    I really don't understand the rave reviews this game has gotten. Is it merely for being a launch title? Having the inFamous label? Its graphics?

Its graphics? The previous inFamous games were superb and I think there was a good reason inFamouns is in tiny letters and Second Son overtakes the label. As though they felt bad even calling it inFamous. I think this was supposed to appeal to dudebros who just bought a PS4 and only play "certain types" of games. For the well rounded gamer, this is poison. I went in with high hopes and was constantly insulted... as a person. I don't like to be around characters like Delsin in real life, why would I want to play one in a game?

    If you couldn't guess, my main complaint about this game would be the characters. They aren't likable at all, none of them. Your main character Delsin is kind of an angry arrogant teenager in a 25 year old's body who thinks he's Banksy and tries his hardest to be cool but he's just a douche. He's whiny, sad, lonely, abrasive, self absorbed, and incredibly sexist. The writing of his script shows they not only don't care about this character but whoever wrote him must think this giant sack of dung is the coolest person in the world. He forces his brother to constantly go against his own principles and do wrong by questioning his manliness and his devotion to family.

    The female protagonist is super cliche and basically her only focus is blaming her drug problems on pushers and killing them off. She's petty, small minded, easy, and I guess embodies a drug addict but still not a character I want in this game. I kept playing, even with how much I hated all the characters. The worst part is everyone is calling you on your phone all the time to complain at you and you just get whiny at them and the ringtone is just horribly annoying.

    The city design is terrible. Everything looks the same, there's no compass direction on the map indicator, the layout making getting around over complicated, the "fast travel" stations only work when you go to one so they're halfway useless, and the change of day doesn't change the city. I kept playing even though the game was clunky. The city was just a low point and it made me miss the amazing open world designs in pretty much every other game like this.

    There are still bugs after patching. Some of the missions don't trigger so you have to restart them several times. Sometimes double the enemies spawn. Randomly guys will be much more active about shooting you so sometimes it's super easy and other times you get shot to death in a couple seconds. There is a glitch where spray painting makes people stop shooting you as well.

    So when did I stop playing? How about the tedious and terribly designed boss battles and fighting system. How about the niche overuse of new PS4 control methods? That's what usually hurts a game. When you just can't enjoy playing it after you remove everything else. The melee is basic and the most powerful but it's so badly done. Shooting powers give almost no damage and headshots take ridiculous accuracy, which your character doesn't have. You can take 20 shots and easily miss a guy you have your reticle right on. Your character goes down fast so you have to hit, shoot, hide, wait, hit, hide, shoot, hide, and repeat that for the entire game. You don't ever feel powerful. Worst of all your super ability takes about 15 seconds to watch and isn't skipable. It keeps me from even wanting to use it.

    There's also the quirky things they tried to do but just became obnoxious. The touchpad is used for several things and it just seems stupid like Sony demanded they use it. The spray painting is just pathetic and the mechanics for that are clunky as well. The sound coming out of the controller becomes annoying. The phone ringing, absorbing things, just any loud high pitched annoying sound they could throw through that thing at way too high of a volume, they did.

    So why would you like or play this game? I don't know, maybe you're capable of overlooking all of the terrible qualities on your wasted money. The story is not even redeemable, it's a rip-off of X-Men. If you look at the competent well done reviews by the more reputable people around gaming, you find mixed or negative feelings toward this game. It's just bad and I only enjoyed the first 20 minutes, until you start getting powers and become a needy child wanting more and more. Because all you care about is more powers so you can be cool and tough.

