Outlast vs Prototype
Outlast
Outlast is an intensely-terrifying, first-person survival horror game where you play the inquisitive investigative journalist Miles Upshur who taking a look at the shady Mount Massive Asylum that was recently reopened by the equally shifty Murkoff Corporation. The asylum has been operating in secrecy and you are there to find out why! Of course, when the truth is revealed to you... you might think twice about your eagerness to uncover it in the first place.Being a story-driven game, you can expect excellent narrative, apt sound effects and immersive graphics to help you push the story along. Unlike some horror games, you can't fight in this game - you are merely a journalist, after all. Thus, its gameplay is rather stealth-based with some elements of parkour. So, you'll need to rely on your awareness and instinct to decide when you'll need to hide and when to simply run for your life. Naturally, you wouldn't want to be caught by any of the asylum's terrifying, criminally-insane patients.
If you're looking for a game to scare the hell out of you before even Halloween comes around, Outlast is the perfect game to do that. Be sure to be prepared for a truly terrifying scare and keep the young uns far away.
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.
