So Which Should You Buy?
At the end of the day, the choice of which to buy is really left up to player preference. Both games are essentially sci-fi titles, yes, but the similarities end there. If you want a space drama set in the far reaches of the universe, Prey is the one to go for. If you want a game set in a not-so-distant dystopian future, filled with hostile machines in a Terminator sort of way, The Surge has you covered.
It’s also important to know what kind of gameplay you want as well. Prey lets you play the game as a first-person shooter, or a first-person stealth/tactical title. The Surge is an unforgiving action RPG that forces you to learn enemy patterns and move sets in order to improve your chances of survival.
Both games are available on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, so there shouldn’t be much of an issue if you only own one platform with no access to the rest. Prey is already available in stores, while The Surge is set to be released on May 16.
