Prey 2017 is a really solid immersive sim. If you want that very specific System Shock/Bioshock/Dishonored/Thief-like itch scratched, you'll absolutely love this game. I played it twice through just because I was that into exploring every nook and cranny of Talos I.

The story is pretty good up to a point, but I don't want to spoil anything. I will say there's loads of really fascinating sci-fi ideas being played with which is what personally interested me most.

If you like immersive sims you'll enjoy this game, no question.

Secret Little Haven is a very, very special game. It touches upon a very specific moment in time that older millennials will find very familiar: A short-lived period where the internet was mostly message boards and instant messaging, and where so many of us found our first real communities and sense of self.

And for a lot of trans people like myself, it was our first glimpse at the idea that transition was possible. I got very close to figuring out I was trans in those days, but much like the protagonist in this story it took me a few more years (or ten) to finally piece it together. It was a joy to able to relive a small portion of those innocent days, and I got the very real sense that this is also a meta story about a trans woman reaching back in time to reassure herself at an age when every trans person most needs reassuring.

If you're trans, you owe it to yourself to experience this.
If you think you might be trans, you NEED to play this.
And if you consider yourself a trans ally, you absolutely should take a few hours out of your day to play this important piece of queer media.
