This week I'm talking all about Prey. No major spoilers but some minor ones about side quests.
Talos-1, the space station Arkane's Prey takes place on, is a strikingly familiar place. If you've found yourself walking through Rapture or System Shock 2's Von Braun, a lot of Arkane's new RPG/action hybrid might feel like an old hat. All three games, after all, cover the same beats. You're being led through a fantastical environment filled with various dangers, both monstrous and environmental, collecting audio tapes along the way that help paint a clearer picture of what their respective settings were like before everything went to hell.
