    Prey 2017 was one of the best immersive sims ever made. It wasn’t what people were expecting which led to a flop that nearly destroyed the studio. If you get the chance please please don’t sleep on it.

    There was an unfounded rumor (now discredited) that it was supposed to be called Neuroshock. If it had been called that then players would have had a better idea what kind of game it is.

      It’s a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, which was a pleasant surprise. Definitely agree that Neuroshock would have been a more fitting title. Probably publisher or C suite meddling.
