    I found the gameplay and abilities pretty interesting and the graphics pretty well made and optimised for ps4. No significant framerate issues and pretty nice art. The only downside was the dull story and the repetitive pace of the game, unlocking areas, clearing them out, progressing the story and repeat.

    I bought a PS4 just to get this game and mostly I'm glad i did but even though i liked it mostly, it was just too short to say that it is better than the first two.

    Infamous has a beautiful graphics and a good story, good AI and an active city. The powers was awesome especially the video power. I hope for a DLCs with more powers .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Second Son, truthfully probably deserves a 10. However it falls short of this because of one thing. The evil campaign, now hear me out here. Simply put the evil campaign just isn't what I and what I hope others were looking for in the sense there is no moral sympathy of an evil character in this game. Unlike Cole when playing as evil it was more of a twisted sense of justice rather then some weird evil of killing street performers for whatever reason. Additionally being evil doesn't really change the story much as spoiler your brother continues to aid you the entire time which feels weird. In the end playing the evil route just made me feel like some whiny baby rather than an anti-hero that I felt while playing as Cole in the previous inFamous games. Graphics, combat, and overall gameplay are great; so are the whitty lines and the good campaign which was rather impressive I think. So if you own a PS4 buy this game it'll be money worth spending.… Expand

    Finished this game last week. Probably one of the best game in the next gen console for now. The story starts after the end of Infamous 2 (Hero Cole).

The conduits are still being treated as dangerous subjects. Our hero, Delsin, is a rebel lad. And his brother, Reggie, is part of the police force. One day, the two of them witness a car accident. Delsin found a guy who can shoot fire from his hand, and when he touched him, he got the smoke power and turns into a conduit. So, will Delsin will be able to turn back to normal? Play and find it out.

    Plus point:
    - Lovely graphics. As a PS4 exclusive, Infamous Second Son has an awesome environment. I mean, it's a sandbox game, but it's just lovely.
    - Awesome gameplay and usage of the DS4. I mean, the way you use your controller as a spray can? That's just awesome. The game itself is pretty easy to control. One button to release Delsin's powers.
    - Still the choices of being Infamous or True Hero. This increase the replay value. But only once. The path to be a hero or infamous. After that, you are done!
    - Probably one of the game in PS4 with the easisest platinum trophy. Play it twice, and it's yours.
    - Delsin can absorbs total of 4 powers. Smoke, Neon, Video, and for the post game, Concrete. This makes the battle more variable. You can change your style in the middle of the battle, and see their different ultimate attacks.

    Minus point:
    - Cheesy story. I never expect much from the story. Well it is a sandbox game, but yeah compared to the Cole's chapters, Delsin's story is just plain & boring.
    - Although Delsin got 4 powers, the powers seems almost the same one to another. I mean, first there are shoot power, and then one big attack moves, jumping/flying moves. They could have specialized each power to make it more special though.
    - Lack of formidable enemies. Well, if you play it on insane difficulty, then yes, it's quite a challenge. But other than that, they don't have a "strong" bosses to challenge us.

    The verdict:
    Infamous : Second Son is a must play if you have a PS4. I mean, it's GTA with superpowers. How cool is that? But don't expect the story to be awesome, because it's not. But nevertheless, the game us very enjoyable. Although you'll get bored with the repetitive missions. But that's to be expected. 8/10 for this game.    … Expand

I had no problem with the story. I thought the villain was done well to the point where I wanted to smash her face by the end of the game. The supporting characters were fun and full of their own quirks. Graphics are amazing, and most of all the game play is a lot of fun. This game is a great show piece for your PS4. It is worth the $60, but if you still are unsure then wait for a price drop. Either way you are going to be glad you played it.… Expand

    Probably the most beautiful game out there, not just due to resolution but especially due to graphical style! The combat mechanics is great, the characters are ok, the open world in it is mediocre! For PS4 it is a must own!

    This is an excellent game in terms of graphics and story. There is plenty of side missions to be done, thought they can become tedious, and the paper trail promotion added some free ingame content that I didn't really expect.

    Trophies are fun to achieve but the overall meta is pretty simple.

    Definitely recommend this game for anyone looking for a few weeks to a month of game play - can do at least two play throughs to see the story from both good and evil side - especially if the price drops.

    I do expect this game to be the first triple A game to be released via PSN but not for atleast a year.    … Expand

    This game does a great job with retaining the feel of inFamous with a good story and nice wide, open spaces. My main gripe with it is that you really don't feel engaged with the enemies (all one type with little variance), and perhaps they should have done more with fewer powers than cram as many different powers into the game as possible. Still a LOT of fun!

