"Criticial Values: In Defense of Prey and Those Who Made It" is a review and critique of a paradigm shift needed in order to get rid of some of the most hurtful things in how we talk about video games. It is done through a thorough review, critique, and defense of the 2017 game Prey by Arkane Studios. As an evolution of the immersive sim genre over the past few years, Prey manages to weave together the ludonarrative in a way that's been apparently difficult for the genre before. An assumption that games should be ludologically gratifying, however, has turned the critical reception of the game into less than it has any right to be.
