Prey

(10% of vote) arkane four studios • reviewed: issue 263 • score: 8

This is a choice that seemed to come right out of left field. When Prey first came out a lot of us liked it but it was swamped by a number of other excellent games that came out around the same time, and deadlines usually means that you can’t delve as deeply into a game as you might like. When you have the time to delve into Prey, however, something truly special emerges. A fascinating world ripe for exploration and experimentation. With Prey, Arkane took what they learned from the Dishonored series and expanded it seamlessly into science fiction nightmare.
