[@ZakEmber]

Mimics might just be the biggest stroke of genius I've ever seen in a video game. As a game designer, it lets you constantly re-use assets you've already created with an in-universe driven reason. As a player, we've been taught in 99% of the games we play to ignore the clutter in a room. But the genius of the mimics is that it takes a habit we've formed from other games an uses it against us. That's why I felt this was absolutely brilliant! You have to re-learn the way you think and develop a whole new set of habits. And unlike a lot of jumpscares in other games, the mimics stay fresh the WHOLE GAME. You never know exactly where they are, what they've become, and even when you have a psychoscope, you still can miss them. I ended up not enjoying the first hour or so of Prey, (until I finally got my hands on decent weapons and a few neuromods) at which point I enjoyed it immensely. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys either Deus Ex: Human Revolution or Mankind Divided, or any Dishonored game. Once you get into a groove, it's hard to put down. I'd also add that the station itself was a much better playground then most games get to have. There were so many different subplots between the employees I learned about through e-mails, notes, (and even a hilarious glue sculpture) that really made Talos 1 feel alive and dead simultaneously. Instead of just random NPC's, there's an exact count of how many people are on the station at any given time, alive or dead, and you can track any of them down you want. And when you're also reading their e-mails, notes, computer logs, a videos, I couldn't help but feel the loss of these people in a way I usually don't for most NPC's in games. That's impressive. Definitely buy!

[@tyleranderson9579]

I'm not far in but the mimics haven't been too great in my opinion. There's been at least three in every room for me and they appear straight away even when I don't go near the objects

[@adams13245]

Another thing is the recycling system. If you can pick up an object, odds are you can recycle it for raw materials. So if you're low on metal, get a ton of trash cans and operator bodies, put them together and chuck a recycler grenade at them. Works well as a weapon too.

[@adams13245]

Those are not scripted, btw. Arkane said they created entire AI system that behaves on its own, with certain limits. That’s why you don’t see any objects smaller than coffee cups and no pens or pencils.

Until you get mimic detection gen 2

[@Bonezone84]

How did you not even touch on the Recycler and Fabricator?! One of the best features of the game. For those of you that dont know - you can recycle literally anything in the game - then use the Fabricator to create the items you want. It gives you freedom to progress how you choose.

[@jx592]

Its like Minecraft crafting table, but it spits out physical dynamic cubes and is super satisfying

[@godlyMike127]

This is why I always harp on level design and atmosphere as being the single most important thing right behind actual game mechanic design. If your game plays great and has great mechanics but the world I'm playing in is contrived, boring, or otherwise lackluster, I'm not going to want to play. This is why I personally hated GTA IV after playing and loving San Andreas - GTA IV was just endless concrete and grey buildings (same reason I hate NYC in real life lol). This game sold me on it's environment within 5 minutes. Very well done atmosphere, not only actual construction but also vibe and lighting. Reminds me of perhaps my favorite game of all time - Metroid Prime.

[@LUGG824]

Literally one of the scariest moments I've had about 14 hours in, was when I entered a new area and the nightmare typhoon was there. This was my first encounter with this thing and the game gave me the option to run or fight, I chose to run lol. I use the backlash ability and then absolutely leg it to a cabin I'd just found the key card for. I'm running and I don't hear any sounds or anything so I think I'm alright but then I turn around and HOLY FUCK ITS RIGHT INFRONT OF ME! So I just sat it the cabin until it went away hahaha

[@bigwitchbear8372]

I played the demo and loved it so much, because it many things can really hit the level of unease that Prey does so well. I find that general unexpected encounters with Phantoms really get me though, or hearing them behind me as I hurriedly sprint away with the resources I needed.

[@maestbobo]

Ther's a great sequence in a bar where you have to blast some music to get an audio sample. The noise attracts all the enemies in the are and hiding isn't really an option so you get this fantastic sequence of 60-90 seconds with balls-to-the-walls running and gunning with awesome pumped up music playing the background. It's particularly satisfying because, in most playstyles, your usual approach will involve picking your fights carefully and relying a lot on stealth. So this is just a little moment when the game goes 'hey, you know what? Let loose for a bit, have fun!'.