    Bad story, gameplay, mechanics, design, and characters make it one of the all time worst games I've played. I just hope they remaster the first two inFamous games for PS4 so I    … Expand

This game's plot and story is alright, there aren't many things that are unexpected and the game's ending is predictable. The characters are difficult to care for, and there's almost no connection to them. The gameplay is fun, the various superpowers are entertaining but eventually grow boring. There's not much enemy variation, the enemies are limited to a few different types throughout the game. The city you are left to free roam in does not feel alive. The citizens walking the streets do not feel like they could be real, and the people driving cars never get out of them and just aimlessly drive around the city. The choices that you make don't feel like they matter, and it's the same with your karma meter. There's just not much life in this game's city and the actions that you make. It didn't feel like the karma actions that I made affected the city at all, and that what I did was useless and didn't affect anything. Also, the different powers felt almost like a rehash of the same thing, with the skill tree unlocks being almost the same. However, the game was fun, and it was entertaining to play. Unless you are a hardcore inFamous fan, or find the game relatively cheap enough, I would personally not buy it. This game scores a 6/10, it is a good game.… Expand

    Good looking game, perfect fluidity, but god, too much repetition. Maybe I made an overdose with inFamous 1 & 2 which were great games by the way.
    I would recommend it if you never played inFamous.

    Seattle is not a great candidate for an Open world to be designed around , and to many gamers outside the United States it seems like we're left out of the loop when we are supposed to know what monuments such as the Space Needle is and we should be treating it like a huge deal that we're climbing the Space Needle.
    I didn't have many problems with infamous : Second Son's story , I thought it wasn't great but wasn't too bad either , i think the voice acting for Delsin , Reggie and Fetch were good. I don't understand the character designs of some of this universe though , they seem to me to be incredibly boring or trying too hard to be dark or edgy (Fetch's backstory).

    I think Sucker Punch should be applauded for thinking out of the box in terms of powers that Delsin uses as I haven't seen any of these in other games before or open worlds that i can think of

    There is little difference between the difficulties offered and you might aswell play on Expert difficulty the first way through and what little replayability that is left for a second playthrough is down to morality choices.

    I thought the sidesquests were largely uninteresting and boring , the graffiti sidequest seemed like it was put in to have some sort of touchpad control inserted into the game.

    It's a short game but it does at least give a few boss fights but you rarely feel under threat of being killed.

    Conclusion : Infamous Second Son is an okay game , I think the setting is uninteresting along with some of the cast but it has a decent story and good voice acting tieing together mediocre gameplay and decent audio    … Expand

    inFamous: Second Son is good but unmemorable game. If you played the previous games than you basically played this one as well. Except the two previous games had superior story with interesting twists and surprises. The gameplay hasn't changed much from the previous titles but it's better especially the movement. The new powers are fun and make you feel like a superhuman so the game succeeds in some way. Also the game looks stunning on PS4 so if you want the game to show off what the console can do, it's this one. Overall the game is fine but you won't remember it for long.    … Expand

    A good game that can get very repetitive. Doesn't take long to do a full play through, it will capture your attention for a few days until the repetitiveness becomes too much. Not much replay value but still worth a play through if you have a PS4.

The story of this game is worst compared to the previous titles. In fact, it is very ordinary, short and nothing really in the whole campaign felt as unique and everything is predictable. It just shows the aftermath of Cole's actions from Infamous 2 and revolves around the discrimination felt by the surviving "bioterrorist" in the world. As to the characters, All in all, It is BAD, Delsin is not that interesting and has a lot of corny and annoying jokes, his evil persona is so out of place and a try-hard to be "evil" while it is very obvious that his good path is his true personality. As a conclusion, he is not a good new protagonist to change Cole. The supporting cast however are much more interesting esp that guy who likes videogames (avoiding spoilers). Ill give this aspect a score of 6/10.

    Gameplay - The positives, the gameplay is so smooth and has little to no bugs or glitch whatsoever. Delsin has not only one but FOUR different powers in the game which is divisive and useful in many and different situations and battles in the game. The negative side however is the small number of skills and scope of Delsins power in the game. Every power has their own version of R1 and L1s and glide and dashes and nothing really distinguishes a power from another power other than how they look. Its should have been better if they just made more skills available for us. An okay score of 8 to me.

    Graphics - Now this is the part where this game lives up to the hype. The game is SOOOO GORGEOUS AND SO SMOOTH. One of the best graphics of the game in the year it was released. No graphical issues, lags or frame rate drops are occuring anywhere despite a lot of explosions appearing on screen. The facial expression of every character from the movement of their eyes to their movement of their lips and cheeks are all detailed and almost realistic. The motion acting of every character is smooth and the cutscenes are like watching a film. A score of 10/10 deserves such effort by Insomniac Games.

