Arkane's space-station immersive sim where every coffee mug might be a threat or a tool.
Prey (2017) earns its iconic status through its Talos I layout, Mimic enemies, GLOO Cannon, Neuromod powers, and multiple problem-solving routes made the station feel like one giant design puzzle. It is not just remembered as a release; it became a reference point players and designers still use when talking about genre, pacing, structure, or cultural afterlife.

Why it matters
Prey matters because it is one of the strongest modern immersive sims. It demonstrates how level design can be more important than quest markers.
