It has some fantastic parts. It also has some real 'ugh' parts.
The mimics are some of my favourite enemies in gaming and made for some real amazing moments early on but none of the enemies after that felt as good. The space station was a lot of fun to traverse because of how much detail was in alotta the areas. A degree of backtracking was enjoyable as you could see how you'd progressed... but the sheer amount made this nowhere near as fun. The overarching story has some great beats but misses quite a few too. Overall I loved it. When Prey gets it right it's amazing. I feel like the game is trapped identity wise. No matter what it's getting comparisons. System Shock. System Shock 2. Original Prey. Prey 2. Bioshock. Etc.
One thing I've noticed with Bethseda games is how quick they drop in price in the UK. I picked up the limited edition of Prey a week after release for £20. Dishonored 2 seemed to have a similar thing. Does Bethseda just have a habit of overstocking?