    InFamous: Second Son is a great game. There's a good selection of powers to use and upgrade, and exploring the city never feels tiring at all because you can do it both parkour style and use your newfound powers to get about more quickly and easily. Helping, or killing citizens, be good or be bad, that's what i love about the InFamous games, and this one takes it up the next level. TheInFamous: Second Son is a great game.

Helping, or killing citizens, be good or be bad, that's what i love about the InFamous games, and this one takes it up the next level. The story's pretty decent, nothing special by any means. What i love second most about this game is the character portraits. Delsin Rowe is 10 times more likable than Cole ever was in the previous games. He's funny, and absolutely LOVES having superpowers and that's what's so cool about him, and i don't blame him when playing the game. All of the characters from his brother Reggie and the three conduits: Hank, Fetch and Eugene. You genuinely care for them, because they're so round and unique. Even Augustine the main villain, is one my favorite video game villains of all time. There's just something about her, that makes you feel she could really be some government evil military super **** like in the movies. The voice acting and her appearance all the way from her face and hair to the trench coat and boots, she's really believable and i think SuckerPunch really made an effort with her and all of the characters not to make them forgettable like most others from the previous titles. The boss battles are also super cool, especially the last one is epic. The only downside to this game is how short it is. You're definitely gonna see the end credits roll sooner than you'd like. There's not much to do outside of the main story either. There's only five side quests in total in each of the districts and that includes the district showdowns. There are a lot of drones and people to interact with to get your karma meter filling but it's too easy and too soon you've unlocked all of your powers and districts. Even if you play the game twice as both evil and good, it's just not enough to justify the length. I really hope that Delsin Rowe will return in the sequel, i really dig him. And it would just feel too boring and degrading to just have only one superpower again when you can have four in this one. Also in the next one, there's got to be more to do both the main missions and the side ones and more to do in the world and it should be a larger map.… Expand

The story revolves around Delsin Rowe and his battle against the Department of Unified Protection. Along the way Delsin gains various powers that are as enjoyable to watch as they are to use. The Karma system plays an important part in deciding what kind of play through is achieved. The choices between good and evil are left to the player and its effects will radiate through the story and the powers that can be obtained. Seattle is an absolutely gorgeous open world setting and while it lacks the abundance of large buildings that the previous games had being able to climb up the iconic Space Needle more than makes up for it. The controls feel fast and fluid with some clever uses of the new touch pad on the PlayStation 4 controller. A comprehensive power tree and added difficulty levels will keep the most dedicated players glued to their seats for hours. Overall Infamous Second Son is a very strong addition to the series and a must own for PlayStation 4 owners who want to show off what their new piece of hardware can do.… Expand

    This game was super fun. The graphics was superb. The story was kind of thin, but it's not bad at all. The main character is cool. The game was kind of short, and I had already won it two times, one on normal and one on hard difficulty, and got the platinum trophy in the first weekend. After I got the platinum trophy, the game wasn't that fun anymore. But it was a fantastic fun experience.

    The game is brilliant. Graphics are great, gameplay is great and the story is pretty good. Gameplay is really fun. Its a nice break from traditional generic FPS game, although I do like those. My only gripe was that it wasn't long enough. I could just keep playing and playing and playing. It may have been 10 times longer than say a CoD campaign, but it was so good that I just wanted more.

The graphics are stunning and hands down amazing especially in full 1080p with 60 fps. The game itself has a more serious tone, and the gameplay is done perfectly. The AI is smart, and story is great, and the city feels very alive. 10/10

Its not a hard game other than a few places (He Who Dwells is NOT my favorite part) and is pretty forgiving on normal difficulty. The dialogue is well written, the story is well done and very well voice acted and the motion capture is just fantastic. This is easily one of the best launch titles for either the PS4 or the XBO and if you enjoy open world action and being a hero, this is a game you should not miss! The game gets dinged for the supposed "morale choice" system as it is not a choice beyond the first one - once you have made that choice your ultimate power is driven by sticking to that initial decision. There is no substantial consequence to your decisions either so the entire idea is mostly an after thought. ALSO NOTE: The Paper Trail FREE DLC is so very, very well done. With that addition this has to be a 9.5 - for metacritic I am revising this to a 10.

    TL;DNR: 10 - Great story with superb voice acting, truly next gen graphics, great game play mechanics. However the meaningless "morality" system appears to be an after thought and should have been better developed, serviceable soundtrack, great atmosphere and overall a fun game with just a few annoying technical control issues (He Who Dwells will sometime have you run backwards despite pushing forward on the stick causing you to die - just as an example) in places but otherwise a great launch title for the next gen PS4. Recommended for those who like to roam a bit and also experience a story - not Mass Effect level of story telling but a good story none the less.

