What Are You Playing? May 4th, 2017

Before game releases cool off for a few months, Bethesda has something to share. Its reboot of the Prey franchise here, and it's inarguably the biggest game of week.

We'll have a review up for Prey within the next few days that'll summarize our thoughts on the game. For now, be sure to check out our 'Everything You Need To Know' feature to get up to speed on what this game, which many are calling BioShock in space, is all about.

Prey doesn't stand alone, though. This week we also reviewed GNOG and The Caligula Effect, two very different games that you might fancy.

The Switch screen is a bit small for using from a distance, but its portability partially makes up for that. If nothing else, being able to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just about anywhere with a friend is a neat gimmick.
