A great new IP with an old name 2
An inconvenient pastWhen talking about Prey the first thing to get out of the way is how it’s only relation to the original Prey franchise is through a convoluted business justification that could only result from business folk making highly illogical business decisions that probably looked pretty smart in an excel spreadsheet. In short Bethesda acquired the rights to Prey and decided to blow the proverbial dust from this withering license by handing off development to Arkane with appar...

Arkane's best effort at being Looking Glass yet! 0
The developers at Arkane Studios are apparently very fond of the style of game pioneered by Looking Glass studios. Even the phrase “Looking Glass” is plastered all over their newest release, Prey, which might as well be called a spiritual successor to Looking Glass’s 1999 effort System Shock 2. Arkane’s first game, Dishonored, was the same thing to Looking Glass’s Thief series. Some might be compelled to compare Prey to Irrational’s Bioshock, but this is true ...

a truly memorable sci-fi game 0
At first sight Prey might look similar to certain other sci-fi FPS games, i.e. BioShock and Half-life 2. However, Prey is considerably more complex than that, which this review will hopefully show. The only things Prey has in common with those games, is that they are all sci-fi FPS games. Prey is definitely its own unique thing.To start things off though, let's start with the things I did not like:Towards the end of the game you have to do far too much running backwards and forwards in both the...

Environmental exploration done right 0
Well it only took eleven years, but there's another Prey game. This one is called... Prey- look, I could go on about dumb names for things all day, it doesn't really matter anymore. This is a game that's less concerned with continuing the story or 'legacy' of the previous game, and more about defining what the Prey series is going forward, if it is to be a series. And I hope it does continue, Bethesda and developer Arkane Studios have created something that's really quite great. A combination of...

Alone and an easy target. 0
The more time I spent on Prey’s Talos I space station, surrounded by technology and scientific wonders devastated by unspeakable horrors the less I wanted to leave. The gnarled bodies of the dead and suffering, the clicking of patiently waiting predators and the whirring automatons around me became a haven. In fact, I began to resent the game as the story began to draw it’s conclusions. I kept saying to myself “Why can’t I get a few more side-quests?” and “Sh...
