Cyberpunk 2077 vs Prototype
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most revolutionary open-world adventures today and that's not all too surprising since it is created by the makers of the renowned The Witcher game series.In this game, you play as a V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary roaming the streets of Night City, a bustling metropolis riddled with crime, and its inhabitants, obsessed with power. Your actions and decisions will shape the story and the world around you, as well as the fate of the NPCs and other noteworthy characters you’ll encounter, like Judy Alvarez and Johnny Silverhand, who is played by Keanu Reeves. Exploring the neon-illuminated streets of Night City will lead you to interact with various factions, from corporate giants to gangs vying for power in the underground, that will give you quests and countless activities to do.
As V, you’ll have access to a massive collection of weapons and cybernetic enhancements designed to aid you in combat and in your quest to look for the implant that is key to immortality. The game has a massive collection of customization options, letting you change how V looks on a whim. Moreover, your implants and skills will decide your builds and overall playstyle. Whether you want to be a silent pistol assassin or be an all-out brawler, the choice is yours.
Prototype
Prototype is a epic parkour-based, science-fiction-themed RPG that casts you in the role of the Prototype himself, Alex Mercer. Genetically and technologically enhanced, Alex has a unique shape-shifting arm that allows him to reconfigure his body at will into a wide variety of "weapons" (such as Wolverine-like Claws, Blades, Hammers, Shields and Whips) so he'd be able to better handle the situation at hand. The action combat in this game is rather fast-paced as well, forcing you to be quick in both your reflexes and your thinking as you quickly change Alex's arm into the weapon you need.He also possesses advanced sensory powers, giving him special vision to better track his enemies, and best of all, he can consume - in a body-snatcher-like fashion - anyone and take their appearances, memories and special abilities. This is a feature that stealthy players would love. Being a parkour-based game, you'll also get to enjoy performing incredible stunts that are smoothly animated, where you can leap from roof to roof like a certain brotherhood of assassins or scale up the side of a building like a certain spider-bitten man.
Although it does have a main storyline, Prototype is an RPG that has plenty of repeatable side missions and timed challenges that you can complete to earn enough points to upgrade your character's skills and abilities. So, its replayability factor is quite off the charts. So, if you enjoy parkour RPGs like Dying Light but dislike the overrated zombie theme, or you love Infamous but you unfortunately don't own a Playstation, you might enjoy Prototype instead.
