In my opinion, Prey is one of the best games ever made. A true successor to the likes of System Shock, BioShock and Half Life. I won't say much, since with these games the less you know the better. It's worth it. Do NOT use the escape pod when you get the chance, trust me!

During the course of the game, you find yourself stuck on the Talos I space station, where a disaster of unknown type has occurred, which pits you against an unknown, unique and very much hostile alien force while you attempt to piece together what exactly happened. While there are features that are rather bare bones, like the gunplay (although I still find it satisfying), overall nearly everything else makes up for it in droves, such as....
- The station changes and evolves as the disaster unfolds. You can even explore the outside!
- The fantastic story, which not only includes a great main quest line and side-quests with multiple endings (including kill everyone), but also lots of worldbuilding with alternate history. This is all neatly tied together within its breathtaking Art Deco art style.
- Unique mechanics like the Gloo Gun, Neuromod, Reployer and Recycler Charges. Plus a decent crafting system and skill trees.
- A nice survival mode for those who want it, and a fantastic New Game+ mode, where you get to keep all your skills and abilities so that you can speed through the game if you missed anything or need to get ideas for a review.

My only real gripe with the game is that the last act feels rushed, with lots of backtracking and a slog of enemies, but unlike a seemingly large amount of players, I find the ending pretty great - although I wouldn't say there's much sequel potential, which is both disappointing but also satisfying in it's own way.

Sadly, this game seems to have been overlooked by the vast majority of people. From marketing dropping the ball, to the very much lacklustre DLC post-launch, combined with the fans of old Prey complaining that it has nothing to do with the original series (which it only took because the devs just thought the name sounded cool). It's a shame really, as this is perhaps one of the best games Arkane-Bethesda has released to date, besides Dishonoured, and the potential seems squandered (for example Flight Log: Scott Parker anyone?). I honestly wish they just opened up to modding so that players could take on the mantle of creating content for this great game.

TL;DR: Was forced to play this game by my twin and I basically found one of the best games ever made - although I had to buy this on my account to post this review (it cost me $12) would still recommend.
