Dead Space is one of the most terrifying and frightening sci-fi horror games ever made, and it is regarded as a classic in the genre. The game is based on John Carpenter's The Thing and has gore, body horror, scary surroundings, plot twists, and sci-fi aspects for horror enthusiasts.
However, because they are more immersive, today's horror games are often scarier than their film equivalents. Players must experience the dread alongside the character they are playing, rather than just seeing it happen to others onscreen. Both the gamer and the character are subjected to the same jump scares, atmosphere, and gore.

Prey is regarded by many players as a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, which states much about the game's brilliance. The desolate hallways of the Talos I starship will bring back memories for Dead Space enthusiasts of their time as Isaac Clarke roaming the halls of USG Ishimura.
Prey is a first-person shooter set in an open universe with role-playing and stealth features. The player assumes the position of Morgan Yu, a human on a space station inhabited by a variety of hostile extraterrestrial species known as the Typhon.
The player can choose key characteristics of Morgan (such as her gender), as well as make decisions that affect the game's plot. To fend off and kill Typhon, players must acquire and employ weaponry and resources aboard the station.
