• Steam review (copied with added screenshots).
Prey is quite reminiscent of Bioshock 1. So presumably System Shock, too? (I've never got around to it.) With a hack mini-game, for one thing. Also, the post disaster exploration of an Island of Doctor Moreau super-science setting. This time, a near future massive space station in lunar orbit. Realised due to an alternate history where President Kennedy lives to 100 and there’s cooperation with the soviet space, etc. As discovered by in-game background materials, of which there’s a good amount.
The game’s promotional material had put me off for a couple years, with an apparent emphasis on psychological and body horror (the eye injections). But I was glad that this wasn’t really representative. There were no jump scares, and none of the squalor or wildly demented characters of Bioshock.
