Prototype

There is now a new mod that fixes ALL the issues from this bad PC port here :

BEFORE YOU BUY!
This game is great but the problem is that this game can only run with 4 CPU cores. Why? Because I heard that there's a bug in the code or something.
But don't worry there's a fix. Open Steam > Open Task Manager > Go to Details > Find steam.exe > Right Click on it > Click on affinity > Click off All CPU Cores > Only turn on CPU 0, 1, 2, 3 > Click accept

And there you go, you can play Prototype! When you're done playing just turn on all the CPU cores (don't worry it doesn't damage your PC if you do it a bunch of times). You can also install mods if you don't want to do all of that.

only playable with this mod

As someone who has had trouble just getting this game to run on pc I will say that if you own a steam deck the game will run perfectly fine as well as the second game. Played this game back on ps3, loved it so much. Sucks that the pc port sucks but at least they run great on the steam deck.

Not the greatest PC ports around, requiring a patch from the Nexus to get it working on modern systems, but a solid game nonetheless. It has a certain hopeless & bleak atmosphere that you don't see often in games and it really works in tandem with the story.
Gameplay wise it's really fun and empowering when you can turn into a human blender in a moment's notice, shredding through enemies with your sick ass powers.
Good game, Prototype 3 or a remake when???

One of my favorite childhood games that I still enjoyed the last time I played it back in 2022, I personally didn't mind having to tweak a few settings to get this playing but I understand not everyone shares this sentiment so I'll let you know right away
THIS GAME DOESN'T WORK WELL ON MODERN COMPUTERS UNLESS YOU FIX IT.
Now with that out of the way, the game has many challenges that reward you with points that you can spend on upgrades, the upgrades range from offensive to defensive powers / abilities. You can combine multiple techniques in a mission to accomplish the goal, and yes you heal yourself by ABSORBING your foes.
I've played a lot of video games in my 22 years of gaming but Prototype is a game that has never been replicated to this day. It was and still is unique and it is a really amazing and fun game.
Do I recommend this? To players who don't mind having to fix a few things to get it working, YES
To people who can't be bothered to do any such thing, NO you won't be happy with this purchase
My final verdict:
9.5/10
Timeless classic, I only deducted a few points because it is a game that came out in the late 2000s and most games of that era still run fine on modern computers the lack of attention by developers is the only reason I deducted the score otherwise the game itself is flawless

is one of the rare Gem games that you don't see any more from today's game industry unfortunately. The game let you play as Amnesiac protagonist Anti-Hero Alex Mercer who has unnatural God-Like shapeshifting abilities & hunting down specific targets responsible of the event while causing Choas in your way feeling like an unstoppable force in an Open World infected battle zoned New York City. While the game takes place in New York City, Parkouring at High Speed in this game, to this day is still unmatched & fun as ever, even the movements in Insomniac's Marvel Spider-Man Remastered 2020 just doesn't compare & I'm a fan of that game too. The game takes that M Rated Mature to a pretty Dark & Edgy tone, that's because that was a product of its time which was 2009, Alongside another similar great game which is inFAMOUS (Only on PlayStation)
Graphically, this the 7th Gen Version of the game for the PS3 & XBOX 360, not the Biohazard Bundle 8th Gen Version that's only available for the PS4 & XBOX ONE with some obvious improvements in textures & lighting. But if you look past the 7th Gen graphics, does it really matter? As long as the game is set to do, which is having an absolute fun time with your God-Like powers.
was made by Radical Entertainment, the same developers that also did the Hit 2005 game The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction & other Legendary Games like Scarface: The World is Yours & The Simpsons: Hit & Run. Much respect for them for simply wanting to make fun Open World games. Unfortunately, same could not be said by their parent company Activision-Blizzard who pretty much laid off Radical Entertainment's staff for "Not doing a good enough job" basically back in 2012.
Honestly since Microsoft now pretty much owns Activision-Blizzard which still holds the rights to the IP, it might as well be a good time & give the IP to a new passionate game developer to make a very good Quality Modern game, either it be a Sequel/Reboot/Remake which ever, that would be a dream come true especially on powerful current gen consoles to take advantage of. Not only that but for new generations of players to experience as a whole like I did, with the same love & care Motive did with the Dead Space Remake game or what Insomniac Games did for the Marvel Spider-Man games.
For me personally I give a solid 8 out of 10.
Just for creating so many pure fun memories. Played the Hell out of this game back in the day on 7th Gen & 8th Gen consoles, now on PC because I have a Steam Deck OLED.
