Kludgy UI and game mechanics. Everything but the enemies are slow. Your character moves slow, attacks slow, dodges slow. Enemy ranged attacks hurt you around corners. Mimics jump around and dodge your gloo gun, dodge your melee attacks. Takes too long to get any skills up to do anything else. Dont buy, at any price.
Good but not as good as Dishonored series, especially fun wise Dishonored 2 is levels above but it's different type of game so it's understandable. Also i wouldn't call it a typical horror game, it's not rly that scary. You can see it's Arkane's game, just by level of details, how good interiors looks, freedom etc I'ts not an ez game, u have to use your brain, exploration is pretty rewarding and satisfying but at the end a little exhausting cuz of loading screens and repetitive hacking. Depending on which upgrades you're going for, the way you move on the map will change for you, i recommend to play in survival mode, better for immersion. Some In-game gadgets are cool, my favourite was "Re****er".
The station actually rotates around the moon! 10/10
One of the best games I've ever played. P.S. Pls dont spoil the ending for yourself.
Bought this game on release and played it for a few hours, wasn't feeling it at the time. Now probably after nearly 10 years later I decided to give it a shot and my god, this game is absolutely fantastic. The storyline is written well in my opinion and I kept getting hooked the more I kept delving into transcribes and all the arcing side missions. Sure most of them didn't really contribute to the main storyline but I do love how it all will add up in the end for your final ending. If you're really into Bioshock type like games, this is a definite 10/10 that you should play through. You will not regret it, so much so that I wonder why this game never received a sequel. It runs absolutely phenomenal on the Steamdeck as well and I've encountered no bugs nor crashes during the 30 hours it took me to finish. Finished the final few hours on my PC.
If you like System Shock or Dead Space or Alien Isolation, this is an easy recommend.
一款令人惊叹的游戏,将多种玩法融合在一起却没有明显的缺点,这在整个游戏界都是相当罕见的。 这款游戏设计了相当丰富的战斗风格,包括但不限于近战,枪械,灵能,投掷,心灵控制,玩家可以相当自由的完成战斗环节。大部分解密也设置了至少3种解密方式,玩家可以自己选择自己的游戏倾向。除此之外,游戏还设置了四通八达的大地图,丰富度非常高的支线,和相当多的结局。 这个游戏最大的优点就是高自由度和新颖的创意,但自由度高的游戏会很累,这也许是这个游戏不温不火的原因。在创意这一点上,游戏有相当多的小细节:[spoiler] 比如武器轮盘,我绝对想不到它能被设计成螺旋形,天才般的设计[/spoiler]
I love immersive sims, and I'm sure Prey is a good game. However, after a strong start, my enthusiasm quickly faded. There's a lot of looting for crafting materials, a mechanic I despise. The combat against the Typhon, after the first few encounters, already shows its limitations. There's barely any stealth. The environment feels sterile and devoid of life. The best immsim, Deus Ex, has tons of moments where you interact with civilians, whole levels built around nothing but exploration and social encounters, and a huge variety of environments. There's none of that here. You have no one to interact with, the story is slowly drip-fed to you through radio and documents, and you're just running around a single hostile place. I can't help feeling that Bioshock did it better, many years ago.
Super underated game! New Ideas, old ideas made fresh. I would go so far and put it in my Top10 of all time. It should've become more popular, which is not easy with that whole mainstream sludge we're getting overwhelmed with...
8/10
