Is Prey: Typhon Hunter worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy multiplayer hide-and-seek and want to hunt or evade other players
- VR users who prefer solo objectives and puzzles set in the Prey universe
- Prey players interested in replaying a campaign with changing enemies, hazards, goals, and loot
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a conventional team-based multiplayer match may hit a wall in the one-versus-five survivor-and-hunters setup.
- Players looking for a non-VR version of the TranStar employee puzzle campaign will hit a wall at its VR-only requirement.
- Players without the full Prey game cannot play this update on its own.
Our take on Prey: Typhon Hunter
The clearest sticking point is the split between modes: the multiplayer match hinges on one survivor facing five shape-shifting hunters, while the employee campaign requires VR. Players seeking a single shared format may hit a wall when choosing between those setups.
What is Prey: Typhon Hunter?
Prey: Typhon Hunter adds an online hide-and-seek mode in which one player is Morgan Yu and five others are Mimics.
The Mimics can change shape and hide among objects while hunting Morgan, who must try to escape. It also includes TranStar VR, a single-player campaign that requires VR. Players take the roles of TranStar employees, completing objectives and solving puzzles on Talos I shortly before the events of Prey. The Mooncrash campaign is also described: Peter, a hacker aboard a spy satellite, investigates a TranStar moon base while trying to uncover its secrets. Enemies, hazards, objectives, and loot vary between plays. The full Prey game is required.