    Technology/engine: 10 - The rendering is amazing and really brings Seattle to life. There was not a moment of delay or tearing - phenomenal engine behind this game with great depth, clarity and detail.

    AI: 7 - Not the brightest nor the dumbest AI, its passable.

    Graphics: 10 - Superb and very realistic graphics rendered flawless by the engine. Great use of motion capture and excellent, seamless integration of cut scenes.

    Sound: 10 - The sound is fantastic with great distance and depth recognition and perfect sound effects and good use of the mini speaker on the dual shock controller.

    Soundtrack: 8 - beyond the Nirvana cover there is not much out of the ordinary nor off putting about the soundtrack. I won't go out and buy it, but it was never a real factor in the game. Appropriate intensities to fit the situations.

    Voice acting: 10 - Excellent voice acting all around. Well delivered dialogue that is very believable and appropriate.

    Crafting: N/A

    Customization: N/A - Very minor part of the game - Custom vests are available as your free sectors (not very intuitive for changing them though) and you get to spend points as you acquire shards for the abilities that interest you. Not a lot of depth here but that is okay for the game that it is.

    Game play systems: 10 - Simply fun game play with lots of side missions and quests. Paper trail -available about 1/3 of the way through, is a nice addition and works seamlessly with the PS4 and a tablet or PC. The abilities make sense and the game is forgiving if you mess up - just run and hide until you regenerate health. Great fun all around. The morality system was meaningless fluff however after your initial choice.

    Controls: 7 - The controls are flawless except in the areas where they need to be flawless - boss encounters. I had a number of deaths due to controller errors and lack of responsiveness in boss battles and that is my only gripe.

    Story:9 - Well written and great pacing to the game's story.

    Story in itself was pretty generic, but good enough a frame around a very well done main character. It was fun to play and there was progression all the way until the end. The game was short for my taste, but it lived up to my expectations. Probably have to play it through again for the obvious reason. Overall it is a solid, fun game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Infamous: Second Son has been heavily hyped as the reason to buy a PS4. This is in no small part due to the fact that it is a sequel to a popular Playstation series, has a unique set of gameplay altering abilities and (probably its most important hype grabber) is absolutely beautiful. So, is Second Son the essential purchase that everyone has made it out to be? In short, yes. In long, here's why.

    First and foremost, the story is utterly gripping. The first two games had an alright protagonist in the form of Cole. He was likeable enough and began to get better in the sequel, but most of the time he had the personality of a wet sponge. Delsin Rowe is easily better, yet this isn't highly apparent as you begin the game. He seems to be a bit of a hipster and the way he talks to himself and drops one-liners reminded me of Jason from Far Cry 3- he was the only thing I didn't like about that game. However you will soon warm to him, as he begins to understand how serious his situation really is. This is helped by Troy Baker's excellent voice acting (he seems to be in everything these days). Delsin is part of a Native American tribe and his adventure begins when he absorbs the powers of an escaped Conduit. With his tribe members sickened by evil DUP leader Brooke Augustine, Delsin needs tto travel to Seattle and absorb more powers if he is going to have any hope of defeating Augustine and her loyal band of soldiers. The story is more relatable than the original games' whole Beast "thing" and Travis Willingham does a fine job alongside Baker as Delsin's kind- hearted brother, Reggie Rowe. The story only gets better as you get deeper, meeting more conduits and absorbing more powers (of which there are four). This is a nice sep up for the series.

    Content wise, you can get around 25 hours out of the game, with both sides taking around 12.5 hours to 100%. The campaign consists of 20 missions and after that you must clear out all of the 13 Seattle districts from DUP control. The activities required to do this are repeated and the side mission structure of the previous games is pretty well gone. However, I didn't mind the new approach. The control centres are hard to beat and the collectibles are all marked out. The various secret agent and camera activities test your reactions and the graffiti minigames are surprisingly fun and are a good showcase of the controller's new abilities. In fact, the controller gets a bit of a showcase, with the touchpad used for draining and switching powers, the triggers used for shooting and the back light used for the representation of the morality you have chosen.

    The open world itself isn't massive, but it is dense, realistic and very, very beautiful. The particle effects are absolutely stunning and while the game rarely takes you into interiors, sometimes you can even see into certain buildings. This gives a sense of a three dimensional space and is more effective than the 2D fronts or the empty lighted windows. Seattle probably isn't the most exceptional open world of all time, but it is technically stunning.

