will discover the secrets of the alien DNA investigation committed by TranStar. Its emergent narrative and cohesion between main and secondary missions augur us more than 25 hours of interesting and varied search of the truth aboard the Talos I.

Arkane draws from myriad sources – BioShock, Dead Space, Metroid – in its reimagining of 2006's Prey, then adds a little magic of its own
Prey gives you a luxurious sci-fi playground and a great set of tools to use within it. Combat may be underwhelming, and the main story equally so, but the level of immersion on display is still absolutely stellar.
Arkane takes its time unfurling all of Prey's secrets, but that methodical approach makes every moment worth it the deeper you dive into the world the developer created.
Demanding action game, which is prevented from getting higher scores by frustration and shapeless characters.

Prey often feels like mash-up of some of the best sci-fi survival horror games of yesteryear and Arkane's previous work. And it is. But it also a title with some wildly unique ideas, an incredibly thick and unnerving atmosphere, and an exemplary soundtrack.
It's no Half-Life 2 of current gen, but deep, demanding and exploration-rewarding gameplay with mind-twisting story makes unforgettable experience.

Prey carries the tradition of Deus Ex and System Shock without sacrificing any of what made those games special to begin with.
Despite those rough patches, Prey is wholly engrossing, begging the player to solve Talos 1's many mysteries. It works well as a shooter, a stealth game and carries an 70s sci-fi vibe that is nothing short of a delight to experience.
It must have been a challenge to put all of this together, with groundbreaking patterns as an example. But the creators of the Dishonored series were worth trusting because the final product, despite a few mishaps, can certainly be considered one of this year's hits.

It's not a new story, but it's told really well and that makes up for a lot. Not the hacking though.
