    С технической, визуальной стороны игра хороша. Но сюжет, диалоги, персонажи полный отстой.

    Versatile and fluid combat. Decent exploration and challenges around. This was a decent opening title for the PS4 but not really a hit. It was quite a step-back narrative-wise and the main character was very uninteresting and edgy compared to Cole Macgrath.

    inFamous: Second Son has a great graphics and combat mechanics but many repetitive, It has many Bug but nothing that spoils the gameplay.

    Achei repetitivo, mas o jogo é divertido e visualmente bonito, a historia é nota 6 medíocre porque não surpreende em momento algum e não tem grandes plots, o jogo não é muito memorável mas é divertido

    Feels and looks good, even 6 years after release
    Might be a good game for kids.
    City is small and empty.
    It's more like a flashy game with colourful abilities than a brutal game that it used to be.

    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.

    After all the neon fades, everything just fall flat out boring, its a pain to complete this game, no identity, nothing, its a poorly tech demo.

For example, some reason the main character gains a power in the middle of no where that requires cars in order to jump high into the air.... ? WTF. How does this improve the story or gameplay?

    Not so in this one. Every character feels like they were put there because the formula of a story needed them there. Nobody feels real. Plot twists occur when they need to for the story but nothing seems to have any justification. And there aren't any rules to how the powers work. The game just uses cores from the old games without explanation and you're restricted from using powers at random when it serves the story. It has the depth of fan fiction.

    Such a shame too, because the powers were way cool.    … Expand

    Great graphics and gameplay, however the story is all skin and bone with no meat what so ever. The karma system has also been reduced to bare minimum and only exists for 3 karma missions to unlock karma aligned abilities.

    This game is more like a reboot rather than a sequel given the change in tone which I can only imagine is to appeal to a wider audience.

    DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOUR USED TO CRAP CONSOLE PORTS AND DON'T MIND! (Seach for Infamous Second Son Stuttering, and if you can take that happening throughout the game, then buy it)

    Infamous Second Son is a real pleasure to look at. I mean it is just beautiful. This and Killzone Shadow Fall are the best two looking games on PS4. Killzone Shadow Fall is still the king of graphics though and    DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOUR USED TO CRAP CONSOLE PORTS AND DON'T MIND!

    Infamous Second Son is a real pleasure to look at. I mean it is just beautiful. This and Killzone Shadow Fall are the best two looking games on PS4. Killzone Shadow Fall is still the king of graphics though and it's miles more fluid.

    TECHNICAL PROBLEMS: I do notice a LOT of judder, being that the game isn't capped at 30 FPS, instead it goes from 30-45 from time to time causing a TERRIBLE stutter when running really fast and also moving the camera around really fast. It also has horrid looking texture pop-in, that also causes a stutter in the game. Personally I think it makes the game UNPLAYABLE. But I'm a PC gamer. But for those of you who don't mind gamebreaking stuttering and are used to playing crap console ports and don't mind(I know a lot of you won't see this cause you don't care about this), I'll continue my review like this doesn't exist.

    The gameplay is fun. I think it's so much fun to run around with all these super powered and blast people apart, or save them. And the difficulty on "Normal" is JUST right I think. I heard at the last minute they increased it just a bit. So you don't feel too over powered in the game. But you do have to retreat to gain health every now and then and you will find yourself dying if you aren't really trying your best to retreat and regain health.

    The game is also long enough to keep you engaged for quite a while. I've been playing since Tuesday and it's Thursday today and I am just a little past getting the second power out of the 4 powers you get. I've played about 4 hours per day for 2 days, so I'm 8 hours in and less than half way through. They say the game takes 10-15 hours to complete the story mode. But personally I can see this game taking me about 15 hours for full completion. And then I'll probably still roam around more or complete the "Evil" version of the game.

    Now with such a great job they did creating the city, and Delsin, and his powers, I figured they'd have A LOT more to do in this game, but besides the story, and unlocking the city from DUP, there isn't hardly anything to do that's the least bit fun. It's not remotely close to GTAV as for things to do, you can tell this game only took 2 years to make and not 3-4. Hopefully Watch Dogs has a LOT more to do.

