Absolutely wonderful thread! You completely convinced me to try the game out. I've never played system shock, only Bioshock and Deus Ex Human Revolution on release and really enjoyed them but never delved any further into Immersive sins before. I downloaded the Prey demo because of your glowing recommendation and after 15 minutes immediately quit. I didn't need to experience more. What I saw/felt in those few minutes of the demo, I haven't felt in years. I couldn't contain my sense of wonder and enthusiasm to explore, it really is a testament to Arkane's ability to craft an Immersive/atmospheric world.
Sadly money is tight for me right now so can't buy the game yet, but in a better world I'd totally pay full price for it, the developers and this game deserve better than a discount sale.
I have the Dishonored GOTY edition in my Steam library so I think I'm going to delve into Arkane's back catalogue in the mean time as I hear they have just as excellent level design and I like the idea of having multiple approaches.
If only you'd did a similar thread for Dishonored 1/2
Thanks again!