    Soundtrack and Sound - Voice acting is top notched. You have Troy Baker who tbh, the only reason why Delsin is not a failure of a protagonist. The guy's voice acting is awesome. Every actor and actresses in the game really put their best in order to put life to every character they did and I LOVE IT. As to the soundtrack however, personally, I never really liked the punk style hardcore music, Its not really my thing and it didnt really fit to the storyline the game wants you to feel. A score of 6 for this.

    Total Average = 7.5

    This is a game which continues one of the better series from Playstation's exclusives and this game is the worst of the 3 games in its series. The protagonist is weak, overall cast are weak also, the story is average, the powers are many but nothing really was interesting and the overall campaign felt normal and nothing really memorable happened. All in all, despite the great graphics and smooth gameplay, every other thing felt ordinary if not dissapointing. Dont get me wrong, if it is a stand alone game or a new ip it would be better but it being a successor to its succesful predecessors would also be the reason of its criticism. That is all. Thank you.    … Expand

    Infamous Second Son was one of the first game being released on PS4. Now, in 2020, I can safely say that the game didn't aged really well.

I liked the fact that Delsin has many different powers and you have a lot of freedom in the way you use them.

    This is also an open world sandbox game which was quite new in 2014. I didn't completed all of the optional quests as I found repetitive to always fight DUP agents. For the main story, you can expect a game that will last around 10 hours.

Well, at the first glance of the graphics made by suckerpunch, the art style is very careful with animations and details of the textures that draws attention during its time of launch and stay pleasant, although there are some bugs in the execution, as well as in the jump of the characters .

    Soundtrack is far from being marked as the open world of the game that tries to bring innovators quests but that are repeated a lot and are boring, the studio also fails to try to set seattle in the game being the unattractive and charismatic city looking like just another generic video game map.
    The game narrative with its ups and downs, the main group of characters are charismatic, but is very little explored during a game campaign, sees very little development, making some moments more difficult to make a big impact on the plot.

    In a sustainable way, the story is good and has good characters but everything seems very and empty, this takes the Karma system already present in other games in the franchise or the system was expanded taking into account small choices in its gameplay or that it is very interesting, but big choices are not very interesting representing almost no dilemma.

    In the end what makes the experience of the infamous second son really interesting is its gameplay with a wide variety of skills and powers allows you to play as you prefer to have the most fun with a great combination of activities and strokes available in the game, infamous is not a marked game, but it has its qualities being an interesting distraction if you buy a good price.    … Expand

There isn't exactly much nuance to the decisions you're given in the game - they're all black and white, and there isn't really any mortal ambiguity. Still, this means there's two different paths to go down in the game, providing a fair amount of replayability if you want to see how those different choices affect the narrative and what different powers you get to use, as some upgrades in the skill tree are locked depending on your karma.

    Personally, I chose to be good in my playthrough, and although this was quite a short game, I won't be going back to play the other side for the time being. I did enjoy my playthrough, but this isn't the best game out there.

    Infamous can be quite fun thanks to the four sets of powers you unlock, but unfortunately the protagonist Delsin feels quite clunky to control, at least at first, and even throughout the game I thought the combat felt too loose. It can be exciting and chaotic, but it can also feel unsatisfying because it's hard to tell how close you are to dying, and because there isn't much depth to the melee or ranged combat. The sets of powers could've done with being more functionally distinct - besides having their own visual identities, there are a lot of similarities in how they actually play. Overall, the combat never fully clicked with me, but I liked it enough.

    Traversal can be fun, if a little clumsy, but the climbing, which you admittedly don't have to do much of, is too fiddly.

    Second Son is still a decent looking game in 2020, and the powers all have a unique visual style to them, but the world just looks way too dark sometimes and it's hard to tell what's going on. When you unleash your powers it all looks flashy as the screen fills with impressive particle effects, but the frame rate can be very unstable when there's a lot of action happening.

