This is the type of game that cynical people on twitter, reddit, youtube comments and the like are always asking for. Emphasis on gameplay over cinematics, strong environmental storytelling, dense atmosphere, highly systemic with many emergent possibilities, complex and varied level design, unique storytelling and aesthetics.

And here comes Prey, a very rare example of a western triple A game that checks all of the above and yet, nobody bought it lol.