[@nazhaz6479]

A lot of people complain about the weapons being underwhelming, but it’s kind of the point. You aren’t meant to run around gunning everything down. Combat is more about planning your approach to the fight more than anything. Everything down to the toy crossbow is a valuable asset to your arsenal. For example: the toy crossbow is the cheapest way to deal with cystoids if you don’t have a box to chuck at em. I think what turns people off from Prey is just how creative you can get with it’s mechanics. Not a lot of games are designed with that flexibility in mind so the concept of Prey is quite alien to most. For the players who thrive in this kind of mechanical environment, Prey is an easy game even at the hardest difficulties. For players who are used to more structured gameplay mechanics/simpler mechanics, frustration awaits them. errrr... In my opinion

[@ajr2641]

From my experience, while I found myself thinking of Bioshock frequently, this game gave me a MUCH different feel. for me, this seems like a fantastic spiritual successor to bioshock. Combat feels remarkably familiar, but the plethora of creative solutions are implemented in such a way that non violence seems more like an accomplishment than a convenience. Even the awkward combat has its rewards, because we're not marines, Morgan is a scientist, and while this may not scratch the fps itch you may expect, it feels really natural for those of us who are less ballistically inclined, and it encourages a different playstyle that is unique in recent years.

This game was so engaging, especially in replay. Also it does a great job of balancing the enemy, the weapons are basically useless on their own and you find yourself trying to find somewhere to hide. My first encounter with the nightmare was as I entered a new area it let out that Whooomp noise. The Nightmare is hunting you and I took off running and just hid. Of course later you get more powerful and you can hunt the nightmare. And the DLC was such a novel expansion on the game.

[@Foreseer117]

Ali Hamza Why is everyone bitching about the graphics? It looks great, it's a more detailed, refined look of dishonored's art style. The exaggeration of the models gives it it's own unique look. Second, like they said in the video, after the section the demo covers the game really opens up and becomes so much more. The music bug is also fixed in the full game. Third, enemy design is subjective but I love how they look, fluid, formless, unknown, the way lights flicker as phantoms walk by them, it all adds to their design. The combat has it's faults but it works well. All in all this game is a 9 at minimum, it's engrossing in the extreme and by far my favorite game of 2017 so far.

Lazy Jew promiesd review of Total Warhammer at the last summer though..

[@thisninja11]

Angry joe is annoying af

[@HUGEEGO11]

Good review as always. I personally love the homage to bioshock. It's a really fun survival horror too. Agree the gameplay sometimes feels "clunky" but the powers work really well. That nightmare scared tf outta me when I first came across it lol.

[@mythx9961]

Love your vids Gameranx, Keep It Up :D !!!!

[@lizc.214]

I bought this game a few weeks ago (haven't got around to playing it yet) and just now saw your video, love the way you describe the game and add your personal views on it. Now I'm glad I bought it and excited to start my journey with it!! Thanks for the video!

[@winghong3]

What an underrated gem. This, along with the Deus Ex series, are amongst my favorite immersive sims. Miss the old days, studios just don't make good immersive sims anymore...

[@jjaze9831]

Prey is free on Epic Games now go get it before its too late.

[@EdgarDeath1986]

45hrs in first play through just doing everything. a solid 7 for sure. picks up really good at the end. A little to late though.

[@mitchellsharp1456]

33 hrs in and still waiting for that pick up

[@PositiveOnly00]

2:21 "Prey really shines in its level design" *Background AI start glitching* lol

[@devin1442]

docmass15 Those enemies are supposed to glitch lol.

[@ramonmartinez7775]

Watching these vids since getting Gamepass has been very helpful!

[@crazyhead1412]

Most scary moment is in the lift when the light goes off and a phantom stares you in the eyes...

[@bigchreese8886]

that touch screen jump scare you showed at the end had me shitting my pants when I played through it.

[@GodOfWar05100]

REAL SHIT

[@efilwv1635]

I played 2 hours so far. Still not sure if I’ll like it or not. Feels like a first person metroidvania styled game (which are always hit and miss with me). I’m an OCD gamer so I make sure to check every room for everything. Gets annoying sometimes. Haven’t experienced too much combat yet (other than hitting mimics with my wrench). Didn’t upgrade much yet. I find the story very intriguing so far. It may end up being a 10/10 game for me. We shall see! I feel as if I’m gonna be hard to please after just beating The Witcher 3.

[@AintPopular]

how is it now

[@efilwv1635]

Ak47 a solid 8/10. I recommend it!

[@danielsummers555]

I hadn't played a good game in full for a long time and I wanted to get back into it. I was a big fan of the Alien movies and i think the game i played before was starwars the fallen order and played some Assassins Creed. all on xbox. and so i was like im gunna commit to playing this game. head phones on, give it a real go. and to be honest it blew me away. one of the best games i've ever played hands down. it was everything i was looking for, sci-fi dark mystery vibe. got me using my bain and became invested in seeing it through. people who know know, what should i do with Talos and the information you find out. what happened to eveyone and should you trust Alex. it was a freaky cool experience and i definitely felt like i had just completed something epic. highly recommend, but you have to be in the vibe for the mystery eeriness horror

[@Winter_RainDT]

I appreciate videos like this. It saves me money and or enforce my decision to buy certain games.