    Gameplay wise, the game is fine tuned and an absolute blast to play. Delsin's power is to take other powers (kind of like Rogue but without all the comas and sickness). You get four powersets across the course of the game, with smoke being the first one. It's similar to Cole's electricity and is like the assault rifle/ shotgun combo of Delsin's powers. It's good enough, but it is neon where things get really good. It plays out like the sniper class and while it may not have the best Karmic streak attack (these are clearout moves and smoke is the best btw), it is a beautiful power and when fully upgraded, will enable you to get around in no time due to the Quicksilver like super running. Video is still the best power though, due to its SMG qualities. The summoning of angels and demons is crazy, but cool and the quick move option is enjoyable. As for the rocket attack- it's deadly and instead of grenades, you get to turn invisible. The final power is given when you defeat the final boss. Concrete is a rehash of the previous powers and is fairly disappointing. The traversal isn't as smooth as what we had with Cole, but the quick move options with the powers make up for this and the melee is finally sorted out, making you feel like a Conduit Kratos.

    Many feel that the game has a dated morality system. After the Witcher's "grey' style this is a little true, but being good is still a stragically fun experience as you try to avoid casualties and being bad is a blast! As for the choices- they're pretty harrowing and will certainly make you feel sorry for Delsin when h only has too options. The new karmic opportunities are also cool and the powers slightly change depending on your allegiance.

    Second Son isn't groundbreaking, but it is a beautiful, enjoyable adventure that provides a cool protagonist, a great story and amazing gameplay. Now I eagerly await the fourth game.    … Expand

    Game looks and runs amazing. The story could be stronger, and the lasting appeal is not high once you play through twice for trophies. With that said, this is an amazing experience. It is about time one of the next gen consoles released a game worth playing, and this is it. The mechanics are spot on. Very fun to play.

    This is easily the best in the inFamous trilogy. Great example of next gen open world game and having just enough side activities that they stay fun, but are not overwhelming or boring. Freedom of movement and mechanics are top notch.

    This game is just sooo AWESOME, fun and funny at times, It really does show off the power of the Ps4, with so many lighting effects, and spectacular horizons, although a couple of downsides were the story little character development with a weak ending, although it does just make up for this by creating an awesome superhero with cool powers!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Infamous second son is a great game and one that every ps4 owner should atleast try. The game is so much fun to play that wont regret purchasing it. The game looks absolutly fantastic, one of the best looking game to date. I'm not much a graphic guy but I appriecate beautiful games and Infamous is one hell of beauty. Not only does it really looked good but the gameplay is so good. You will never get borred in this game because there is always something you can do and your imagination is your only limitation. one reason why you never will get borred is the joy of getting a new power, just when u starting to get tired of a power set you will get a new one. You can updrage all your powers by collecting shards and by doing so you will get new types of attacks/ abilities.
    I dont know why people complain about the story, it is not as awful as some make it to bee. Sure its not of the best stories in game history but it certianly is not bad. I really loved the relationship between the brothers and they made me laugh few times. But the choices in this game can be a bit dissapoint as it does not impact the game so much. THe choices are like black and white and there is nothing in the middle, either its a good act or a evil act. I really wished it was not so obvious which is good and which is evil. I enjoyed the moral choises in infamous 2 more and I felt they had more impact on the game.

    Overall the game is fantastic and I give this game 10 because it dos get a lot of things right. i have played over 30 hours and for me, I have enjoyed every minute of it and at the end of the day thats what counts. I really hope we get to see another infamous in the future. If you own a ps4 and wondering if you should get this game then I highly recomend you to do so. Now back to Seattle!    … Expand

    "Infamous Second Son" is an exhilarating open world super hero game played from a third person perspective in a very nice looking version of Seattle.

I highly recommend this game to anyone who can make the jump to a PlayStation 4. The game looks fantastic and plays great. However, the game follows tropes of its genre, both good and bad. The worst trope, or crutch, is the abuse of wave after wave of guys with machine guns who constantly shoot at you until you end up hiding in an alley until you recover.

    For me, the super hero game gun problem began with "Crackdown". Despite the utter lack of a narrative "Crackdown" was a fun game because for the first time, you could jump anywhere and toss any person or vehicle. Yet, even at its best, "Crackdown" constantly subject the player to enemies that simply stood their ground and firing guns with an inexhaustible supply of bullets. This horizontal hail of bullets continued in "Just Cause 2", where the player character had two super abilities: 1) an infinitely re-usable grappling hook and 2) an infinitely re-useable parachute. The bad guys only had one super ability, telescopic x-ray vision that let them shoot the player character from any distance with any weapon. The game "Batman: Arkham City" solved the gun problem by mostly removing guns from the game. The story device was turning party of Gotham City into a prison a la "Escape from New York", and guns are not allowed into prisons. Although guns appear later in the game, Batman is provided some bullet resistant body armor and stealthy techniques for handling gun wielding enemies. At the very least, "Batman: Arkham City looked like the first super hero game that was not born out of a first person shooter. None of these games nor any super hero game to follow includes the simplest solution: a bullet proof hero. The one game I know of where the player character can be bullet proof is "Saints Row IV", though to be fair this attribute is only unlocked after completing most of the game and the entire game is a parody of other games.

