10/10 There is nothing like it. If you can buy it for less than $10 just do it. This is a generational game that a generation missed. People will be talking about this game as long as I am alive.

Prey feels like it was made for someone like me, with mechanics that tick every box I love. The freedom in Prey lies in its variety and the choices it offers. Every corner is filled with tools for progression, making the game’s environment far richer and more immersive than the hollow expanses of many so-called "open worlds." The game’s silent protagonist is a stroke of match—perfect for the isolation of space, letting the eerie quiet of Talos I seep into your bones. It’s a game where choice reigns supreme: each tool, ability, and path offers an alternative way to survive, as if you’re constantly negotiating with the environment itself. It’s not just a sci-fi thriller, but a thoughtful meditation on agency and survival, all wrapped in a universe that feels as vast and unknowable as the cosmos. A rare blend of cerebral design and atmospheric storytelling, where every mechanic feels like an invitation to experiment. Best in the immersive-sim genre.

If you've never had the experience of playing Dishonored or any other Arkane game, you'll probably think... Wow... another game in space... Even with very low expectations, I wanted to give the game a chance and I simply felt like an idiot after finishing it. This is truly one of the most complete immersive simulator experiences you will ever have. Studios that work with this type of game know how to compose a product with a beginning and an end. The prologue alone will leave you speechless... The controls are easy to understand and the gameplay is fantastic. Several mechanics from other Arkane games are implemented here, and are increasingly refined. As cliché as it may seem, this game was one of the only ones that I really felt like I was playing my way, mainly because of the beautiful explanation of how everything works at the beginning of the game and then you use your creativity and learn by making mistakes. In the first ~free~ moments I found a room that didn't seem to open at all. After trying several things, I discovered that there is the possibility of taking a gun similar to a nerf and shooting at a computer screen (which works) to open the door. This can be applied to most parts of the game, it's simply brilliant and characteristic of Arkane games. I didn't expect the dialogue and story to really capture me, but from the middle of the game you start to get excited about discovering everything. The first time I played I had a fantastic experience and now after years I have the pleasure of playing again. Making different choices and making the most of what I couldn't do the first time I played. The achievements are quite challenging, especially if you want to do 100%. After living this experience twice, I can say that Prey (2017) is a historic milestone not only in its genre but as a work of dedication from an experienced team. I will definitely play it a few more times in the future! As expected, I didn't have any problems with bugs or anything like that. I really didn't find anything frustrating in the game. If you had a good experience playing Bioshock, Dishonored, Deus Ex or Arx Fatalis you will definitely go crazy like me when you play Prey. It was worth every penny.

Although this game has the concept and elements of Bioshock , PREY offers a completely different gameplay experience. While Bioshock mostly gives you a linear story gameplay, with the opportunity of exploration only on the way u're going, PREY gives you the feeling of liberty to explore and do things differently. Every action or omission leads to different paths and consequences. PLUS: There's plenty side quests and the zero gravity mechanics on this game is the best i've seen. So fun!! You must keep in mind that this is not the sort of game you gonna rush it to the end. It's not meant to play like that. Instead, you'll chill, read, scavenge, craft, meet new characters, talk to them patiently, get close to them, help them (or not) but ultimately, feel a connection to the characters and the story from your chair in real life. Meaning you'll have plenty more fun if you play it with your heart. IMPORTANT NOTE: would not recommend to play on hard difficulty. Start with normal and maybe change it mid game! It's a huge game. Would definitely play it again trying to complete all side quests, especially for some amazing life lessons and new ambitions this game can give you. The lore about the mind on this game and humanity, alien species, life n technology and universe simply fascinates me. 10/10 Solid masterpiece and one of a kind.
