About Prey (2017 video game)

Prey (2017) is Arkane Studios' immersive sim set aboard Talos I, a space station orbiting the Moon, where an alien threat called the Typhon has taken over. You play Morgan Yu, a scientist whose memory has been wiped, and the game begins with a choice that signals how much it respects your intelligence. The gameplay is a masterclass in systemic design: you can fight the Typhon with weapons, sneak past them, hack turrets and robots, turn into objects with the Mimic ability, or use the station's systems against its invaders. Every problem has multiple solutions, and the game rewards exploration with stories told through emails, audiologs, and the station's living quarters. The atmosphere is tense and claustrophobic, and the story's twists are genuinely surprising. It is a worthy spiritual successor to System Shock, and a must-play for fans of player-driven design.
