Is this game worth it?

Shit is on sale for $10 but I hear mixed reviews. Does it at least have 10 hours of content? what would you rate it out of 10 and why?

It's amazing and underrated. My first playthrough took me 30 hours.

7/10. The early game is fun, exploring is rewarding, the concept is interesting, the gameplay is at its best since it's harder although still kind of meh. The late game is boring, the combat is fast, the story gets muddled and then the ass pull twist just goes "lmao jk fag" and expects you to be okay with that. Overall it's worth $10 and has some good moments.

Just buy it. What is $10 anyways? You're not poor, are you?

People on here will trash me but I started playing this game, and where I am enemies are like bulletsponges and requires at least 3 magazine to finally die so I'm stuck
inb4 git gud

It's very open-ended in what areas you can explore, if you're creative with the glue gun, and the overall aesthetic and sense of scale is impressive. But I feel the whole material crafting thing becomes an unpleasant grind pretty fast, and the enemy variety is sorely lacking. Also doesn't help that the most prevalent enemies are more annoying as fuck than scary, always getting jumped by coffee mugs and lamps.
I didn't really care for it that much but I can see why others enjoy it.

Stun them with the taser and then unload on them with the shotgun, it crits and they are stunlocked, no fight should give you a problem. That's without relying on the OP abilities so you should be able to do it.

git gud, you should be slaughtering enemies in seconds by the midpoint.

The nightmares are so fucking annoying to fight. I never went too far into the neuromod stuff i kept it right below the line that turrets attack you

>random jump scare
never beat this game because of it

Prey is fucking incredible. If you like System Shock or Bioshock then it'll be right up your alley.

They're usually somewhat telegraphed, if you go in slow you can hear them making noise, and if you look in the general area you will often notice there are too many of a certain object to be reasonable, like too many chairs for a desk or whatever. You can get the drop on them ez pz.

You're probably using the wrong weapons. Each one has a weakness.

It only happens once, ya pansy.

Touch To Calibrate

did not know that. ill probably get back to it then

$10 is nothing. I just hate having shit in my library that I'll never play so I'm asking

based on the responses it seems like it takes some getting used to

its the last immersive sim we are going to get so enjoy it

I find pistol headshots take them down outrageously quickly. Especially if you do a sneak attack. Also upgrade your throwing.

is the story even good? I hear the gunplay is pretty boring

The story has potential to be interesting but the end pulls the "it was all a dream" reveal which undercuts it all, and the writers pat themselves on the back making it even more clear that it's just a glorified trolly puzzle as if that wasn't obvious without the shit ending. It was a lazy asspull more intended to sell you on a sequel that is never going to come than it was to actually be a compelling ending.

Pretty great game, one of the few modern western games I thoroughly enjoyed. The sheer amount of approaches for solving any situation is extensive. Great environmental storytelling, great atmosphere. The powers are fun. For 10 dollars you really can't go wrong anyway.

Don't listen to this retard. The ending makes perfect sense if you have a few braincells to rub together.

I literally yesterday finished my second playthrough doing a human upgrades only run.

Good game, the *gameplay* is fantastic, the story is fantastic at the beginning and decent at certain points midway through but slows significantly - basically if you allow yourself to get immersed in the world, and appreciate the little details/story, then you'll enjoy it.

It making sense doesn't make it not a lazy narrative device and undercuts everything you experienced since it was all a simulation and nothing you did mattered. If you don't think that's weak story telling and that the intended effect couldn't have been achieved without using such a cliche twist then you're kidding yourself or you're a moron.

If you like exploring and tooling around with the mechanics it's really great. It won't just sit in your library, you'll get $10 out of it for sure.

Every single action you made mattered. Like I said, if you weren't mentally deficient you'd understand the game's point of Alex trying to implant empathy into the Typhon.

>nothing you did mattered
based retard

Yes, it's the best game of the decade.

Yes I know which is why I said it was a glorified trolly puzzle trying to test moral relativism in the alien. Literally the puzzle you do at the start of the game is what the entire game is and then they hammer it home with "oh you killed me so sad :(" so idiots could figure it out.

Hopefully you find that random chipset that points out Mimics for you. Greater Mimics however, still cannot be revealed.

Are you playing no alien powers? Alien powers make combat an afterthought actually. If no alien powers, there are two main ways to approach combat, if you're able to get reasonably close, one is to stun gun into shotgun. If you're far away, the other is to gloo gun into pistol for phantoms. You always want to disable them in some way as that adds a damage bonus and stops the fuckers from teleporting around. Other tips are get the time dilation power, turrets are your friend if no alien mods, use pistol to whittle down the health of those big black floating things before using time dilation + q beam to finish them off.

The first Mimic detection chip is always found alongside the Psychoscope; it's the only chipset that isn't random.

thanks for the tips, i'll try to replay it
Exactly, I saw that alien powers made you an enemy for turrets so I tried to do only humans power for my first game. Thanks for the tips, I'll try it in game then

Yes. If you enjoy Deus Ex style play your way Immersive sims you will like it. The story is fairly predictable but still interesting
