Like many of the Internet, our tech reviewer Matt Purslow was usually more than happy with Prey’s performance. It’s comprehensible that Dishonored 2’s points would not recur provided that Prey is made by a distinct staff in a distinct engine, however we are able to additionally think about that publishers Bethesda might need cracked the whip after Arkane’s final title – which was in any other case glorious – was so overshadowed by stories of shoddy optimisation.
