5. PREY

PREY Gameplay

Prey takes a bit of a different route with its horror stylings. The core gameplay is all about upgrading your arsenal and evolving your unique abilities while unravelling a deep and complex story. It just so happens that you—an either male or female Morgan Yu—are one of the few surviving humans onboard a space station that is now crawling with a murderous alien species.

The ‘typhon’ are organisms capable of mimicking physical objects, corrupting other organisms and technology, and manipulating the space around them with psychokinetic powers. The gameplay is built around flexibility, so it’s up to you whether you want to take the more subtle and stealthy route—even avoiding combat in many situations—or just throw caution to the wind and shove a shotgun down each of their alien throats. You also have many unique abilities to choose from using ‘Neuromods’—even adopting some of the typhon’s abilities if you’re willing to sacrifice a bit of humanity…

Although it’s much more action-oriented than Alien Isolation, the dark atmosphere, sci-fi setting, and formidable alien foes definitely put it in a similar arena. It also has its fair share of dread and jump-inducing moments.

As dark as night; as fast as light: aside from their own natural forms, the typhon can corrupt living things (like people) and turn them into powerful and vicious monsters

Easy, big fella: the typhon possess impressive supernatural abilities. The good news is that you might just get to use them for yourself
