If you’re looking to enjoy more of what Prey already was, then I think there’s a lot to like with Mooncrash. The core systems and mechanics of Prey are still readily found in Mooncrash and as such make for a lot of fun, challenging objectives to overcome. For me, it was an experience that lost steam the longer I played, but I can’t deny how much I enjoyed its initial opening hour.

- 9.0Every moment in Prey: Mooncrash is intense and crafted so well, that it was impossible for me to not enjoy the entire experience. With so many layers of detail and how to go about accomplishing a single run, the way you finish a game may not be the same as several other players. If you enjoyed last year’s Prey, you will more than likely enjoy Mooncrash.
- 7.0Mooncrash feels like it was never intended for everyone to enjoy—instead it reaches out to a certain type of Prey player that will appreciate its systems in a purer form. For me, the slow progression holds it back a bit, but this is an innovative expansion that still captures much of what I enjoyed about the base game.
- Prey: Moonbase starts out mysterious and then turns into a task oriented roguelike, a hybrid of the gameplay found in Prey where there are some much different rules in play. When I initially saw the DLC with the rest of the world at Bethesda’s E3 Press Conference, I thought it sounded pretty gimmicky. After sinking many hours into this DLC since then, it’s actually a pretty amazing piece of content that is definitely worth coming back to Prey for.
- 8.2As a DLC, Mooncrash is definitely worth it for the price of admission, especially for those who enjoyed the original game. The roguelike elements, a variety of characters with unique playstyles, and quick run times make Mooncrash easily replayable and fun in short play sessions. While Prey was a solid title, Mooncrash is a quality portion of the game that is comparable to the main game.
- There's no doubt, Mooncrash is a must play for anyone who enjoyed Prey. But it's also a must play for any fan of roguelike games. The RPG aspects, the procedural content, the mystery of the story... it's all so on point that it's hard to knock for anything but the similar faults of the original game. Prey: Mooncrash is, simply put, the best stab at a roguelike a Triple-A studio has ever tried, and it's proof that there's room to expand on the format.
