    Second Son is easily the best game Sucker Punch has ever released, easily the best game available so far on the PS4, and easily the one game that every PS4 owner should purchase.

    It doesn’t stray off the series’ beaten path too much, but there are enhancements in terms of gameplay and some stunning effects put to good use to create the PS4′s most fun and best looking game yet...While the narrative might not have the same impact as previous games, it’s somewhat more of a down-to-earth tale of an ordinary man with extraordinary powers, and that’s an exciting new direction for the series to take.

    It plays great, and it looks even better, but its advancements also beg it to be held to a higher standard, one that its overall story and morality systems struggle to reach.

    At times, Infamous Second Son delivers great fun with its combat mechanics, yet a repetitive formula, combined with some hiccups and balancing issues, ultimately can't be ignored. It's an entertaining and visually beautiful piece of software, but it could've been much more.

    Second Son is better than the first two games: it's faster and much more satisfying. It's just a shame that Sucker Punch has not been able to make it the best of the genre due to a few slips and imprecise behaviors.

    InFamous: Second Son is good but unmemorable — essentially the diner food of video games.

    Second Son looks fantastic and from a technical perspective, it’s a pretty impressive feat especially given that the game is out less than six months from the release of the Playstation 4. Unfortunately the gameplay isn’t up to par with the light show. Like the neon that Delsin channels, it’s all light and no heat.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed this entry in the infamous series. Amazing graphics and smooth fps are just examples of how amazing this was. The 4 powers used in the game were original and fun to use. Combat is fun but annoying at times and the story was pretty predictable but the gameplay was outstanding. Really great game. reccomended for all PS4 owners… Expand

    The Story of Infamous. Second Son starts pretty funny and Delsin Rowe is a cool and funny protagonist. But at the end it gets very emotional. You can decide if you want to play good or evil, but the good side fits better to Delsin. Moreover, it's always clear which way is the good and which the evil one. If you switch between them, you lose Karma Points (=EP).
    8,5/10

    Gameplay:
    The Gameplay is great. There are four different super powers. You really feel like a super hero or a super villain. There are also some sidequests, which are mostly very short, but entertaining.
    9/10

    Technic:
    The sound is great and the graphics and physics are amazing. This game shows the power of the PS4.

    Overall:
    A great exclusive titel.

That is basically myIf you like this kind of game and liked the other infamous games, you'll also like this one, but might find it worse. That is basically my opinion. I never though of buying infamous 1, but I gave it a try after Sony gave it for free after PSN problems (loads of years ago) and I loved it; since then I played all of them. I got to say this is a good game and it is definitely worth the money, but the word is good, not great. This instalment of the series has a much more realistic-like setting which I personally like less that the original settings. I also found the game short (I mean the main story) in comparison with the other two games. Other than that, the game play and everything else is quite similar to the previous infamous games in a good way. The characters are likeable and the story is all right (not as great as the in the other games). Go for it, you'll find a good game, but I wouldn't expect great.… Expand
