## About Prototype 2

Prototype 2 is a 2012 open-world action-adventure game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Activision. Set in a devastated Manhattan quarantine zone, players control infected soldier Alex Mercer as he hunts down enemies through dark, intense scenarios across a ruined city. The game features parkour traversal, third-person combat, a mutation system where players absorb enemies to gain new abilities, and open-world destruction. Players describe the progression-loop as addictive, and highlight moments like suplexing tanks and smoothly switching between weapons mid-combo as particularly satisfying. The game is playable on Steam Deck at normal difficulty with a medium-length campaign, and received a 73% positive rating from 4,320 Steam reviews with a Metacritic score of 76.
