Prey
We have to squeak this one in here, especially after playing the hour-long Prey demo. As of right now, the release of Prey is mere hours away, and we cannot wait to boot it up and dive into the story of Talos I.
For many Battlefield players, the story in Battlefield 1 is one of the best stories told in recent gaming. Another excellent game that had an incredible story was BioShock, and Prey might as well be the spiritual successor to the first BioShock game.
Set in a space station orbiting the Moon, players take control of Morgan Yu, a scientist who's suffering from memory problems and is faced with the sudden realization that the entire station is overrun with aliens known as the Typhon.
Armed with your wits, guns, and Neuromods, the combat in Prey feels extremely similar to BioShock and another recent successful franchise, Deus Ex. The creators behind Prey, Arkane Studios, were the team behind the popular Dishonored series as well as the underappreciated game, BioShock 2.
Prey gives us the single-player experience we need after slogging through the multiplayer trenches in Battlefield. With a mystery to uncover, skills to unlock, weapons to craft, and abilities to learn, Prey is definitely going to keep us hooked for a long time.
