The video memory at 3GB limits the GTX 1060 to 1920×1080 resolution
PrecisionX OC refused to launch for us after activation. We probably left overclocking performance on the table by setting our overclock manually by being unable to use the advanced overclocking features it offers
This game made me sick. It's one of the first FPS titles to do that. If you have motion sickness
Stay away
Derivative weapons
Weak storytelling
The same monsters and aliens

Combat is lackluster even to the end
Doesn't reinvent the audiolog/email-reading/locked door paradigm in any way
Doesn't have anything to do with the first Prey or long-in-development Prey 2

Prey owes a lot to its heritage, but still offers some cool new twists on old ideas. While it would've been nice to see Prey venture a little further from shore, the shooter provides a fantastic iteration of existing concepts, making it an Editors' Cho...

If the PC version of Prey hadn't become completely unplayable from crashes and save-game corruption just as it was hitting its stride, I'd have called it a very good or perhaps even great game. Its strange alternate-history universe, sidequests, hidden th...
Great Story, Optimized well for PC, Spiritual Successor to System Shock 2,
Lack of environments & Enemy NPC variety, Difficult with hard to find objectives
Prey is a really fun game right from the beginning although it starts to get a bit repetitive as it get harder near the end. If you are a completionist, you will likely put will over 30 hours into the game. If you just stick to the main storyline, you may...

With Prey, Arkane cements itself heir to the immersive sim. Dishonored reinvented the genre, particularly the Thief branch. By contrast Prey feels very old—it's precisely the System Shock 3 successor Arkane pitched it as.Mentioned in this articlePrey [Onl...
Abstract: Let's get this out of the way. Prey is fantastic and it's one of the best games to come out this year. It may also be one of the best games to ever grace the Xbox One due to its unique atmosphere. In Prey, you awaken aboard Talos I, a space station orbiti...

Walking into this review, the questions on everyone's lips were "Is this game going to have the same issues is Dishonored 2?" and " will this suffer from the same problmes as other recent CryEngine releases?". To say the least, this game performs a lot be...
After running Prey on the most popular graphics cards out there, there is no denying that the game runs very very well on all hardware. Even a weak card like the GTX 1050 non-Ti manages 60 FPS at 1080p. For fluid 4K gaming, a GTX 1080 is sufficient, some...
Abstract: Bethesda works in mysterious ways. Sometimes it gives us exactly what we'd expect - things like DOOM, Quake, or Fallout - but sometimes it decides to pick up something we never thought we'd see again. Such is the case with Prey, which showed up during...
