Was looking around to find the prey thread but I think it got archived. Started playing this today after picking it up in a steam sale and it's frankly awesome. I just left the opening area for the first time after poking around for a while and trying to fight that fire demon in the sick bay a few times before running away scared.

I was glad I played hard. It's cool how much you can do from the start -- I probably spent like 2 hours going through the Neuromods division after getting to the lobby before following the first story queue lol

Should I just start on hard? I'm very familiar with the Dishonored/Deus Ex/System Shock play style and I want my first experience to be challenging

Yeah after doing Normal for a bit I think Hard is the way to go, forces you to use your abilities more & keeps the tension better.

Yeah I hadn't played any of those games in forever and still enjoyed hard mode.You might have to run away from a fight or two or find ways to incorporate environmental hazards or whatever but it's never felt unfair

yes. maybe my favourite game of the last five years. close between it and witcher 3. i hope arkane does a deus ex-like, after putting out such loving cool thief and system shock-likes.

good game. was very skeptical when they said its a spiritual sequel to system shock for like the 5th time but it was actually right

It’s awesome OP. Tbh I’ve never really been able to get into any System Shock/Deus Ex style games but for some reason Prey really grabbed me

I've reached Psychotronics Lab, haven't really been focused with my neuromods since it seems like you get enough that you can kinda do everything. I've been focusing on hacking and using the wrench though bc that's how you play System Shock

Wrench is godlike with Combat Focus 3 and the wrench damage upgrades you can just slow time and beat the poo poo out of anythinfb

The Neuromod lore is pretty cool and seemed to be entirely optional to discover, which I appreciated.

It's kinda funny that they prevent you from building one billion neuromods once you get the fabrication kit. But once I get Hacking 4 and the last movement speed bonus not sure what else I would even get. I wanna stay away from the psionics since I want to retain my humanity (lore friendly).

I'm not sure what I did that you didn't but somehow I unlocked unlimited neuromod fabrication very very early, like as soon as i got the plans for it. I guess it's something I found in the neuromod division?

edit: also doing a human-only run here :cheers: but i'll probably go back and do a psionic only run in NG+ and also try to kill every human on the ship

The main thing that bugged me about playing on Normal was that the mimics felt way too easy to shrug off

Fighting anything more complicated than a mimic in this game reveals how lovely the combat is.