    "Infamous Second Son" does not make a character bullet proof. Nor can players truly fly. The player character has access to 4 sets of super powers, with something like 20 distinct powers in the entire game. None of the powers are very helpful when the main enemy is the ubiquitous faceless soldier wielding a machine gun. And the entire time you play, no matter what the power, the defense to getting shot is running away. Hard to look feel like a super hero when you're running away.

    Another missed opportunity is the lack of differentiation for super powers. All four powers have a same-y-ness to them. You can do a quick movement, shoot enemies, disable enemies, or fire an enormous missile. The color changes but that's about. The big differentiator is the power of invisibility, and though fun, it won't clear the street of jack booted thugs. Most disappointing is the concrete power. You will see bad guys put their concrete power to creative uses. When you get the concrete power, your back to using the same few attacks, only less interesting. Sucker Punch is a studio that is apparently not brimming with creativity.

    The story in "Infamous Second Son" is nice change of pace from some of the bonkers, surprise laden stories of AAA games in the last half decade. The highlight is the interaction of Delsin and his brother Reggie. Though the game is constantly teasing with a dark side, the interplay is funny, heartwarming, and sometimes hilarious. My one gripe is with how the story deals with the antagonist. Early in the game the antagonist violates federal law by torturing members of an Indian tribe on their reservation. Terrorism laws are one thing. Treaties are another. Later one, the player character has ample opportunity to defeat the antagonist in what could be considered the longest boss battle in video game history, except, of course, "Metal Gear Solid" took that prize back in the days of the original Playstation. Instead of playing to the story and ending the fight at the first available opportunity, the game forces the player to keep the fight going for no apparent reason other than padding the playtime. My suggesting for the developers: when you have a story that is more creative than the game play, let the story take over.

    Final thoughts. For better or worse, the game uses every trick the PS4 controller has to offer: a color changing light, in-controller speaker, touchpad, and accelerometer. All of these uses seem tacked-on and gimmicky. The accelerometer, for instance, is only used to paint graffity, and even then, only within a stencil created by the developer. Why have a path for hate filled psychopathic killers? Despite the large open world setting, 100% completion is possible in 20 to 30 hours. The game looks great but the environment is standard non-destructible and the NPC models are straight out of the last generation. The InfamousPaperTrail meta game is expertly done.    … Expand

    This being the second ps4 exclusive (killzone being #1), and arguably the first game some may consider buying the console for, I waited to review this one until I beat the game and had some time to reflect. I usually feel let down by sandbox adventure games. aside from GTA, which set the precedent that base my    GREAT feel good game. any PS4 owner should give this a playthrough!

    This being the second ps4 exclusive (killzone being #1), and arguably the first game some may consider buying the console for, I waited to review this one until I beat the game and had some time to reflect.

    I usually feel let down by sandbox adventure games. aside from GTA, which set the precedent that base my opinions off of, most of them sound great in theory and have you daydreaming about the possibilities for awesomeness, and don't really deliver. Infamous actually surpassed my expectations, and really turned out to be a gem.

    combat: this is what really shines. the powers are SO MUCH FUN. when you can find a game with combat so good, you go out of your way to look for non-progress related encounters just to experience the gameplay, you know you've got something special. the four different powers are each unique, and feel like their own skillset. i dont see the exact same skills with different colored spell effects, i see four entirely different skill trees, each bringing their own strengths to the table. each tier has its own method of travel, active skills, and passives. they use this as a sell point to the game, and rightfully so, the powers are damn cool.

    story: involves your typical stuff; hero, villian, conflict, tragedy. the characters are voiced over nicely and you can connect with some of them, which will help keep you absorbed in the plot. i won't spoil anything, but it's a good time.

    graphics: i dont normally list graphics as a bullet point in my reviews, as i would play a 2d side scroller if the game was good, but infamous: second son requires recognition for its beauty. i can confidently tell you, this is the nicest looking game i have ever played. ever. ever ever ever. the game takes place in a scale model of seattle, and the scenery is literally immaculate. coming from ps3 and 360, i was in the mindset of "how much better could it really get?". the first couple of launch games are all ports, and even killzone as nice as it looks, was only marginally better than what we already had. this is that first one that will blow your mind, the one you want to have in the disc tray when showing off your new system. spell effects, character models, and the world in general look superb.

