* SpiritualSuccessor: Can be considered one to the ''VideoGame/{{Turok}}'' series, with a Native American protagonist, and portals and inter-dimensional travel being part of the plot. All that's missing are dinosaurs.

Added DiffLines:

* FridgeBrilliance: The keypads on the alien ship only have eight number buttons instead of ten. Why? The aliens have four fingers in each hand, which would logically factor into them developing a base-8 numeric system.


* AcceptableTargets: Before the beginning of the game proper, the pair of drunken rednecks Tommy bludgeons (possibly to death) with his [[WrenchWhack Stillson Wrench]] in a bar fight. The two "victims" had been sexually harassing his girlfriend Jen and spouting off racist lines casually.

* HilariousInHindsight: The 2022 ''Film/{{Predator}}'' prequel is also titled ''Film/{{Prey}}'', and coincidentally features Native American protagonists going up against hostile aliens.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: A common criticism of the game. The average player will finish it in about five or eight hours. Although it's the very least killer no filler.

* DarthWiki/NightmareFuel: The game ''does not'' pull it's punches and is somehow more darker and harrowing than ''VideoGame/Doom3''. Forcing both Tommy and the Player to see some very heavy stuff, so much so that it has it's [[NightmareFuel/Prey2006 own page]].

Misuse. This trope isn't just "weird thing happens", it's when the weird thing that happens is completely disconnected from the plot. The game is completely built around the afterlife mechanic, so it's not an example.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: After [[spoiler:earning a spiritual power up in the afterlife,]] Tommy is suddenly and inexplicably attacked by aliens. How does he fight back? [[spoiler:With guns. Alien guns. The alien guns he uses in the real world, despite entering a spiritual dimension. Whaaaaat??]] Oh, and there's the whole "aliens invading ''[[spoiler:The Afterlife! Physically!!]]''" thing. The Land of the Ancients is treated as a physical, [[AnotherDimension alternate dimension]], where one can go through dying (as a Cherokee, perhaps) or by using a special kind of [[OurWormholesAreDifferent portal generator]].

* ScrappyMechanic: Spirit Walking, wherein upon death you had to kill weak mooks in order to get back in the action. [[ItsEasySoItSucks Chastised]] in this game because it effectively meant you were never punished for dying, although it has shown up in other games (such as VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}) with alterations or improvements.

* AwesomeMusic: Just before you get abducted, the jukebox in the bar starts playing "[[Music/BlueOysterCult Don't Fear The Reaper]]". Not to mention that when you get to fighting a horde of aliens in the bar at the end of the game, "[[Music/JudasPriest You Got Another Thing Comin']]" starts blaring on the jukebox. "Take Me Home" by After Midnight Project plays over the closing credits, ending the game on a fitting note.

* NightmareFuel: Where to start? The [[ImAHumanitarian Juicer]] machine? The cybernetically-altered human slaves with wires for eyes and exposed guts? The omnipresent protein pipes that you ''know'' are filled with ground human meat? The possessed ghosts of ''children'' doing acts of evil everywhere, including at least one little girl that kills her father ''on Earth''? How about the ever-present screams of agony of said children and of other people? Or the ultimate fate of [[spoiler:Tommy's girlfriend,Jen]]? Or how about that ''fucking nursery rhyme''??
