It’s an immersive sim by Arkane, the imsim developer, in the vein of System Shock and Deus Ex. I prefer it over Dishonored for its more genre typical sci-fi setting (one of the best space stations I’ve explored in gaming) and deeper systems. Think Bioshock meets Alien.
I haven’t played it on the Steam Deck, so I can speak to its performance, but I really enjoyed this game. It’s a whole lot of fun of you like mysterious, creepy games with some jump scares. I’d say its closest comparable is BioShock 1 & 2.
Infinite is a very different type of game than 1 & 2. I absolutely loved all 3 (1 and 3 more than 2 tbh). But if you really liked 1&2, you may not like infinite, and vice versa. 1&2 are dark and suspenseful. Infinite is well-lit and they stopped doing most of the jump scares. But the gameplay felt amazing and the story was a 10/10.
I’ve heard Prey is good so I’m hoping that goes on sale.
@JCreazy@midwest.social @chri1stian@lemmy.ml Prey is free on GOG via Prime, if you want to give it a shot on Windows or get GOG running on Deck.
Excellent, thanks for the tip, I’ll see if I can get it on GOG
It was being given away on Amazon Prime Gaming recently, not sure if it still is. Redeemed as a GOG code.
I haven’t heard much about that one. What excited you about it?
It’s sci Fi and it looks cool I guess.

Prey is amazing! One of my favorite games.

Oddly enough, I’ve only played Bioshock Infinite.
