If you've played 5 games this game might be good. It's incredibly mediocre otherwise. 4 is a bit harsh but 6 is more than fair.

Arkane games are incredibly overrated. Every one of them is just a shit version of a better game from the 90s. So yeah Prey 2017 sucks balls but not for the reasons the Gaylord journos listed.

I was honestly disappointed with SS1's map/exploration, it looks a lot more complex than it actually is. Still, a lot of fun for a metroidvania junkie like me, though I can't see why it's considered an immerse sim, there was barely anything of that nature in the game. Maybe SS2 focuses more on immersive sim elements.

Prey is in a weird spot where I think the fans of it overrate it, but then everyone else (especially journos) underrated it. In terms of a AAA immersive sim it was a breath of fresh air with an interesting story and some good ideas/mechanics. However, not all of the ideas were fully realized and it felt like the last 1/3rd was rushed and they were afraid of it being too hard so gave you infinite access to resources through the recycle mechanic.
If we're going by 5 being an actual average game then I give it like a 7.5/10, maybe an 8/10 if I am very generous. It is a very good game. Not great, but if you want to play a modern immersive sim you really have no choice.

Yeah, nuPrey is actual dogshit. Creatively bankrupt "black goo" enemies, artistically bankrupt sterile corridors, the guns are all boring shit, the shooting gameplay is unremarkable, only the mimic alien power is any memorable and it's basically useless from a gameplay perspective, the story and all the supporting NPCs are shit, it's woke, even the EPIC TWIST at the end is wasted since the protagonist is such a nothingburger the player will feel no relation to him.

Zoomers desperately want to experience their own Deus Ex or System Shock but this trash heap doesn't measure up. Even Bioshock shits all over this, and that's really embarrassing.

i think it looks neat and sounds neat and you can make platforms with the goo gun
the gimmick of lil blackies being objects to pop out and scare you runs out of steam real quick though, the enemies are real easy to kill and don't do a lot of damage so what's the point

Prey 2017 was a broken fucking mess at launch, and particularly before the day 1 patch when reviewers had it. They wrote honest reviews based on the game that existed at that time, and people got pissy about it.

The 4/10 review was a guy who had replacement saves sent by Arkane multiple times, and the game breaking inventory bug re-appeared every time. (It was caused by using the central elevator, which would make random inventory items disappear.)

Prey 2017 still has game breaking crash bugs that can pop up, especially on consoles, making progression impossible.

I'm gonna blow your mind here.
You're not special. You're not smart.
Videogames are entertainment for the lowest common denominator. No matter how clever it makes you feel, how smart you think you are, or how ingenious you think the game is. it's retard fodder for the retard flock. I'm so tired of inbred faggots acting like one has a superiority over another because their game is "intelligent" it's vacuous high brow bullshit for people too broke and retarded to be part of the actual upper class.
Do you know why right got a higher score than left? Because VIDEOGAMES ARE ENTERTAINMENT you self-absorbed cunt. The right is more entertaining.
You niggers were too retarded for shogi or go so you play videogames and think everyone is supposed to recognize your intellect. You are not anything. Anon. Videogames didn't give you any special status or any privileges. IN fact you are everything that's wrong with gaming. You and and thousands of cunts around the world like you are the reason videogames were mark of shame for decades. We all had to walk around with our heads down and our "power level hidden" while just wanting to enjoy some fun games, because faggots like you had to act like playing this garbage on the left makes you superior to other human beings.
Let's face it. The only reason you're alive right now instead of in a landfill with a hole in your head is because you're not worth the amount of brass that is needed to make a bullet.
I'm so fucking tired of gaming being consumed by pretentious cunts and self-absorbed faggots. Keep your cancer to yourself.

I think i prefer Mooncrash over the base game. I hate save scumming and imm sims are prone to that problem.

Looking_Glass_definition_for_immersive_reality_or_immersive_sim_games
This game is the culmination of all the lessons that was brought by immersive sims of the past. Prey 2 was it and it bombed. Its legacy is just going to be shelved for the foreseeable future despite being a hallmark of the genre.

I think everyone agrees Mooncrash was better than the base game.

Creating the perfect imsim is literally the holy grail of western video game philosophy. All that talk about emergent gameplay, seamless roleplaying and multiple answers to a puzzle/quest system all flow down from the design philosophy of immersive sims.

It's still a meme to me when such a philosophy doesn't describe why i like Thief more than System Shock. They'd almost be alien games if it weren't for the dark engine. I ask people can you point me in the direction of games like Thief and the response i get is some game that isn't about sneaking around in the shadows and I'm like: that's not what i asked for. I asked for a game that lets me sneak pass guards and get loot. Possibly more open in the level design.

Prey is great, but going pure human/typhon is awful dogshit. Typhon especially because I spent probably half the game fucking with my inventory because you can't upgrade space. The other really shit part is the big retard typhon that pops up every 20 minutes or whatever. There's a quest where you can bait it away, but you only get to do that like 3 times before it doesn't work. Killing is just a massive waste of resources so you just have to hide and afk for 5 minutes until it leaves.
