Its gameplay is fun, especially if you enjoy games like System Shock 2.
But the writing... It's very modern-day cringey Arkane Studios writing (mostly the sidequests, but it leaks into the main campaign as well). It brings the game down so much for me that I almost wish the game had no story whatsoever.
I might have to get this Call of Duty. It's been so long since I've played one.
Don't jump the gun. I probably will, because I'm desperate for a new game, but I have a feeling we'll get burned.

Is prey good? I bounced off it pretty hard the first time.

Prey is fucking amazing and one of the best games I've ever played.