    Graphics 10/10
    Gameplay 7/10
    Storytelling 7/10
    Game Longevity 7/10
    Game Smoothness/Play ability 0/10

    OVERALL: Infamous Second Son SHOULD be a solid 8/10 game, but because of technical issues that have NOTHING to do with my PS4 or the disc(I know because I returned my PS4 and the disk and it still happens), the game is pretty much unplayable, even Sucker Punch admits this problem but says it has to do with the engine and they can't fix it.    … Expand

    Most of what made the original inFamous and its sequel so unique and fun have been completely left out of this installment. What's left is a nice looking, competent action game that offers nothing more than 12 hours of "shooting a bunch of bad guys". A major disappointment in nearly every regard, it's confounding that Sucker Punch would dismantle the franchise in such an epic way. It'sMost of what made the original inFamous and its sequel so unique and fun have been completely left out of this installment. What's left is a nice looking, competent action game that offers nothing more than 12 hours of "shooting a bunch of bad guys". A major disappointment in nearly every regard, it's confounding that Sucker Punch would dismantle the franchise in such an epic way. It's not "more of the same" inFamous, it's far, far, less of something vaguely similar. If you were a fan of the first 2 games, there is very little here to enjoy. I would wager that you're actually going to be heartbroken, much like I was.

    The original InFamous still remains one of my favorite games in the genre. The free-running traversal of a beautifully crafted environment and emphasis on collection made exploring the environments a joy and worthwhile. It could (and should) be argued that the franchise was so much fun not just because of the "super powers" but because exploring the open world was a compelling experience. What Second Son offers is a graphically beautiful rendition of Seattle with absolutely no reason to explore it.

    You won't be climbing up and jumping around buildings in fantastic displays of athleticism looking for treasures and leaping around town. This just isn't that game, that mechanic has been more or less completely omitted. You won't be facing a multitude of exciting and different enemies, there are only two types: Soldiers and drug dealers. Missions are repetitive, laborious and require a great deal of time running away from enemies to recharge instead of facing them head-on. Unlike the first two titles, finding recharge stations is much more difficult and frustrating.

    What's left is a very average action game that offers no appeal other than the scenery which you'll have no reason to explore. Your enjoyment of the game will come down to what you liked about the original titles. If you weren't fond of the locomotion and collection aspects and simply had fun mindlessly shooting enemies with something other then bullets, you may well enjoy Second Son. If you valued the core gameplay mechanics of the first two titles and accompanying artistic direction, prepare for an unrivaled let down in every regard and another 4 year wait in hopes that Sucker Punch can restore some of what made the original such a joy.

    I want to rate the game a 0 as I have no reason to spend time playing it and am, frankly, so very, very sad. However, I want to remain objective and rate the game accordingly. It's technically proficient, the voice acting is very good and the controls are solid. Average in every regard and a major let down for fans of the series.    … Expand

    The good parts:
    - graphics are attractive in terms of appealing colors and details.
    - arcade feel meaning simple to pick up and play
    - the price. It's a bit cheaper than other main titles.

    The disappointing:
    - AI and opponents. Boss battles lacked inspiration and the as you progressed, the opponents merely spammed more shots on you. They equally required merely more hits to defeat. It gets disinteresting.
    - Combat. My gosh, this was the weakest link. Lacked fluidity in linking attacks, didn't require skill, and movement is clumsy!
    - missions were truthfully boring. With the exception of the last power, the entire game had repetitive missions that were a chore to complete. I struggled to get engaged or moved by progression or completing missions which were too formatted like previous ones.
    - side activities lacked purpose. These are for building karma or getting things to upgrade your powers, yet contributed so insignificantly towards it.
    - the "world" won't engage you. Okay I wasn't expecting gta or assassins creed environments. But come on the whole mood and interactivity of the city was so dull! It looked good graphically but it just wasn't interesting to roam, explore, or build a liking towards. Pity.
    - the audio. Voice acting was below average, cheesy, and the sound effects were repetitive
    - the "new" control features. These are executed in a corny way. Ie cellphone rings coming from control or swipe to open cages, or shake control for spray can.
    - story is weak. Many plot holes, generic story, and short of ideas.
    - lack of character. There's nothing enjoyable or likeable about your main character, nor the ones you meet. Hard to find interest here or buy into dialogue.
    - framerate not as smooth as advertised, and graphics have been overrated by media.

    Well honestly I could have given this game a 3 or 4 but I respect the amount of work that went into making this game. I am sympathetic as the game was a good idea in theory and at least had bits of final quality. It's unfortunately overhyped and even if it wasn't hyped, it's average and forgettable for one key reason: it has many aspects (story, open world, combat, karma, skill upgrades, etc) but never does any of those aspects well. It ticks many boxes but just gets a C for each. Disappointed people are praising this.    … Expand

I apologize if this is a spoiler, but the game ends with a boss battle and by the time I finished it (after numerous attempts), I was basically so frustrated that I hated the game.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    As the game opens, we see our hero rebelling like any normal angst filled teenager, making "elaborate" graffiti work on pictures of his loving family. Just don't mind the fact that he is well over twenty and his antics are the definition of childish.

