Abstract: Many of my favourite games are immersive sims, but compiling this list was an interesting challenge, as it's becoming increasingly difficult to define what “counts” as an immersive sim. Over the last 10 to 15 years, games from all manner of other genres h...

Abstract: DSIt took me a while to get Prey and I think that's down to the fact it feels almost too familiar at first.This is a sci-fi epic where you are stranded on a space station in an alternative future where the space race never ended.Having discovered black gl...
Abstract: How do you add intricacy to a genre as fearsomely intricate, as batty with systems, variables and knock-on effects as the so-called "immersive simulation"? One of Prey 's answers to that question - and I promise this isn't me feeling around for a headline...

Meaty and intelligent, great abilities system, requires ingenuity, cleverly assembled storyline without cutscenes, fearsome alien enemies

Excellent level design, Great visual style, Super soundtrack, Typhon abilities great fun, Creative puzzle solving
Mainline story is lacking, Lead character feels entirely passive in narrative, Closing stages suffer from aggressive ramp in difficulty
Arkane knows how to make excellent games, and has kept up its form with Prey. There's so much to see aboard Talos 1, and so many ways in which to find it, that the replayability is huge.I'd definitely encourage players to discuss with others how they comp...
Prey is brilliantly put together, with tense combat, a deep setting to explore, and the potential for amazing variation in play styles. It's only let down by a story that falters just as it seems to be taking off, and the fact that most of its best ideas...