    cons: my only complaint is the length of the game. i picked this up the tuesday it released, and beat it on saturday of that week. i made it a point to take my time also. between the gorgeous graphics, the phenomenal gameplay, and the above average story line, i just wish it would have lasted longer. the good news is, our new main character cole left us off with plenty of questions to be answered; i think we will see him again for a sequel.

    all in all, great game. whether you are an 8 year old girl or a 75 year old man, you're going to have a good time with this one. if you are debating on grabbing a ps4, go ahead and pick it up, because we have reached the point where next-gen is in in full swing. a legit catalog of titles are now available (including several exclusives- digital download and retail), there are quite a few blockbuster AAA titles on the immediate horizon, and the next-gen only titles have started to release. just make sure that you pick up infamous: second son to go along with your shiny, new console. it's worth buying the system for.

    Now, on to the gameplay. Even though the story is pretty short, it kept me intrigued through the whole game. It was not too serious of a story like the last two inFAMOUS games, which I kinda liked since it was set in a modern city in which the civilians in it weren't too drastically in danger than the other games. The character development was also very well done with each different character in the game feeling widely different in terms of skill and personality. The combat in Second Son is the best I have seen in a video game. It is just so fast paced and smooth, and if you can master a power good enough, you can see yourself wiping away through enemies with a grin on your face. All 4 powers in the game varies very differently, changing up your combat procedures frequently. Was using smoke to take out a bunch of enemies but ran out of juice? Drain some neon and take a more tactical and slow approach to wipe out your enemies. The karma system in the game did not offer as much as I expected it too in terms of power, but the story did change a lot from good to evil.

    When you beat the rather short but very fun story in Second Son, you are left with the open world of Seattle to roam around and finish all the side quests. The side quests of the game are very repetitive and aren't actually quests, but rather small mini games like finding the hidden enemy in a crowd of civilians or spray painting a good/evil image on a wall. These can be done fast and when the whole open world is completed of objectives, you don't really have anything to do, sadly. There is the free "Paper Trail" DLC that allows you to do some really cool detective work on a computer and hunt down the criminals in game, which I found very hard (a good thing) but a cool idea at its own pace.

    This game is one of the most enjoyable of next-gen so far and all PlayStation 4 owners must own the game! I give this game a 9/10.    … Expand

Я играл в демоверсии на прошлом поколении, и игре никогда не удалось зацепить меня просто ничем. Когда я решился таки пройти Второго Сына на новом поколении, я изначально был настроен довольно скептически к игре. Ну а что? Очередной инфеймос, только некстгеновый. Ох как же я был не прав, и я рад, что решился проверить себя на эту неправоту. Во-первых, открытый мир в игре сделан конечно не идеально, но очень хорошо. Бегать/прыгать и летать по нему действительно приносит эстетическое удовольствие. Этакая смесь ГТА, Прототипа, прошлых инфеймосов и чего-то ещё, что вместе сделало город отличным. Во-вторых, это главный герой. Как же я устал от образов "лысых" рэмбо в каждой игре. Огромных, с большими мускулами, этакие копирки с разными причёсками во всех играх. Делсин Роу - это абсолютно первый главный герой в играх такого жанра, который стал мне действительно симпатичен. Это на самом деле молодой парень, я верю разработчикам, что он действительно человек, который удивлён тому, что он умеет! Ну, и наконец в-третьих, концовка этой игры полностью порубила меня на части в хорошем смысле этого слова. Я понял, на что повлиял мой выбор "быть героем" и что было бы если бы я выбрал быть "козлом". Я понял замысел разработчиков, и когда пошли "титры" под кавер на песню Нирваны я сидел минут 2-3 просто без движений. Итог: лучшая из всех Инфеймосов однозначно, одна из лучших игр с открытым миром, замечательная концовка. Из минусов отмечу отсутствие желания играть во "фри-роам", ну логический конец игре есть, хватит уже. И минусом для меня явилось то, что в некоторые моменты игры, в некоторых главах, я ненадолго дропал игру, итого у игры есть небольшие проблемы с удержанием аудитории в напряжении.

It's not on the level I want to see like you can destroy an enemy outpost and blow up cars but if you attack at a mirror in a building or a door then nothing happens but hopefully this changes soon and we will get games with fully destructible environments but I highly appreciate the efforts made by this game.

    My biggest complaint is that though the game allows you to be either Good or Evil, both the playthroughs feel largely the same and the story remains unaltered. It makes a second run pointless. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but this is also a very short game even on the hardest difficulty it is very easy and will not take more than 10 hours unless you are spending a lot of time on the side activities which are kinda dull like finding a camera or killing some target.

