Dead Space
Games Like Prey If You’re Looking for Something Similar
An engineer trapped aboard a space station filled with terrifying aliens sure sounds like the initial pitch for Prey. Instead, it’s another game entirely, the excellent Dead Space. Dead Space is different from Prey in that it is more of a survival horror game than an RPG but it definitely has a lot for those looking for a similar experience. The necromorphs which serve as the baddies in Dead Space are very similar to that of the mimics in Prey, in that they come in all shapes and sizes and are ready to murder you at every chance they get. The game’s setting of a derelict space station is one of the most imposing video game environments of all time, leveraging clever space mechanics to induce claustrophobia. The sequels are a safe bet, but for the best example of what makes the Dead Space series so special, look no further than the original.
