    The stupid decision to reuse the name confused the fuck out of people. I being one of them.

    Prey was a spiritual successor to System Shock 2. And it was so stupidly good and upset at myself for not playing it until years later.

      It really did fuck things up which is depressing. The game was a masterpiece of an immersive sim and the atmosphere of the whole game is like no other. With a different name, I think it could’ve sold better. Even I avoided it because I was mad about Prey 2 being canned and the reused name, until I saw Markiplier play it and fell in love almost immediately. Such a beautiful game that deserved better.
