The story of Prototype 2 doesn't delve much deeper than that. Heller blames Mercer for the death of his family, and it's our job to bring vengeance upon him through a 14-hour game (if you complete all the side quests). About 14 months after the events of the first game, New York City is once again plagued by a viral outbreak, supposedly caused by Alex Mercer, the antihero of the original title. If you skipped the original Prototype, you won't have any issues jumping into the sequel. However, Heller becomes an angry caricature, and Prototype 2 turns into an enjoyable but predictable action title. The emotional connection to our protagonist is severed. But that motivation is lost when the game starts, and Heller begins inserting curse words into almost every sentence. James Heller initially becomes a relatable character, and we want to see him use his superpowers to exact revenge on those responsible. The Homecoming trailer expertly weaves this heart-wrenching story of a soldier who told his family to trust the government, only for it to cost them their lives. Unfortunately, there comes a point while playing Prototype 2 when you realize the marketing campaign was a lie.
