Prey is an immersive-sim in the vein of Deus Ex, Bioshock in a science fiction setting with an interesting story and tight gameplay systems that keep you having fun and immersed until the very end.

Pros

  • Plot keeps you on your toes the entire way through and pushes you forward.
  • Combat is fun due to the number of different enemies and different approaches for tackling them.
  • Exploration is enjoyable and rewarding due to the well-designed environments filled with well-presented environmental storytelling.
  • The crafting system matters, it keeps you excited scavenging for resources and encourages you to explore every nook and cranny.
  • Visuals are great, there’s a lot of interesting stuff to see, specifically the near-future tech and the enemies.
  • Moving and fighting in no gravity zones (eg. space) is novel and feels really good.

Cons

  • Micromanagement of inventory space early on is a bit of a hassle.
  • Late in the game, upon entering a large area I experienced severe lag although previously everything was running smoothly (your experience may differ).
If you enjoy immersive sims and/or science fiction then you’ll most likely enjoy your time spent with Prey.
