Prey (2017) Review
A first-person shooter that plays like an elaborate survival simulation with light RPG elements, this game is great for those who enjoy a detailed plot and ominous atmosphere alongside customization options that allow for a great number of solutions to each problem.Sleuthing in SpaceAfter one of the most memorable introductions I've seen in any game (if you've played through the tutorial and started the actual game, you'll know what I mean, and if you haven't, please don't spoil it for yourself), you'll find yourself on a space station just after a disaster has struck.Most of the game is spent making your

The amazing pixel graphics help, but it’s the flood of ideas at work that turn it into a charming hit worthy of a Michelin star or two.Sushi ExtravaganzaDave the Diver threads into an
