Looks pretty cool! Hopefully it's not as creepy as that trailer suggests... I might not be brave enough to play it otherwise. 
Try Prey for yourself with the Opening Hour, available now! As previously mentioned, you can check out the first hour (or more, depending on how you play) of Morgan Yu’s first day on the job. (Spoiler: It doesn’t go too well.) Before Prey’s May 5 release, kick off your journey through Talos I and fight the alien invasion that’s threatening all of humanity. The Prey Demo: Opening Hour is available worldwide today for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Let us know what you think after you've tried the demo. I hope to give it a go over the weekend if I get the chance.Gonna give the demo a shot. Interesting concept!
I haven't played any of the previous Prey games, so my take is really based off of comparisons to Arkane's involvement with stuff like System Shock and Bioshock 2. Also played Dishonored which didn't light up my life.
Anyways game is definitely pretty interesting. Certainly reminiscent of Bioshock in its makeup with a similarly unnerving atmosphere. Really enjoyed the intro to the demo (I love when they get playful with title integration in games/movies etc... Saul Bass be damned!) and dig its synthwave/glitchy soundtrack - of course it had to be Mick Gordon!
Seems to have a nice variety of novel weapons like the GLOO Gun and placeable turrets too. Never truly been fond of the kleptoshock forage everything from trash cans and eat it style gameplay that's still encouraged here lol, but thankfully you can also use items on the spot instead of endless menu switching. Enemies are... a little generic loooking but they seem to hit pretty hard and mimicry is a cool gimmick so it should at least (in theory) stop things from getting too stale. Also as per usual lots of upgrade trees and choose your own path gameplay on offer here.
Of course what really hooks me with these kind of games is an interesting story and the setup is pretty cool. Not entirely sure what difference character choice makes either but I'm assuming there has to be some reason for the choice of siblings. Could be some good replay value or alternative scenario to run through after your first go. If the demo is anything to go by, looks like it could have a few nice twists and turns with the usual mix of alien/identity/moral science conscience stuff.
Definitely worth a look and I may well pick it up at some point.