[@bryanguthrie4101]

I always look forward to the before you buy videos. Mainly I'm already playing the games you guys discuss. Your opinions are always spot on with mine and it's why I love your channel so much. Keep up the good work guys.

[@Slipknot4769]

"It's pretty similar to Bioshock" GIVE ME IT. GIVE ME IT NOW.

[@callumhall2432]

IGN? FUCK THAT ANGRY JOE? FUCK THAT GAMERANX? HELL YEAH

[@BustlingKiwi]

I'd recommend ACG as well if you want another truthful game reviewer.

[@sKullzoo9]

P H hell yeah ACG is the man

[@kingquan3826]

Clorox Bleach AGC, Angry Joe and Gameranx are my favorite of all

[@cesaramoga]

no sir, I respectfully disagree. I think ACG is the best unbiased and professional channel for video games on youtube. Karak is the man!

[@callumhall2432]

P H yeah acg is fucking great

[@yeaboi587]

i loved the music and atmosphere of this game.

[@Shizowak]

I was on the fence until I watched this video. loving the game so far, thanks! Love your before you buy videos!

[@theewhitemantaray]

This game is absolutely fantastic for me so far, except Rani!! Every time I walk into the Aboretum mimics spawn and seem to kill her, although I haven't seen a dead body yet. But the heart warming feeling of lullabying people to unconsciousness with a tesla coil gun then later seeing a green safe next to their name in the security computer is amazing and oddly rewarding.

[@twiztid571]

who else watches before you buy videos after you buy the game 😅🤣

[@nitishaggarwal3739]

Always😂, I just love to listen views of other people of the game which I already played

[@joab757]

I'll have to play this summer, but after Nioh and Nier.

[@TheUberSuperNova]

Damn, i really need to get back to Nier, too many good games right now.

[@Irraptured]

Same. I started it and got like halfway through then stopped to play other titles. And now with steam sale, I have like 17 more games.

[@vikings426]

I hated this game at first but after 3 hours in I'm hooked. I wish this game had more enemy types and iron sights.

[@THEmonochromebanana]

Oh just you wait until you meet the 'Paths...

[@neopup1776]

Vikings426 that was the same with me, played for few hours. Left it for months, picked it up last week and beat the game just now!

[@duckduckgoose8049]

Games don't need iron sights to be good. Take half life, system shock, quake, doom, and counter strike for example.

[@themangastand8475]

I prefer it without iron sights I think iron sights would ruin the horror feel more if you can aim better

[@elliotlemon8402]

I think something you forgot to talk about is the exploration in the game. Because sometimes, the game Will let you find routes that Will lead you completely new places that are far, far away from the Main objective. Which is awesome.

[@Huss_D]

This game is so good! Im halfway through it atm and I’m loving it. It should have got more attention when released, or maybe it did and I just missed it completely. I think it’s even better than the dishonoured games.

[@zikkeboi]

I've just finished the Bioshock trilogy for the 4th time, so this is definetly the next game I'll buy :D

[@johnmirra6707]

It literally takes every mechanic from bioshock and makes them worse.

[@JC-li8kk]

What about Alien Isolation and Metro Exodus? Only ask cuz all 3 games are $30 right now. Which of the 3 is best?

[@thebigskitt246]

You had me at *"Bioshock in space"*

[@dontstopmeenow]

I used all my materials and weapons so sparingly that I had over 100 of each material, 50 medkits, 70 something psi’s, and hundreds of each kind of ammo except for the shotgun which was at about 120. Needless to say, using the wrench as often as I did made it a bit difficult until I realized I was nearing the end and could actually use stuff whenever I felt like it. Pretty good game tho

[@Moholeoel]

That bit at the end of your video with the touch screen. Terrifying! Made me jump out of my skin.

[@maximrukinov3101]

I ve been playing Prey for 4 hours and still didn't leave the area where Morgan's office situated: this game is damn deep.

[@JC-jz6rx]

*looks at title Too late. Already bought it. It's amazing

[@arefield]

I'm a guy with a very low budget trying to use every penny as wisely as possible, do you recommend I get this game?

[@erblderbl3951]

Zach Zach game is worth it

[@arefield]

+SlayBells Why not? And what game should I get?

[@morallyemptycorruptedmaggot]

SlayBells lol right. Buy *Destiny 2* but dont buy this game. LOL

[@SolidPython2099]

Zach Zach play the beginning hour demo and see if you'll get into it. I didn't, i found the game boring and clunky.

[@android19willpwn]

Itachi2099 I really don't think the demo is a good metric to judge whether you'll get into the game because the vast majority of people who ended up liking it say that it didn't really grab them until after the point where the demo ends. Now, that being said, if you're on a tight budget wanting the most for your money then a 15-hour single player game is probably not the best use of your funds, especially given the great longer games which have already come out this year.

