They might come off as similar, but their motives are completely different, as are their personalities. Alex Yu, the brother of Prey’s main character, has several similar characteristics to Atlas from BioShock. Instructions for our initial objectives are given to us by a seemingly unknown figure through audio calls. No, I’m not talking about Rapture, but Talos 1. For example, we are trapped in an outlandish world, very different from anything we are used to. It’s simply inspiration though, Arkane doesn’t straight up copy things over from BioShock. Prey’s narrative techniques as well as its setting are similar to BioShock’s.
And I can not blame it for that, BioShock is an absolute masterpiece. From the very beginning, it’s obvious that Prey has been heavily inspired by BioShock. Prey borrows many things from other successful titles for the basic formula of its story, while at the same time it manages to be itself a source of inspiration for other games that succeeded it. With Bethesda’s games now available on Game Pass, this is the perfect opportunity to start your exploration aboard Talos 1. A special case of a game that went almost unnoticed if we consider how many things it does right.
The sci-fi horror genre has been in recession for years, not gonna lie. One of those that come out once in a while and because of their genre they fly under our radar.
