System Shock fans rejoice! In our first real look at Arkane Studio's Prey we get to see the same level of freedom from the studio's excellent Dishonored series, but with that added sci-fi exploration and horror vibe that goes all the way back to the classic System Shock. We're talking skill trees, alien abilities, and some truly impressive mechanics. You'll definitely want to check this out.



There's definitely something alluring about exploring a desolate space station, and for that reason alone Prey should be on your radar. Add in a crafting system that sees you 'recycle' objects using some sort of mini-gravitational grenade and then picking up the raw material, and alien abilities that let you mimic objects like the T1000 -- and now we're talking. This in turn makes the combat look and feel completely free.

And terrifying too. 2017 can't come soon enough.
