A World of Science and Shadows

Set aboard the massive Talos I space station, Prey drops you into a sleek, art-deco inspired orbiting city where everything seems calm — until it’s not. You play as Morgan Yu, a scientist involved in experiments that could reshape humanity. Unfortunately, things go horribly wrong when alien creatures known as the Typhon escape containment and begin to take over the station.

From that moment, Talos I becomes a labyrinth of fear and discovery. Every corridor hides danger. Every shadow could be a creature in disguise. And yes — even a harmless-looking coffee mug could be your next attacker.

Gameplay That Rewards Creativity

What makes Prey stand out is its freedom of choice. You can sneak past enemies, hack systems, build turrets, or go in guns blazing. The game gives you tools, but never dictates how to use them.

As you explore, you’ll collect resources, craft weapons, and unlock alien abilities — like Mimic Matter, which lets you transform into objects. Want to roll across the floor as a teacup to avoid enemies? Go for it. Prey thrives on experimentation.

It’s not a linear shooter — it’s a sandbox of survival and strategy, where your intelligence is your strongest weapon.

The Atmosphere – Haunting and Beautiful

Talos I isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a character in itself. The station’s retro-futuristic design, inspired by 1960s architecture and Cold War aesthetics, makes it feel both familiar and alien. The soundtrack, composed by Mick Gordon, layers eerie electronic tones with sudden bursts of tension, keeping your nerves on edge throughout.

Whether you’re creeping through a dimly lit lab or gazing at Earth from a shattered window, the sense of isolation is constant. Prey captures that perfect blend of beauty and dread that defines great science fiction.

Mooncrash Expansion – Infinite Replayability

Included in the Digital Deluxe Edition, Mooncrash is more than just a DLC — it’s a fresh take on the Prey formula.

Set on a lunar base, this standalone story introduces five unique characters, each with different abilities and challenges. The twist? Every run is different. Mooncrash uses a rogue-lite system, meaning enemies, loot, and objectives change every time you play.

The goal is to escape the base, but survival depends on how well you adapt to its shifting dangers. It’s a clever, replayable addition that extends the life of the game dramatically.

What’s Inside the Digital Deluxe Edition

Here’s what you get when you pick up Prey: Digital Deluxe Edition:

Performance and Design

On modern hardware, Prey runs beautifully. Arkane’s CryEngine-powered visuals still hold up today — reflections, lighting, and environmental detail are top-notch. The physics system makes every object feel tactile and real, which enhances the immersion when you realize that anything could be an enemy in disguise.

And while it’s not a “jump-scare” horror game, the psychological tension it builds is relentless. You’ll find yourself double-checking rooms and second-guessing your own instincts.
