Prey is definitely a game that gets incredible word of mouth, it's hard not to love it if you've played it. As with a lot of Arkane's other work it's clear they respect and understand the immersive sim and Prey is absolutely a love letter not just to that genre, but specifically system shock.

It's essentially a spiritual successor to those games, and I really wish they'd named it something accordingly, like Psycho Shock, it would've really given players the right idea, but either way the game that came out is an absolute masterpiece. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

One of the best games I've played in a long long time. I sadly didn't vibe as much with the spin-off expansion (notably I don't enjoy roguelikes) but the main game was fantastic.

The atmosphere, the progression, the ending, they pulled it off really well. Also coffee cups jumping at my face!

I love Prey. One of the best games of the 2010s, and really carries the torch for the Shock games.

If you finish Prey, try out the Mooncrash DLC. Criminally underrated. It's kind of a different game, but in a good way. Expands the story and gives out clues to how this whole thing got started. Also had some pretty haunting personal stories to tell.

I really enjoyed it. Specifically, the GLOO gun and how you can use it for a variety of uses, and how the levels are specifically designed to allow you to break all the rules and bypass locked doors as long as you're smart about it. ie, if you find a locked door, you can either find the key, or go around the door, or climb over the ceiling, or hack the door, or crawl in, or throw something at the unlock button. I never really played that genre of games before (immersive sim), but Prey got me hooked

I really love Bioshock Infinite, but Prey did not click for me, I'm not sure why.

I still have it installed, I guess I'll have another go.

I took a long break from gaming (~15 years). Then when I came back too it I found all these great games that had came and went. So I started parsing through many of the most critically acclaimed games. I hit Arkane, and Dishonored was so incredible (and I got Prey with them in a flash steam sale for a few bucks), I thought I'd give it a try.

I will say it's probably one of the best games I've played in my most recent gaming phase. It is a super solid sci-fi horror where you can engage. I do not like run and hide games, so this one fulfilled my criteria. The story is also classic sci-fi greatness.

It's also one of the few games I've got an itch to play again.

If you haven't tried it, Control is a fantastic narrative-driven game with unique gameplay mechanics and play options. Highly recommend that if you liked BioShock and Prey. I'm currently playing Outter Worlds and, wow, is it rewarding as you play it.
