I get that. It can drag a bit towards the later half when you’re mostly backtracking through levels you’ve long since explored. That’s why I came up with creative solutions to that slump like finding every corpse or unlocking every neuromod through recycling and necromancy. Not only are there multiple ways to solve most problems, there are multiple ways to create your own fun.
Yeah, Immersive sims can be quite cool. Though that might also be part of why I struggle with these games. I am very bad at making my own fun, I prefer having goals to work towards. Otherwise I become quite aimless x.x
Making your own fun is all about having goals! The only difference is that you set the goals themselves and there is no external penalty for not meeting them. Like, trying to play a game without the best weapons, or trying to come up with some checklist of tasks to accomplish. Even doing the steam achievements for Prey was quite rewarding, especially the “no needles” one.
Oh yeah, I know what you mean. I am just bad at making my own goals. Or keeping up with them xD a big reason why I don’t play Vanilla Minecraft alone anymore. Though true, achievement hunting is nice, i did a few 100% games already. Some I want to be 100% but are really annoying on the last few achievements (shadow of mordor, I loath the last two challenges)
The annoying part for Prey is I only need a single achievement from the base game, but cannot 100% it until I get the DLC. I’ve heard good things about the DLC, but tragically I’m an absolute cheapscape
Ooh, I looove Prey. I never finished it, though. Somehow I always start a playthrough, play for a week or two straight and then forget about it :(
It’s not an issue unique to it, though. I think it’s just one of the games that I get lonely in and then stop playing for a while x.x

That’s the worst… I like Sony’s approach to achievements in this case. There DLCs usually get their own separate track so it doesn’t interfere
