System Shock 2
Games Like Prey If You’re Looking for Something Similar
More than any other entry on this list, System Shock 2 deserves the most praise for influencing Prey. The game features the same first-person combat style and use of the environment to impose tension on the player. It also does an amazing job at combining RPG elements with those of a traditional first-person shooter, something which those who have played Prey will definitely appreciate. It’s classic sci-fi gold, telling a claustrophobic and paranoid tale which goes hand in hand with that of Prey.
Though it may be a little dated at this point, it’s definitely worth checking System Shock 2 out for the pure fact that it went on to inspire so many great games like Prey and BioShock. There’s a remake in the works too, so if you can hold out then it’s definitely worth the wait.
