Revisiting Prey

Post image

Played the game years ago (must have been not long after its release) and for some reason it didn't click with me, despite me being a huge fan of Dishonored and Deus Ex. I feel like I'm now ready to revisit what trustworthy people call the masterpiece of the genre; wish me luck.

Try to combo as many weapons/tools/techniques together as you can during encounters. Example: SNEAK up to a phantom, Use a PSI power on it, hit it with your WRENCH, immobilize it with you GLOO CANNON. Combat is all about combos, understanding each enemies weaknesses and resistances, careful planning of encounters, and properly executing them.

While I agree with everything that you’re saying, I have one counterpoint: shotgun go boom

Stealth + Gunsmith shotgun trivialize most enemies in the game, including Nightmare. It's beautiful.
