Buy Prey, folks. Fantastic game.
We need more intelligently designed games like that, not less.
I agree, it's a special game. Even in year where we are floodet with amazing games like this. If you have any love for Immersive Sims like System Shock, then this is a must buy. It has the best designed space station, i have seen unil yet, even beating the Sevastopol from Alien Isolation. It also has a very good story and a varied cast of characters, many with their own secrets that wait for you to uncover them.
This is my Game of the Year.
Also saw Alien Isolation on sale. Think i'm gonna rebuy it. It's one of the best horror games of the last few years. The only other ones that could reach its heights were Soma (and Prey, if you count that as horror) for me, for completely different reasons though.
If you can stomach a game where you will never feel safe, even for a sec, and with tension always remaining high. Then i think you will enjoy this one.