[@nydeh3014]

This is probably the most original game of 2017, and it's not even original

[@ChieffRocka]

Nydeh it is original.

[@jip789]

Nydeh It's a reboot.

[@JTReviewsPlus]

cheese burger it's kinda a reboot but Arcane (or Arkane) stated that it has nothing to do with the first one and the concept and story are way different. So technically it is original...

[@markmaidens5911]

Nydeh Resi 7, BotW, Little Nightmares. There ya go.

[@Trickway0]

Horizon zero dawn?

[@chaosmadness4107]

They could improve the combat by removing the side look buttons L1 R1 and replace L1 with the ability activation skill. L2 becoming the aim weapons but when you're equipped with a meele weapon it becomes blocking. R1 perfect to throw grenades. Now they should add when you're behind cover press R3 like in MW2 to peak sides or over the cover. Also put double press (circle) to dodge. Last but not least add upgrades to the wrench and also elemental attachments like fire, ice, electricity, and rock like the (gloo gun) material. Or even adding gravity effect, kenesis effect or acid effect. That would be nice.

[@nurgle-j5n]

this dude is playing a FPS with a controller lol

[@mr.esabsurditiesatrocities1805]

Watching through your various vids, I felt the need to comment here as I just finished up Prey last night and something you said in the video was spot on for me. The first half of the game, I was very underwhelmed and honestly, bored. Lots of tedium to slog through, but enough to keep me going I guess. The next quarter or so become more enjoyable, but wasn't quite ringing my bell in full. The last quarter, became really good and quite a bit of fun. I'm glad I stuck it out.

[@teentitan2514]

ordered this on amazon. I prey prey to be good

[@lukasniebuhr6870]

ayyyyyyyy saw what you did there

[@AngrySpaceMoose]

pray*

[@theroyalzubair]

well preyed sir!👏👏

[@changefullstew3649]

The music and the sound effects make the game 10x scarier

[@feeniks100]

I bought the game and played through it to the bitter end. I'm going to try and not to spoil the story because trust me, it really takes off in the end. That whole blow up Talos 1, turns out to be only one of the routes you can take. Even though the levels seem linear and there is a lot of backtracking if you want to finish the many optional quests, it still manages to keep things interesting. Were those two boxes there when i last came around? Oh shit there's a phantom out here because the lights are flickering. And what i really liked about Prey, it gave you choices. Do you preserve your humanity while modifying yourself with neuromods? Or do you embrace the raw and awesome power of the Typhon scourge and become a psychic god of war, turning their own powers against them? Will you be a savior? Even thought the Typhon are infesting Talos 1, there are still survivors. Do you help them, or will you abandon them to their fate because of what you are about to do. The characters and their interactions with the player are in my opinion, superb. I really felt involved when we spoke, when i learned more of my lost self from them and through the many emails aboard Talos 1. The whole game keeps you guessing from start to finish. Who is lying to you? Who speaks the truth? Are you lying to yourself? What is the truth? Can everything really be solved by blowing it into pieces? Or has the lid already been lifted on Pandora's Box. Until finally, the truth is revealed.

[@juliansalazar7097]

This game is literally Bioshock in space.. It's absolutely incredible. I love reading the emails and finding all the secrets. The atmosphere is spot on too. I have also not had a single technical problem (playing on PS4 Pro) If you like Bioshock, System Shock, Dishonored or Half Life then give this a chance if you're on the fence, trust me

[@demonicgrub1025]

So, I've been playing a ton of prey since it came out, and I think that the biggest gameplay thing that sticks with me is that just about every weapon and ability you get has its use. There Is no weapon in this game that I haven't used extensively, and of all the abilities in the game that I've gotten they are all cool and useful against different enemies and in different situations. Basically everything has its place, there aren't any items that feel completely useless. Even the damn nerf crossbow weapon can be really useful for luring single enemies away from a big group. And thats a crossbow that literally shoots foam darts that do no damage.

[@cheeseblock8063]

I get alot of Bioshock Dishonred Half-Life and some elder scrolls references.

7 years have already passed since this legendary game. System Shock 3 for me.

[@tickets23]

An "OH SHIT!" Moment for me, when i was in the lobby after i watched the second part of my video to myself. The higher level typhon spotted me from across the lobby. Then in a split second it zoomed over to me, swiped and throw me into the air as my critical health warning was blaring! I jumped higher than i have in a long time. Simply because i wasnt expecting it! This is a beautiful game. Where the story picks up and dives deep within a few hours. The fact that you dont have a ton of materials, deciding what to craft and where to put your nurostims all the more crucial. This game deserves way more praise then it got. A true gem in a haystack!
