Dumb fun - but a product of its time. The story is fine, but I felt like it went on for too long and didn't have much to say after the halfway mark.

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???

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.

There is now a new mod that fixes ALL the issues from this bad PC port here : https://www.nexusmods.com/prototype/mods/52?tab=description

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.
