Prototype Was Peak Superhero Gaming

[ПРОТОТИП] MATURE 17+ CONTENT RATED BY ESRB ACTIVISION >unabashedly edgy af >is technically a superhero game but has no MCU quips >setting is actually played straight >protagonist is a true anti-hero who is never redeemed, lore makes him out to be downright evil >everyone is a bastard and the world they're in is fucked beyond any hope of salvation Why dont we get edgekino like this anymore?

A dark, red-and-black cover for the video game Prototype shows its monstrous anti-hero alongside a list praising the game’s unapologetically edgy tone, bleak setting, and morally evil protagonist. The joke is nostalgic exaggeration: the author misses superhero games that were grim, sincere, and excessive instead of polished Marvel-style stories full of quips.
