Hitman: Absolution vs Prototype
Hitman: Absolution
Hitman: Absolution is the fifth in the series and takes on an interesting twist in the story. With a more accessible gameplay while retaining the core essence of the franchise that you love there is an interesting experience waiting for you.The ICA is demolished from within and it falls to you as Agent 47 to find the culprit, and retrieve an asset important to the organisation. Thus begins another adventure and this time you are hunting one of your own. With all the twists and turns you could want alongside the stealth gameplay that made the series a household name you have a brilliant experience waiting for you. A new feature added here is the option to make your own contract, a facility that enables you to create your own missions for others to play and post them online or send to your friends. All in all another brilliant addition to the series.
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.
