Checking the Score: Prey

In terms of gameplay, it might fall somewhat flat, but sonically Prey translates this paradox of decisive indecisiveness into an interesting voyage of some hopeful attempt to salvage order out of all this chaos. A stark contrast tonally to Mick Gordon’s work a year previous, while it may not have the color or the vibrancy or even the grand scale of the more recent video game soundtracks, its mix of guitars, patched synthesizers and electronic percussion means it’s just as potent and thus engaging to pick apart.
