Join me as I play Prey (2017) on PlayStation 4. This is part 3 of my Prey playthrough where I pick back up in the Psychotronic Division from Part 2. I’m introduced to Greater Mimics hiding as coffee cups, a room filled with Post-It notes, I continually refuse to equip Typhon abilities, I encounter a convicted criminal and I have the choice whether or not to kill him for some item rewards (what do I do?), and then I fly up the anti gravity tunnel to the Arboretum where I see a giant terrifying Typhon for the first time, but then also encounter my first Telepath who I try to kill without accidentally killing humans it controls. I also see new variants of the Phantom, before finally finding out the cause of the central elevator not working…
Until next time…buh-bye!
About Prey (2017)
Prey is a first person shooter game developed by Arkane Studios and published in 2017 by Bethesda Softworks on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows systems. In this science fiction horror game, players control Morgan Yu (who can be either male or female depending on choice) who must deal with an outbreak of an alien species known as the Typhon aboard the lunar-orbit space station Talos I.
Talos I operates as a sort of open world environment, with certain Metroidvania aspects in that the player can’t access all areas of the station until they obtained certain items or variations of different abilities. Players can develop abilities for Morgan from choices between human-derived skill or Typhon-derived ones, which changes not only how you play the game but also how the plot can develop.
