The editors didn't like

  • The video memory at 3GB limits the GTX 1060 to 1920×1080 resolution

  • A lot of interesting ideas, a bang-up introduction to all the characters, and then a deeply flawed game. It could have been so good, but the shoddy story-telling and limited weapon and enemy selection took away from the fun of the portals and gravity p...

  • Innovative gameplay; creative environments; best use of the Doom III engine.
  • Some unoriginal enemies and weapons; only deathmatch in multiplayer.
  • Prey is an old school shooter with better standards than the shooters weve seen lately. It has its flaws, but theyre overshadowed by its quality and innovation.
