The thing I appreciate the most from Prey is that it is something different, which is saying a lot from a genre that seems to just pump out sequel after sequel. Prey differs vastly from other FPS experiences, focusing less on the combat (which does have its drawbacks) and focusing more on the atmosphere and story. This game reminds me of a crossbreed between Half-Life and Bioshock, but never feels like it is a carbon copy of either. Give the demo a whirl if you want a taste of what to expect, but never assume the experience stays the same, which is what makes Prey so magnificent. Only drawback is the combat isn’t as thrilling as the rest of the game.

Prey (like Bioshock and Dead Space) is a spiritual successor to the famous and influential System Shock 2. Your character finds himself on a mysterious space station where things have gone terribly wrong. As you work to escape/stop the alien threat you gradually explore the station, learning more about the inhabitants and the station through clues in the environment, logs people left behind, etc. If you've played Bioshock or Dead Space you've played this game before, but here is what makes Prey stand out; 1. Unique Aliens - Rather than being standard monsters the Typhon are little creatures that can mimic their surroundings (and absorb information from their victims). This is genuinely scary as a random chair or box could be an enemy in disguise. 2. Good Story - Interesting stories throughout the station, interesting premise (mimic abilities of aliens is harnessed by corporation to improve humanity, but of course something goes wrong). The alien threat ends up being an original take on Fermi's Paradox. I also thought the ending was original. Without spoiling anything, this game really embraces the idea of choices defining a character (role playing) rather than necessarily changing the outcome of the story's events. 3. Graphics/Soundtrack - Gorgeous, soundtrack is spooky 4. Gameplay - The combat isn't the best but it gets the job done. I like that this game's idea of crafting is breaking objects down and using a 3D printer to make whatever you want. If you like RPGs I think you will like this game. If you liked Bioshock or Dead Space you will definitely not be disappointed.
