If you’re looking for a shooter that offers not only a great atmosphere but also a top setting and memorable enemies, you should strike here
There was a time before Redfall In 2016, Arkane Austin celebrated success with a title that you can currently pick up for a record-breaking price (three euros on Steam) Prey The Sc-Fi shooter with a 90 percent approval rating from almost 30,000 Steam reviews is definitely worth a look for fans of immersive gaming experiences.

If you have an extra five euros to spare and fancy a variation on the Prey gameplay to create a roguelike title, then Prey: Mooncrash is a good choice. The successful DLC experiment can be seen as a quasi-prequel to Deathloop . (The addon has only 74 percent positive reviews), but far fewer players have even looked at it.
Bethesda had almost completely dispensed with marketing at the time, which is one of the reasons why the DLC has a rather niche existence.