    One thing I noticed on my second (Evil) playthrough is that the game also has a side mission called The Paper Trail or something like that and it requires you to connect to the internet once. I was not able to play this mission on my first (Good) playthrough. Maybe it was there and I didn't notice so I'm not sure if this is only exclusive to Evil karma. But anyways, I first thought that it was gonna be interesting since it was about a conduit made of Paper. (He/She leaves paper behind every where they go.) But it just went on and on and on where you have to follow the trail over and over again and click pictures and it just became a chore. The side content is really not worth looking into. But you still have a nice 10 hour worth of solid story and gameplay. I wouldn't recommend this at $60 but it is definitely worth at least $30 or so. I should also mention that the graphics look really nice and I was able to see pores on the characters faces and the soundtrack is awesome too.    … Expand

He was my bro, they could have fake killed him, or let me heal him ='( Also, I couldn't try the evil route. I did it, but then when granny talks to me i don't hold her hand! no! I can't.

    The inFamous series is just a fantastic story. The idea of being a conduit is absolutely fun. Second Son is a great game from start to finish. Highly recommend, hopefully a new installment comes sometime in the near future.

We have military quarantine, freedom suppression, destruction, chaos, mass murderer on the killing spree, false heroes. Drama and fiction all mixed together in some odd way. In a nutshell, this is an interesting game. Actually it reminds me a lot on Prototype series of games and that is generally not a bad thing. Prototype was a solid game with fiew issues. One of them was overpowered main protagonist. InFamous is a carbon copy. We also have overpowered main protagonist and a bit silly narrative.You can be good or you can be bad, the choice is yours. In fact, this prolongs gameplay after you finish main story. It has no difference if you use your power for good or for bad. All superpowers are basically the same: quick and deadly. No matter which power you set active , it will always kill your enemies in most spectacular way. Technically, this is a PlayStation 4 showcase game so It's aesthetically pleasing.The attention to detail is amazing and getting around the beautifully rendered Seattle is a real treat for your eyes. In the end, should you play/buy this game? Yes. This is a must for all ps4 owners.… Expand

    There are very few minor faults in the game. But if there are any clear ones, functionally speaking the movement mechanics (especially climbing buildings) are a bit suspect. The powers in either path could have been more diverse and distinguishable from each other. Main story was also a bit short for my liking. That's about it though.

    Action-Adventure where you leveled up your abilities through a karma system.

    Was it fun?

    At first,. I didn’t enjoy the game. I hated having the smoke ability (its my least favorite of the 4) but then you meet Fetch and you obtain the Neon ability. What I liked about that is I could aim and actually gain good karma by shooting their legs.

    Now the Karma is something I should explain, almost every action you make you choose between good and bad karma. Bad Karma is probably easier to go with, you obtain better abilities with Bad Karma but you’re a super hero in this game so being a selfish dick that I couldn’t relate to so I chose to go for Good Karma.

    Are there any similar games?

    I haven’t played anything that I could say its similar to. I’m sure its similar to the other Infamous games but I haven’t played any of them.

    Favorite Character?

    I liked the main Characters (Delsin) brother Reggie. Reggie was a stereotypical older brother who was a police officer. Overly protective and there wasn’t a lot of character development but I at least find him to be one of the more relatable characters in the game.

    Would you play it again?

    No, I enjoyed the game but nothing really stood out about this game that makes me want to play this again or even another infamous game.

    Any Complaints?

    The story was really weak, I thought it was very stereotypical and very predictable.    … Expand

    Contras :

    Una vez pasado la segunda vez pierde mucho la gracia, por lo limitado que son las variaciones a la historia segun las desiciones, una vez las hayas elejido todas (siempre te dan 2 a elegir,bien o mal ) lo as visto todo, no hay puntos medios ni scenas extras al combinar diferentes respuestas a lo largo de la partida, solo 2 caminos el BIEN o el MAL, pudo ser mejor en esto.

    La variedad de enemigos se hace poca.

    Pueden llegar a ser excesivamente repetitivas TODAS las misiones secundarias para debilitar al D.U.P.
    al final de todo hay una ciclica que es bastante molesta.

    A pesar de ser rapido, el juego no mantiene 60 fps constantes, menciono esto porque el juego incluye la opcion de desbloequar la tasa de 30 y dejarla libre, Puede ser molesto porque varia constantemente, generalmente el juego corre como a 45 inclusive hay un par de scenas en que aun estando bloqueado a 30 el juego decae por debajo de las 20 imagenes por segundo y mas,cuando hay algun jefe, muchos enemigos o una scena de la historia en especial. Es muy inconsistente esta parte del apartado tecnico.

