[PROTOTYPE] 2 is a really fun open world game
It's charm is on being as edgy as possible
It introduces you into a world trying to survive from a virus and such
As a big Protoype Fan,I think the game is great at it's own,but compared to the first,it has improvements,but also downgrades
Note that everything below is my own opinion about the game and shouldn't be taken seriously,you might find more pros about the game than me,idk

Improvements

-[PROTOTYPE] 2 is way better than 1 in terms of visuals and graphics
-It's mechanics are also sweet,even that most of them were taken from one
-The map is slightly more vast than one,since it's made out of 3 maps
-The protagonist is more charismatic here,he makes some good jokes here and there
-The gameplay is also top notch here too,I really like the Finishers,which are based from the forms you have
-Collectibles that show you what happened before you came
-The variety of infected enemies
-You can spawn your own minions to do your job
-Things actually happen in the city if you're careful enough,like people jumping from the buildings,intentionally or as accident
-You can attend challenges and compete with the friends that have the game,if you buy the DLC
-You can cause massive destruction by making people explode,literally

Downgrades
-The story,it's way too plain,the main idea is getting your daughter back and that's it,sometimes it was very questionable
-The protagonist swears a lot,20 times in the first 20 minutes,more than your average Call Of Duty kid
-The characters are mostly stereotypes,you have the average black guy,the Saturday Night Villain,the basic ♥♥♥♥♥,the mad scientist,the crude soldier with the assistant who kisses his ass etc.
-It has a recap for the first one,but the creators didn't follow it's story. The only characters that also were in 1 are the same characters you meet in the first 20 minutes of the game
-It's way,way easier than 1 by a long shot,what I found difficult about the game was The Last Fight,which it can be easier if you choose the right weapons
-Once you get all of the mutations,you're very OP,making it more boring
-You get all of the weapons if you progress through the story instead of getting them yourself
-The start up bug and infinte loading bug,luckily I didn't have any of those
-You literally have to pay a DLC with events,that were a thing in 1,just so you can get the Alex Mercer skin,which is the reason you'll buy it,and it's 9.99
-You can get through Military Bases only through story mode,in free roam mode,no way
-The black,white and red cutscenes,they make the game more edgy and serious,but you really don't know how the majority of the cast really looks like
-The lack of boss battles
-That entire variety of enemies you'll be presented with,will be useless,because when you finish the game you'll meet only one type of infected
-The loss of Web of Intrigue and of the Patsy,dude patsy was good
-No spawn points for the monsters,they appear out of nowhere at a random time
-No combos
-You only have one Devastator out of three because the two of them were replaced by discount weapon mechanics
-You can grab anything,at any time you want,no charges,just press circle,B or E in the air and look at him go
-No Hives. The Lairs could have been a great replacement for the Hives from 1,if they were still functional from time to time like them
-People,items and vehicle despawn very quickly. It's out of your range of at least 10 meters?Despawned. You rotate the camera?Despawned.And the people change their skin and model if you don't pay focus on them for too long

Conclusion
[PROTOTYPE] 2 could have been a good game,if it wasn't a Prototype game
It shows potential,great potential,but the devs really didn't use any of it and made an entirely cliche story,that had to be explained by comics
I'll give it a fair 5.5/10,it managed to hook me up a lot so there's that

Everything is good,talking with your old friend
Until you reach to the point of no return...
Then things go darker than expected...

Not much of a horror game,but a great visual novel in my book
It gives a meaning to the phrase "Don't judge a book after it's cover"
Too bad that things start to get interesting after 6 hours...

Early Access Review
A wonderful recreation of the original Half-Life,it's the meaning of effort,something that you don't see too much these days...
The soundtrack is astonishing
The textures really remind you of Half Life 2,but in comparison,Black Mesa's eye-catching textures are more improved than HL2's textures
The mechanics are really good
The only con that comes in my mind is about Xen not being released,but all we can do is wait

I'll give it a 9.5/10,I mean it's really one of the few games to get my attention.

It's ok
Good thing the community takes care of it's carcass
I mean if Valve actually put more attention into like how it did in the good old days it would be nicer
