  • Size Does Matter: Utilizing the unparalleled technology of Radical’s proprietary ‘Titanium 2.0’ engine, Prototype 2 will redefine gamer’s expectations of over-the-top open world action.

  • New York Zero: An All New Open-World Hunting Ground! The New York that humanity has come to know and love over the years no longer exists…it is now New York Zero, or more simply, NYZ.
PROTOTYPE 2’s NYZ open-world sandbox is broken up into three completely distinct zones. From the heavily militarized “Green Zone”, to the overcrowded refugee shanty town camps of the quarantined “Yellow Zone”, all the way to the war-ravaged nightmare known as the “Red Zone” – this is a city unlike anything gamer’s have experienced before. The home of Alex Mercer, the Red Zone portrays a nightmarish vision where the Blacklight virus has completely overrun the city’s shattered skyscrapers and population, with infection and the risk of death at every corner.

You can have a lot of fun with prototype games. I enjoyed this one more than the first one, but they are both amazing to be honest.

This game works solely on my Steam Deck. I can't manage to run it on my Gaming Desktop or Gaming Laptop. If playing it portably on a Steam Deck isn't an issue for you, then feel free to purchase it.

Full of bug, even after using mods. But this game is so nostalgic. Sequel when?

Unironically some of the best tank gameplay in any game before games like War Thunder came around. Probably still some of the best, more arcadey, shoot'em-up tank gameplay out there.
