Oh my god, why didn't anyone play this game?!? (audio, discussion, podcast)

you couldnt be more wrong holy shit. bioshock is literally one of the reasons prey exists. the shock series (system shock 1 and 2 followed by bioshock games) is one of the most famous immersive sim sub genre. If you have played prey and bioshock you can feel bioshocks storytelling pouring out of prey. you can literally explain both games as

"you are fighting for your life in a mysterious place apart from society and the place has met its demise by the advanced technology that has also made it the way it is; and you learn all of this from the things like voice messages the people left behind."

shock series is the action part of the immersive sim genre and it has definitely the most famous immersive sims. Dishonored is the spiritual succesor of thief which is the stealth sub genre of immersive sims. Prey is unique because arkane blended both genres together beautifully by putting the "play your way" style they perfected with dishonored into a shock game.
