Epic has put on its Santa hat and given us another game. Today it is:

Prey
https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/p/prey

Sadly, not the 2006 game, but Arkane Studio's 2017 game of the same
title (it's not that I liked the 2006 game all that much, but it's not
available digitally anywhere and I'd have liked to see its return ;-).

The 2017 game is highly praised as an open-world sandbox (well, as
'open-world' as you can get in an enclosed space-station), similar in
style to Arkane's earlier titles in the "Dishonored" franchise. And I
agree; it is a well made game. It's just not one that I enjoyed very
much. Then again, I didn't care too much for "Dishonored" either.
There's something about Arkane's art style and gameplay that, well...
it isn't rubbing me the wrong way, but it doesn't engage me. I don't
get immersed into their game worlds the same way I do with other
games. It's as if there is this veneer of implausibility, of
too-obvious mechanics that keeps me from believing I'm in the place
the game says I am.

But a lot of people like it, and I don't begrudge them that. The game
is very well crafted; artistically and mechanically sound. My
disagreement with the game is a matter of preference, not a judgment
of quality. If you enjoyed "Bioshock" or "Dishonored" you will
probably love "Prey (2017)".

Free on Epic for 24 hours. Get it before it is gone!

I did buy it in a sale some time back, £5 I think, but it was one of the
games that just didn't grab me and I can't put my finger on why.

Dishonoured, I rather like that. Not enough to finish it but certain;y
enough to say I got my money's worth. The problem I found with it was
after a while it just felt like you where doing the same thing again but
in a different location and the novelty of the gameplay had worn off.
