To me, almost every 'open-world' game I see anymore feels like it would be better as an immersive-sim type game. The genre provides a more focused and memorable experience than open world games; less needless busy work smeared over a digitized city/countryside to pad out the runtime and more depth in how one evolves to interact with the environment.

Bioshock is a pretty linear game with a 5 year olds concept of a moral choice (kill children...or not to kill children). The game doesnt have any unique puzzles or traversal that can be solved in a variety of ways. It only holds the qualities of an immersive sim with it's combat, which does have a nice variety to it, as well as its narrative structure (which does not define the genre) with audio logs and flavor text ect. Dont get me wrong, I think it's a very good game that has managed to age quite well. But to compare it to System Shock 2, Prey, Dishonored 1/2, Deus Ex, it doesn't hold the same quality.

Someone pls explain this to me, why people even compare Prey and AH ? 1st one immersive sim that you can play with different ways in a in one big complex, where all the parts are very cleverly connected to each other, these are dark souls 1 style game design if you want, 2nd one just a shooter with melee combat and kind of open world that only exist to connect standing apart polygons, there is no different ways to complete them, you have 1 corridor straight to the point and then you going to next one. What these games have in common is that they are both in first person. Atomic Heart is much closer to Bioshock and it's not a secret, the developers directly talk about it, what exactly they were inspired by. But apparently someone on the top Internet compared it to Prey because of their incompetence, and now every dog from the street does the same, and tries to prove that Prey is better. Very cool, then prove that South park the stick of the truth is cooler than Persona 5, because they both have turn-based combat, which means the same games, right?

Because Prey is a successor to Bioshock just as Bioshock is a successor to System Shock. You can even do the same with Prey and Bioshock because guess what, they are very similar. And Bioshock isn't a corridor, that is a misconception people have made because they think Infinite is the best in the series (it's actually the worst). You have multiple paths to objectives in both 1 and 2, a semi-free roaming available especially in the first game and an outright do whatever you want in one level. Anyone who thinks Bioshock is linear is severely underappreciating the fact these levels are made with the same idea in mind as System Shock just as Prey took similar ideas. Another thing they have in common is, both are better than AH.

The enemies require specific tactics to defeat efficiently. For instance; the Mimics are easily defeated if you Gloogun them and hit them with the wrench, and, the drones you hit with the stun gun and this makes them fall to the ground and defenceless. The Phantoms are weak to being gloo'd and hit with a shotgun. The Nullwave transmitter or Psychoshock ability will heavily weaken any Typhons. If you use the scanning ability it will inform you of their weaknesses. You can also increase your damage output through neuromod upgrades and weapon upgrades. If you're trying to take down a Nightmare with a pistol though, it's going to take a lot of rounds.

Prey doesn't have Trava U Doma in its soundtrack nor does it have my favourite ability from Bioshock Infinite, Mass Telekinesis or...what was that Vigor called....the horse one uuuuuh fk i can't remember the name of my fav Vigor anyway you know the one. Thinking about it i don't remember the name of any Vigor besides Shock ofc aaaaand Return To Sender...1999 flashbacks. Perhaps i wouldn't abuse Return To Sender if we had some sort of Bloodbornian dodge ability...not only do i get that but also russian dancing killer AI. The devs ticked all the right boxes fr, first attempt too, nice

Good video, fun analysis, good to see and think about, I always enjoy these discussion pieces. Prey is really interesting to me because I know how good it is, but I still can't get into it. Part of it is that Arkane studios has a really weird PC game control interface that feels like the camera has acceleration, or maybe momentum even when it shouldn't, which their Dishonored series also suffers from. Their uncomfortable implementation of screen shake doesn't help matters. Part of it is that when the world is too open, it becomes an anti-pattern where I feel like I need to be exploring every nook and cranny for secrets and resources; but there are so many nooks that I end up ruining my own experience playing ultra-slow-and-safe-loot-everything-read-everything-quicksave-at-every-door Prey; rather than fun-run-around-using-interesting-powers-to-mess-with-the-game Prey. The permanently depleted resources in your backpack and in the world make this worse; there is a genuine fear that you can burn through all the resources and literally have nothing left. I respect the hell out of it, but Dishonored's more tightly-implemented small dense level system was a lot more enjoyable just by limiting the scale of each zone to be a more efficient package of interesting environments and situations, while still having elements of immersive sim such as somewhat intricate mechanics and systems to interact with the world. But Dishonored does so without going down the route of being able to disassemble and loot everything, break all world geometry, scan every enemy type multiple times, or read hundreds of emails; all features that unequivocally do more harm to the pacing than good in my opinion. Yet, fans of the immersive sim will LOVE Prey for those same exact reasons. I cannot disagree with them objectively, only subjectively. TL;DR Prey is an "underappreciated masterpiece" of design, and Atomic Heart made enough mistakes to be an easy game to criticize. But everyone seems to be having a lot of fun playing through Atomic Heart *to* criticize it... so it must be doing *something* right.

