Wasn't Prey basically BioShock in space? It felt like that to me (at least the first level I bumbled through before the game crashed and I gave up).

Prey should have been called Neuroshock. Yes it's basically bioshock in space. Even down to the wrench.

I slept on Prey for ages and eventually worked up the motivation to play past the intro and it was such an experience I immediately did a second playthrough. It's legitimately one of my favourite games. Heartbreaking that it didn't perform well.

How long until you get out of the section with mimic enemies? Because when that game launched, that was all I saw in footage of the opening hours, and I wasn't interested in that.

The mimics are there throughout the entire game. However about 1-2 hours in you get a piece of equipment that lets you detect shapeshifted mimics before you get close. You start encountering non-mimics pretty early on though. Once you get out into the lobby you get some variety in enemies which is pretty early on.