    The open world shows its age a bit in its basic design, as there's barely anything to do except for what is essentially liberating districts. The side content is all very simple and easy to get through quickly. None of it is too much of a chore, but none of it is particularly interesting. The spray painting activities are quite unique and cool but very gimmicky.

    The story is passable, and as others have pointed out the lore seems quite inspired by X Men. Most of the characters aren't very likeable, and Delsin can be quite annoying which made me struggle to get invested in Infamous Second Son.

    As it is, this is still a fun, short title with some good replayability. It doesn't do anything exceptionally well, but it's still a decent game.    … Expand

    One of the most mediocre games of all time. The combat is extremely repetitive, considering that all 4 powers actually use the same offensive principles: shooting projectiles. This makes the game feel more like a third person shooter without guns than a superhero / supervillain game. Storywise, Infamous is dumb and dull, lacking any thought-provoking ideas.

    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.

    Infamous may be fun and interesting on the first hours of gameplay, but the rest of the game makes you feel empty and bored. My biggest issue with this game is the poor story and repetitive gameplay . In my opinion, the gameplay is ok, but lacks of something to make it fun and enjoyable. Delsin (main character) is not a good protagonist as Cole (Infamous 1 and 2). In general, is a mediocre game.

    Having played Infamous: Second Son for the first time in 2014, this was my first game on the PS4. After 6 years i returned to finally complete it on Hard, and here's my review of the game.

    Infamous: Second Son feels more like a spin-off to Infamous 1 & 2 than like a sequel. The main character is a loser that takes no responsibility for his actions (whether you gain Good or Bad Karma    Having played Infamous: Second Son for the first time in 2014, this was my first game on the PS4. After 6 years i returned to finally complete it on Hard, and here's my review of the game.

    Infamous: Second Son feels more like a spin-off to Infamous 1 & 2 than like a sequel. The main character is a loser that takes no responsibility for his actions (whether you gain Good or Bad Karma doesn't matter). Delsin Rowe gets himself and others in danger repeatedly, and only thinks short term. He's the definition of a Millennial. Unfortunately, neither the villains or "Good guys" in this game have much of a brain, well except for Reggie.

    The previous games choose to have a cartoonish look to them, trading in realistic graphics for art style. With this entry it is mostly gone in favour of more realistic graphics. At times it looks beautiful, but i don't see the point. Shadow and black in this game is so dark that it will block your view, followed by flashing you with very bright light. It's rather uncomfortable. Without the art style from the previous games it is also harder to see what's happening on screen, and it feels more tame. What happened to the colour full monsters?

    But gameplay wise, Infamous Second Son does entertain. The better you get, the more you will use elevation, environmental objects and different powers. At Hard it feels like enemies are spamming you a bit too much, but it is manageable. The climbing system feels rather broken though. Delsin jumps on objects very inaccurate, and usually doesn't grab ledges that are right under his nose. Once you get Neon you won't have to climb anymore thankfully.

    I do hope that some studio returns to the Infamous franchise someday, but rather from an angle AGAINST the conduits. I would like to see more DUP soldiers that have genuine motivations to hunt the conduits, even if they might be conduits themselves.

    A fun game, but a bit of a tame and dumb game as well. It is a good game overall, and i give it a 7/10.    … Expand

    Althought not as good as it's series' predecessors, Second Son feels like a refreshing side-story in the same world. The new protagonist isn't as good as Cole, but he still manages to be an adequate leading man for the story. The variety of new powers is fun and allows you to mix and match. Overall not a stand-out experience but a good sequel that serves to continue the Infamous story.

    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.

    It's more like a flashy game with colourful abilities than a brutal game that it used to be.

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    The gameplay and story of the game could be much better than this.
    However, the songs of this game are really soothing and there is a good feeling of calmness in the songs (and if the rainy weather and you walk in the city and listen to the songs of the game, the calmness of the songs will increase) Apart from the songs, the game's graphics are also very natural (especially for 2014,    The gameplay and story of the game could be much better than this.

    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

    I mean it's alright like. Mainly because repetitive and boring side activities spoil all the fun.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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]

    Fun romp, beautifully rendered and executed. Fantastic superpowers make up for the lack of depth. [Issue#241]

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