9. Prey (Reboot)

Bethesda opting to resurrect the Prey franchise is one of the more risqué business decisions the publisher has made in a long while.

Unlike the Elder Scrolls, Fallout or even the Dishonored games, I find it hard to believe that the original Prey has much of a fanbase left clamouring for a sequel. That's not me indirectly suggesting that it was bad - far from it - but 2006 was a long time ago. Hell, I can barely remember the story of the original, and I finished it multiple times.

It's probably for that very reason then that, besides the name, this re-imagining shares little similarity with Prey other than the name.

It's still early days yet, but from all of the pre-release footage that's been shown, the 2017 reboot exudes the same sort of atmosphere as Creative Assembly's Alien: Isolation.

If it's even half as good as that, Bethesda could be onto a winner.
