    Очень часто моменты когда не понятно, что происходит. Интересные битвы с босами и открытый мир

    Solid fun game with amazing graphics, but not great like 1 and 2, the characters are interesting and story is decent, but took me a long time to beat because it didnt capture me that much.

    First infamous that I play, I play more or less entertaining, a little short for my taste.

    A lot of NPCs and cars are repeated in the city even so today graphically it looks very good

    A blast of a game, with fantastic gameplay and world/level design. Whilst the binary choice system has always felt a little limiting and this game doesn't really break that trend, the gameplay implications of your story decision are just as great if not better than the other mainline Infamous games.

    Overall fun game. Elemental powers are a fun addition. The story is forgettable. Gameplay loop is ok

    The game is good. The most pleasant point is the effects and light story that you will enjoy without hard thinking. Everything else is good and delivers nothing more than expected from the average well developed game.

    The only thing I wish this game had is a lock on mode. The aiming was so damn annoying. The game was good though. The Neon power was cool af. The story was alright. Don't have much to say. It was a good game.

    Great gameplay, but game is way too short. Traversal is the best part by far. Was a little disappointed as you have literally nothing to do after finishing the game. Your choices are not so hard, is always a good one and a bad one, nothing to make you think about or test your moral.

    It is good,but not that good for 10. Visuals are great, gameplay enjoyable, combat also..I didn't see any epic moments,cutscenes..The story is ok, but nothing special.

    Игра отличная! Но этот гемплей это просто пипец, через силу заменяю некорректные слова. Когда тебе всю игру говорят что ты биотерорист и один из самых опасных людей в стране и при этот тебя может убить 2 солдата которые постоянно стреляют префаерам. Короче игра фигня конченая.

    This game is a lot fun. It’s very hard though! The story is funny at times and keeps your attention. The combat is unique and entertaining but very repetitive. The game is also frustratingly hard. 7/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En gameplay esta divertido, salvo que los poderes parecen ser desechables, en cuanto encuentras el siguiente en la campaña, automaticamente el anterior, a comparacion, es menos conveniente y menos efectivo para el gameplay, aparte el ultimo poder, el mas fuerte de todos, ya lo adquirimos al final del juego.
    En cuanto a la historia, tiene muchos huecos argumentales de continuidad, ahora ya no necesitan activar sus genes con la esfera del primer juego, o una explosión que la simule como en el segundo, sino que se activan por que si, ya que hasta donde sabemos, ni los prisioneros ni Delsing estuvieron expuestos a la explosion de la esfera ni de "la bestia", y otra es que, el final del segundo juego queda sin sentido, se nos explico que todos aquellos con genes conductores (con poderes activos o no) moririan, pero resulta que siempre no?!
    En cuanto a las misiones secundarias, resulta que literalmente son las mismas, limitandose a 6: encontrar una camara, pintar esa pared, pintar ese letrero, atacar a esa patrulla o puesto, encontrar un audio, encontrar a un agente encubierto... Y así solo esas dividiéndose repetitivamente por segmentos del mapa en un especie de copia-pega que se termina volviendo tedioso.
    Me compre el ps4 solo para jugar este, ya que los anteriores me habían dejado alucinado de lo buenos que eran, y me lleve tremenda decepción.    … Expand

    All four powers are unique and fun to use. Neon being the best for sure. My only criticism is it was pretty short and has a lot of filler missions but it was still super fun I loved the final boss battle. Not overly difficult even on the expert setting. Its just short and a bit repetitive. Nothing super special to it but it;s a fun game to play and beat in a few hours

    Прекрасный визуал на PS5, хотя игра вышла в далёком 2014 году. чёткий 3д звук, который в хорошей гарнитуре прекрасно чувствуется.

    Геймплей неоднозначный, спорный, так как из 4 классов, которые доступны в игре, только двумя (геймер и неон) можно нормально играть. Камень и дым очень медленные, не блещут разнообразием и попросту не интересны, играя этими классами меня быстро убивали, играл    Прекрасный визуал на PS5, хотя игра вышла в далёком 2014 году. чёткий 3д звук, который в хорошей гарнитуре прекрасно чувствуется.

Камень и дым очень медленные, не блещут разнообразием и попросту не интересны, играя этими классами меня быстро убивали, играл на эксперте, либо я рукожоп и не раскрыл их потенциал.

    Сюжет детский, предсказуемый, к персонажам я не смог проникнутся, а порой ловил кринж с их глупых шуток и нелогичных действий. Злодей типичный, шаблонный, карикатурный, забыл о нём через пару часов после прохождения.

    Порадовали задания с раскраской стен при помощи баллончика, опять же из-за хорошего объёмного звука. Задания с тайными агентам скучные (да, и другие задания тоже) и порой сами агенты, которых нужно ликвидировать повторяются... хотя таких заданий не шипко много.

    Вот и получается, что лучшей частью игры является визуал и звук. К геймплею, сюжету, персонажам есть множество вопросов и перепроходить ещё раз игру только из-за того, чтобы посмотреть новые способности и катсцены желания совсем нет, хоть игра и короткая.    … Expand

    Good game. Great gameplay and graphics for a 2014 game. I really enjoy the super powers and i think characters are interesting. But they are boring af.

Sometimes i really enjoyed the plot and the character but some other times i really got bored (and its a very short game so just imagine) and i feel like this game have many cliche. Overall its a good game cause you can use many super powers and its open to you to choose if you wanna be good or evil. Also the collectibles are super easy and they're not drop them in the game. They have their story and you'll want to collect everything even you don't go for platinum. I liked this game and i was between 6 and 7 but i'd feel sad to rate with 6 a game that in the most times i enjoy. So a 7 its the best rating for this game for me.… Expand

    Whoever designed the lighting in this game, SUCKS ASS. Most of the game you have to play it in the darkness, regardless if it is day or night. I set the brightness to max and still I had to shoot in the darkness and when you use your powers the brightness of the powers will blind you which double sucks, terrible lighting design.

    Leaving that aside, it was a fun game to play. It was not better than the previous ones but it was not lesser either. I loved that you had more powers to choose from, that was a great idea.

    The story was ok, it kinda followed the plot that you have seen many times, so I didn’t get surprised at all in how things turned out, or maybe I’m just too old to get amazed any more...

    The side missions were really simple and repetitive, honestly tree missions that repeat over and over again, why would they do something like that?

    The last battle was dull and kinda boring, I think the previous boss battle was way better.

    I love InFamous games because you get the chance to do what you cannot do in any other video games, that is to get the chance to play as the villain. It’s always lots of fun.    … Expand

    Playing this for the first time, using a ps5. It's an OK game. Controls feel kind of floaty, and the lighting makes it hard to see. The powers are kind of underwhelming and odd (smoke, neon, video?).

    As a game that is basically free these days, it may be worth a few hours dabbling, but I quickly grew tired of it after probably 10-15 hours, and am probably not going back

    It definitely isn’t one of those games you talk about years after its release, but it showcases PS4’s capabilities well and in contrast to Killzone: Shadow Fall also does something else – guarantees fun from the beginning till the end. [CD-Action 05/2014, p.58]

    inFamous: Second Son is not a bad sandbox game at all! Serves as an interlude while waiting the heavy hitters to arrive. [Apr 2014]
