My girlfriend asked me why I carry a gun around the house, what it was that scared me. I looked her straight in the eyes and said, “Motherfucking Mimics”. She laughed, I laughed, the chair laughed. I shot the chair, we had a good day. Now, that joke may not be new, but it’s one that fits Prey very well. The game feels like the love child of titles like System Shock, Bioshock, Deus Ex and Dishonored, combining innovative gameplay mechanics with excellent level design that encourage the player to look for creative ways to find their way around. Also, it teaches you not trust anything in your surroundings. Not even a coffee mug. You play as Morgan Yu (either male or female), a scientist who’s trapped aboard the Talos I space station. The year is 2032 and the space stat...

From trash to treasures to Typhon aliens, we’re going green in the most awesome way imaginable. “You can recycle almost anything in Prey,” says Creative Director Raphael Colantonio. Once you break down items (and enemies) into their component parts, you can use the raw materials to fabricate new items – everything from essentials like ammo and medkits to exotic gear like the Artax Propulsion System and the Neuromods themselves – provided you have the appropriate fabrication plan. Of course, you ...
Arkane might have failed to deliver with Dishonored 2 on PC, thanks to a lot of performance issues, but if the studio is to be believed, they have learned their lessons and will do a better job with their upcoming game, Prey. “We had a rough launch on the PC.
