Prey

[Heaven Angel]

Not an easy game at all. Hard is challenging and there are some points where it can get really frustrating. If you are familiar with shooting and genre, you can go for it. A lot of thinking before investing skill point.

 

Normal is not very easy either. It offers a balanced level of challenge with some frustration. 

 

If you want to enjoy and have less time, go for easy-normal.

If you want some challenge and have time, go for hard.

If you want to test yourself, go for the nightmare.

 

On whatever you play, make sure you are patient enough. The starting is really slow and can push you out. Great game otherwise.

Any idea when it will go below 25$?  Game flopped hard, right? 

[Heaven Angel]

In terms of sale, yeah, maybe. It's just not really curated for the masses. Older design, fantastic setting, atmosphere but the gameplay can be little dated for the modern standard. The gunplay is rather passé.  

 

But ultimately it is a pretty good game. 

 

As for the price, well, most likely during the winter sale. It was down to $40 during summer.

New update out. 

 

@Big Boss - PS4 issues resolved. 

• [PS4 only] Fixes to address screen-tearing/stuttering.
• Player can no longer become blocked from rebooting Power Plant for the Reboot mission after killing the Technopath in Life Support.
• Added weapon malfunction text for when weapons jam.
• Fixed crash when mimicking bass guitar in the Yellow Tulip.
• Extra items gained through passive neuromods, such as organs and tumors from Necropsy or spare parts through Dismantle, will now properly stack in the player's inventory automatically.

• Lights are no longer sometimes incorrectly on when the player enters the Cargo Bay for the first time
• Igwe will no longer be found in Cargo Bay when the "meet January" call is triggered.
• Mimic's wall jump attack animation is cancelled if they are stunned.
• Treasure Hunt now lists an objective and marker to return to Abigail's workstation once all the maps are investigated.
• The nightmare in the Arboretum is now able to get into the greenhouse and use ranged attacks on the player from the doorway.
• Turrets can now be hacked properly if they've been previously controlled by the Technopath.

I feel the game is quite tough at the beginning. Boss kind mimics like phantoms are hard to kill and they usually one shot you. And here I have just a gloo gun and a wrench to kill :/

Try to go around them in the beginning. Phantoms will 1 shot you. Also there will be some hidden areas through which you can get some of the weapons earlier.

Started this, was eager to play this one. How long will it take to get hands on shotgun/pistol, i love blasting stuff

[Heaven Angel]

Not long, till you've reached Talos I (level 1) 

[SpearHea:D]

Thanks, got the gloo gun. This gun needs little bit of practice to get used to.

It's also great for building makeshift stairs to reach places you cannot otherwise get to.

[SpearHea:D]

Yeah i saw that in trailers, there were few items on the shaft right above gloo canon which needed gloo stairs to reach to.

[SpearHea:D]

Got the shotgun, pretty badass. awesome kickback, sound and visual damage.

Loving exploring the station, so many ways to go to the objective, the way key codes to lockers are hidden in notes, periodic table, bibles etc is fun to find out. Also the mimics hide smartly but there is a small window to identify the transformation, love going near them and blasting them.

The grenade which recycle things and enemies into material is good too. Very good game so far.

Yep, the game is a great successor to the System Shock series. Exploring the station (especially in the first half of the game) is pure joy. I found the back half a bit too chaotic for my taste and I wish it kept the slow pace throughout. The ending "twist" is also probably not everyone's cup of tea (I personally liked it though).

 

As for weapons, I made the default pistol a beast by the end of the game.

[Vigneshs1990]

Personally I really enjoyed the game. The gameplay was pretty much satisfying. Also the story was good. All looking for all collectibles also add more value.

The difficulty spike in crew quarters is quite challenging and when you face him for the first time, considering i have zero ammo for pistol,shotty and gloo. Will do it today.

The mimic matter power is so cool and fun to use. Game ooozes style, awesome game so far
