This is the most rewarding revisit to a game I have experienced yet. I played this when it released and enjoyed it but found it to be largely underwhelming. Now that I have more of a working brain and could be mistaken as an adult, I think that Prey (2017) is nearly a masterpiece.

Every way you look at this sucker is remarkable. A sci fi world so well realized and richly detailed that every new discovery left me wondering: "why aren't more people stealing this". The visual style of Talos 1 and it's contents look as though they were ripped straight from a concept art page. The choices you are presented with are often truly thought provoking. The characters each have thoughtful stories presented in a way that does not bog down the games freeing amount of interactivity.

Talos 1 feels both like a lived in space and a perfectly detailed diorama. Once Prey sunk its teeth in me I could not stop myself from picking this thing clean and experimenting with its systems. I love freaky space guys