I've had a bias against Prey for years because I wanted Prey 2, that open world, Sci-Fi, futuristic, first person, bounty hunter style game that actually looked next gen, not the survival horror-type game we got, but I finally set my bias aside to try the demo and give it a fair shake, which I believe I did everything there was to do like I found the pistol and the shotgun, but I still just am not digging it. I mean I'm intrigued by the story, but the gameplay I personally have not found to be very enjoyable. I'll try out the game for real eventually, but I sincerely doubt my opinion will change based off the 2-4 hours I already put into the demo. That said, a lot of the stuff you showed off did look really cool and I am at least intrigued by the gameplay, so there's that. For anyone whose played Prey's demo though, is it a good basis to judge buying the game, because it did not sell me at all and it being called Prey is already a detriment because of how much it pisses me off.

That's the saddest thing about it. There's people that won't try it just because of what happened with the original prey sequel. And I get it. If a game I loved had a canned sequel and another game came out with its name, I'd be pissed too. I just hope people can set it aside and see the game for what it is. They didn't wanna call it Prey, they were forced to.

@@underthemayo First off, thanks for the response, I'm shocked I even got one tbh, second off it's funny because both Prey & DmC: Devil May Cry suffer from the same problem, which is being associated with a title they don't have anything in common with. Well it's more true with Prey than DmC, it's just that DmC changes up a lot of the story and the characters and does stuff that fans really didn't like. I personally love the game and I can't hate it because I dig the combat and I enjoy the platforming, but I completely understand why most fans dislike it. I just treat it like a spin off or a DmC in a different universe and that allows me to enjoy it, plus we still ended up getting DMCV, which every fan unanimously loves, so there's no harm in enjoying both games. I also have unfortunately not yet played the original Prey though I really want to, and Prey 2 was kind of going to be the gateway to get me into the franchise, the same way DOOM 2016 got me into DOOM, and then it went into limbo. When I heard they showed off Prey at E3 I got really excited only be extremely disappointed when I realized it was something I didn't want. I don't blame Arcane in any way though, like I've read the articles and understand they didn't want to call it Prey that it was just Bethesda forcing them to in order to case in on the IP, which ultimately hurt its sales more than it helped, but I'm not big into survival horror type games to begin with and so Prey for me just has extremely little appeal. The fact that I did my best to set bias aside to give it a fair play and the demo didn't sell me at all, doesn't help matters. If anything is going to change my mind though, it would be videos like this showing off cool stuff you can do that I might never have thought of and making the gameplay look fun because what I experienced really bored me the majority of the time.

When a System Shock 2 clone is better than your most recent game. You KNOW you screwed up. Examined Life of Gaming's GotY 2017 video explained why Prey 2017 isn't that great either. Prey looks kind of boring and devoid of originality compared to SS2. The turrets you set up can easily get knocked over by low-tier enemies' ranged attacks, even if the turrets are upgraded. The game's black goo enemies are extremely boring compared to The Many and there's not that much body horror, the gameplay is basically a 'Rated M' Blues Clues where you have to find aliens disguised as office appliances. Not a fan of the Supressed Pistol and Glue Gun overuse.

Counterpoint, you can infinitely double jump at 240+ FPS in Atomic Heart and apparently go straight to the end credits from the intro. ...I didn't actually watch the video yet I just like pointing this out cause even with my appreciation for speedrunning this is stupid.

I feel like Atomic Heart sometimes leans more towards Bioshock than Prey but, that may be because I have played Bioshock a whole lot more than Prey. Same opinions different game and comparison, resource management over skill cooldowns, grounded and weighty combat over clunky spectacle. But I think where Bioshock excels better is in combat encounters Bioshock especially its sequel is fine tuned to each fight you might encounter in the game, and you must use your resources wisely and specialize on a weapon to make the best bangs out of your bucks and ADAM. Especially when the enemy variety kicks in high gear and resources gets scarcer as the game progresses. Also in Bioshock you can play the game with a Wrench and earn the most overpowered build available with patience and diligence.

I definitely few Atomic Heart's weakest asset is its combat. It's just not balanced; the special abilities make it too easy, too much of the "magic" resources to shock or freeze enemies. Limited resources and more focus on the melee with ranged weapons having a scarcity in ammo would have gone a long way. In fact, I feel Atomic Heart could have been vastly improved had the game been more focused on encouraging players to "Pick their fights". With an open world, I feel like planning and strategy should have played a larger role with the roaming enemies. Like in Fallout when you scout ahead and see a Deathclaw infested area, it'd be neat to be able to look at a place and say "This fight won't be worth my resources or health".
