It’s a bit of an apples and oranges situation but considering the history I’m curious which one people prefer in a situation where you could only have one. I believe 2006 is still considered abandonware with it previously being listed on Steam but being removed when they ran out of keys.
I liked 2017’s gameplay but I felt like 2006 was more memorable and unique so I think I’d choose it.
2006 all the way. I’ll never understand why they opted to cancel the sequel (which was looking amazing, btw) and use the same name for a completely new IP.
2006 was a neat game with some particularly cool bits, but 2017 is one of my favorite games of all time and pound for pound is a superior game due to 2017 being a spiritual successor to System Shock 2.
Very different games though, I don’t honestly think they should be compared directly, it was already a weird choice for Prey 2017 to receive the franchise name.
I’ll second this entirely.
Prey 2006 is a slightly gory boomer shooter with interesting topsy-turvy levels, gravity tricks, a few cool enemies and guns and powers, and a campy alien abduction / invasion story. It might be a little underrated in its genre. Definitely fun.
But Prey 2017 was more of a clever stealth action / psych horror title in the vein of Deus Ex and of course System Shock. Brilliant interconnected level design, a deep story, a good (though not super original) roster of guns and superpowers, some tricky puzzles, and a few interesting and enemies. It gets a good amount of love but I still think it deserves wider recognition as an excellent game.
It’s frankly stupid that they have the same name.
Por que no los dos?
Damn, how is the Prey 2017 version one of my all time favorites but I didn’t know there was a 2006 Prey game.
Haven’t played the other so 2017 definitely.
