Prey is very fun. I wasn’t too convinced by the demo (mainly because I was really tired and a bit sick when I played it); the overt System Shock / BioShock-iness of it has won me over. I’d been apprehensive about said similarities at first, but it really isn’t hard to win me over when your game is a “Looking Glass-style immersive sim” set on a creepy abandoned space station where you can be all tactical with how you’re solving problems and battering weird ghosty thingies.
One thought I had: if Dishonored is Arkane’s very successful attempt at bringing the mechanics of Thief to modern audiences, and if Prey is their (seemingly pretty cool) attempt at doing the same with System Shock (I say this bc it looks to have more of the RPG-y stuff that BioShock did away with), how cool would it be if they managed to do the same with Deus Ex?
Big mad conspiracy mayhem where you can say things are a shame
