Assassin's Creed: Syndicate vs Prototype
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate gives you two main characters to play through, twins called Jacob and Evie Fry who are raised to the Creed but see it almost eradicated at the end of the Victorian Era. They journey to London where they infiltrate the criminal underworld and start to fight against the Templars.With it’s first major female lead character this game finally bridges the gap, and it gives you 2 unique playstyles to enjoy as each character has its own way of taking out their enemies. Set at the end of the industrial revolution you are in a vastly different and evolving London and it is a lot of fun to roam around. Though this version has no multiplayer it is still a great story to involve yourself in and play. With a lot of fun side missions alongside the main story you get a lot to do in this game and of course, there is the continuing saga in the modern real world for you to grab hold of too.
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.
