Loved the intro and early twist to this game. Gave me the same vibes I had playing Half-life for the first time all those years ago.

Great game, even if I didn't like the combat.

Oh, that's really fun! I'm surprised I haven't seen Arkane/Xbox making a bigger deal of this on social media. I got most of the way through this game last year but dropped off at a late game difficulty spike. I'm planning on diving back in when the FPS Boost update hits - I can't wait!

The weird thing about this post is that I just started playing this yesterday since it's on GamePass now. I didn't catch that the date was March 15 though.

Literally just completed my 5th or so playthrough minutes ago, different set of achievements on pc game pass vs console so I wanted to give it another run through. Just an amazing game that really shows its depth with multiple playthrough. Truly an amazing game, one of the best of the generation, I hope more people can discover it now on game pass.

I remember being so disappointed when they dropped the aesthetic of the Prey reimagining for this....then I played this game and it was all kinds of amazing. One of the most fun and interesting games in recent years.

Still need to try the DLC.

I really need to play Mooncrash, the only Arkhan produced game/expansion I didn't get around to playing it this generation.

I'll fight for this game and Dishonored any day. They are so so fantastic and I'll be there day one for anything they make. I really hope they can continue with this quality under Microsoft. There are just so many details and nearly every bit of exploration is rewarded in some way.

Might be one of my favorites of last gen. Easily my favorite Arkane game as well.

Mooncrash is great too. Rougelites and immersive sims go together pretty well as it turns out.

Perfect OP.

I'm playing Thief right now and sometimes I find myself thinking of Prey (and Dishonored, and System Shock), in the sense that it's the current culmination of that style of games (alongside Dishonored 2).

I would have never thought this would beat Dishonored for me, but it just eeks past it.

a true immersive sim with
1) an interesting story, world building and twists,
2) great and varied locations / set pieces,
3) competent combat with meaningful skill progression, and
4) enjoyable puzzle/ environmental puzzle/ mysteries to solve

Really hit the spot for me, I would love to see a sequel with better encounter design, better control, more enemy varieties, more choices that affect the playthrough and maybe more living NPCs.. but ofc we prolly won't see one...

Happy PREY day, y'all!

And for those of you who haven't played it but have Game Pass, now is the time to fix that. 😎
