Wow, this review was way off the mark. As others have mentioned it almost seems a little suspect... especially compared to other reviews around the Internet. What, is the reviewer taking revenge on Bethesda not floating him some "perks". Hopefully not, but either way the review is waaaay off and the critiques provided as evidence are pulled out of thin air for the most part. Thank God for games like Prey or we would get another FPS multiplayer snooze fest with no campaign or a joke campaign. Or the 60th iteration of call of duty.
As a single player experience this game really took me somewhere new. I loved the MetroidVania elements and how it built on some of the best parts of BioShock. I want to see more Single player exploration games like this. The quality was nothing less than I'd
expect from Bethesda, and I loved every minute of it. This is one of those games that may not be doing anything especially new but it does what it does incredibly well. I get so sick of how games dispense with a good solid bedrock of fun mechanics and gameplay, and instead feed us a bunch of gimmicks that get old after a few hours. If you are the type of person who games alone and are looking for a great summer game, this is the one!
