With Prey, Arkane cements itself heir to the immersive sim. Dishonored reinvented the genre, particularly the Thief branch. By contrast Prey feels very old—it's precisely the System Shock 3 successor Arkane pitched it as.The mastery is no less apparent th...
Although Prey's combat and narrative fail to fill the shoes of the games they're so obviously taking inspiration from, the visit to its Talos I space station is a marvel in interconnected level design and presentation. This is environmental storytelling a...
Abstract: Prey owes a lot to its heritage, but still offers some cool new twists on old ideas. While it would've been nice to see Prey venture farther from shore, the shooter provides a fantastic iteration of existing concepts...

Talos One feels immersive, encourages exploration and experimentation, Deep, involving story will have you hunting down every detail, Transforming Typhon mimics are genuinely unnerving