    La historia puede no gustar o decepcionar a muchos si esperabas algo mas elaborado o ambicioso
    _
    en resumen, tiene un par de defectos, pero es un juego divertido,con buen control,rapido y con una historia que cumple con un buen climax sin ser nada pretencioso ni del otro mundo.

The city of Sietl is empty and boring, NPC as in the games of the early 2000s. The plot compared to the series took a step forward, but it is still a primitive story. And there are advantages in it, for example actors play well emotions, this feels. Yes the ending is predictable from the beginning of the game, at the end of the story on the player fall just whole crowds of enemies, which is very annoying. But after the game you enjoy what you have done, it is a pity that there is nothing to do in the world except the main plot.

    Second Son clearly gets better as you gain new powers and improve the abilities, but it requires a bit of patience at the beginning. In fact, I would say the game is better once you have beaten or almost beaten it, since there is more freedom and you can just roam to accomplish the secondary objectives and so on.

    During the storyline, the city is too obscure in my opinion (I even had to increase the bright to be able to see), and it does not surprise as the original game did. The graphics are not brilliant either; they look like PS3 graphics.

    I do appreciate that you can choose between good and bad karma (I prefer bad; it is easier to be evil hehe). The differences are not huge anyway, but at least there are different endings and some minor varieties in powers. Another aspect I really liked is the fact that the game uses some of the options of the controller: microphone, tactile screen, movement... The game had been launched together with the console if I remember well, so it is normal they wanted to integrate those elements.

    Overall, it is not a bad game whatsoever. However, I also think there are better action games on PS4 now.    … Expand

I finished it in a couple days but they were a really fun couple of days I loved the mechanics the idea of taking other powers it was awesome, but I have two problem with it. It’s short, the death in the game is unsatisfactory and leaves so much to be desired even if the ending was very sweet, and the evil mode.

    Boy, if this game was just the evil mode my score would drop down easy, but the evil route, oh boy.

    -Too easy
    Yes I know evil route is supposed to be easier but that’s the keyword EASIER not so easy I beat the game in literally a Under 5 HOURS

    -story
    Wow, the evil routes story, absolute RUBBISH, nothing changes drastically from the good route other than the ending, a couple of missions change but only a couple and what I really hate is nothing changes towards the end, I thought maybe you’d kill your brother or kill the other characters but no the worst thing that evil delsin does is bang a girl who is obviously in no state to know what she’s doing and kill Betty and assumingly all of the people of the tribe which is only in the ENDING of the evil route.

    Ending- LAUGHABLE, LITERALLY, I LAUGHED

Neon is an extremely versatile power as it can give you a boost, a compact aim and hit, ENDLESS running, pinning down enemies, etc.. And the story is decent albeit the extreme duality of the karma system. Apparently the more logical path for the story would be the hero one because Delsin would never harm that many people. In all actuality, what this game actually lacks is the depth in the world, as the only thing that's left to do is running around in the city killing or helping people after the main storyline has been finished. Enemy AI is not too simplistic and is done quite well. The graphics are top-notch and never decrease in quality. All the powers when executed look amazing. I guess that's the aesthetic of the whole game; it has that refined and gorgeous appeal to it, being simple yet detailed and well presented.

    Good one. I really was surprised by this game. it's so teenage game, with nirvana grunge style, very naive, variate, and interesting to play. The story is quite simple,but fine, the gameplay about 7/10, but the atmosphere and all this heroic Sh*t is absolutely incredible! Power changes are really interesting (the neon one is delicious), graphics also incredible, this lightning,oh man, gameGood one.

    Игра с простым сюжетом на который вы вольны влиять сами, пускай и таким немножко примитивным образом как добро или зло. Проходил эту игру в 2017 году когда ее раздавали по подписке ps plus одна из первых моих игр на консоли. Сказать про игру что-то новое не могу, игра хорошая, к покупке рекомендую но не в самую первую очередь.

Определенно эта игра не заставит вас бежать в магазин за покупой ps4, эта игра для тех кто так или иначе купил уже данную консоль и не знает с чего начать или у кому средства не позволяют с ходу взять новинки. Эта игра за свои 800-1200 рублей отличная покупка… Expand

    InFamous: Second Son é um excelente hacknslash e foi um ótimo jogo para o começo da geração do PS4, entretanto tem mais potencial do que um jogo de início da geração que passa a impressão de poder ter muito mais a se fazer no jogo.

    Infamous Second Son doesn't try to hide the fact that it was clearly meant as a launch title meant to show off the new things a PS4 can do, but that didn't stop it from being a great game.

    A great game with nice characters and many fun things to do.
    The new powers are amazing and beautiful to watch... but lack the consistency of Cole's electric tricks.

    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]
