Prey Review

It's taken a few years but we're finally going to see Prey in stores this week. You were already able to play the demo, but is the full game just as much fun? Yes, says David in his review of the game.
You certainly won't find any cars or tanks to drive in Prey, but at times you can fly around in a small biomechanical spaceship, in yet another way you'll be required to overcome puzzle obstacles. In one instance, the small flying pod required me to zoom around to different power plants in order to deactivate them, thereby powering down a large whirring fan located above me, which would allow me to pass through it. The controls to shut down the power plants were protected by force fields, which provided an obstacle to my physical body—but not my spiritual essence. There's a bit more to it, but I don't want to give anything away. I enjoyed this puzzle, because Prey wasn't content to force me to use only the pod I had inhabited to proceed; it blended puzzle-solving skills I had used before and combined them with new features, which amounted to giving me a higher feeling of satisfaction when I was able to complete the area.