Visually you will    As the game opens, we see our hero rebelling like any normal angst filled teenager, making "elaborate" graffiti work on pictures of his loving family. Just don't mind the fact that he is well over twenty and his antics are the definition of childish.

    The opening of the game says everything you would need to know. It is an under developed child trapped in an adult body. Visually you will be deceived but as you become acquainted you quickly grasp just how underdeveloped and mentally lacking the game truly is.

    The game brings nothing new to the infamous table, the protagonist gets 4 powers each of which contains the same spells: A ranged attack (like a gun), a sprint, a ranged power attack (grenade), and a melee attack combo, and a finishing move that removes all difficulty or thought. The only thing that each individual power does is change the particle effect surrounding that move. I guess they also add an extra grind to the game farming all 5 of your moves 4 times is a much cheaper way to make a game then giving you 20 unique powers... so I gotta give the developers their points for that. Cole brought a lot to the table in the previous games with more abilities in his 1 conduit power. Delsin brings a small fraction to the table with 4 powers, he makes up for this though with his angst and hipster beenie. 1.0

    Graphically the game is definitely the beginning of a next gen, its very polished and runs smoothly but nothing mind blowing, it pulls out the bare minimum it should be with the power it has behind it. Other games have already pushed the graphics and frame rate to much higher calibers then this game dares to. It is a let down as they had so much potential but left it high and dry. 1.0

    The sound work in the game is definitely the best part, it does not disappoint in the slightest, each power gets a unique sound set, the different sounds are integrated beautifully and play simultaneously in a way that makes the world feel more realistic then any previous game could hope to do. The voice work is acceptable with some of the cheesy or cliche writing getting in the way, but over all this is the most inspiring part of the game. Its just too bad they couldn't pick some better songs and give it a story. The sound is good but it has no backbone to stand with. 8.0

    The game starts fairly strong giving you new powers and pushing you along, but forgets major portions of what a game must have. A purpose, the game is so lacking in this point. early in the game the antagonist has the hero trapped and tortures his people. Augustine is a no holds bar villain from the very beginning a cruel woman that tortures innocent villagers to learn of your secret conduit abilities. Yet she does NOTHING with this information. She simply leaves you in your bed, because why not. The game doesn't have just 1 glaring inconsistency, it seems each mission was written by completely different people with nothing but a cliff note to go off of for previous missions and story. By the end of the game there was no way of knowing what the intended story was supposed to be, large chunks of the story seem to be missing completely. Delsin is tasked with doing something to help bring down the DUP but is quickly met with a new mission talking about new characters and developing a new plot line which is left to dry on a clothesline and never returned too. A good 60% of the game has nothing to do with the main story, just a side character wanting help with their problems then you jump back to main story which has progressed without your involvement or knowledge. I would call it a story but was left with jay dropping shock by the blatant disregard to keep anything consistent. 0

    Finally the part everyone cares about. Game play and replay - I finished the game with a playtime of 5:47 minutes. I fully unlocked 4 of the (I wanna say 13 zones but can't be bothered to turn it on... just too disappointed) I left all the other zones at the final step before they are clear (the showdowns). I had a friend come over and just play the story at streamlined speeds. It was incredible how fast he finished a whopping 4 hours and 12 minutes. The game play is lacking entirely there are 4 types of missions 1 that require you kill DUP agents, and the 3 that require nothing but quick filler. As far as replayability goes these missions are it a whopping 4 mission types that you have to do 13 times each. Thats the entire game. THey force some of them on you to prolong the story as you cannot unlock certain story missions until you have killed some DUP forces. So if you want to play wheres waldo in a 20 foot circle with 7 people or spray paint 13 walls with tags, then what are you waiting for this game literally has everything you've ever wanted. There is a set of missions where you listen to audio logs but they are independent and completely pointless.

    In all I'd say wait it out the game is not worth $60 and is not a good start for the PS4's life.    … Expand

    CONS: First off, the man character is corny and lame. He comes off as too giddy and fearless. The character development sucks. The storyline was so incredibly shallow, it was surprising. It was easy to see from a mile away that the Policeman brother will die. The powers were all cookie cutter. Each power had a rapid fire mode, an ammo-based power attack, and a super blast charge-up power. Also, the storyline was predictable and repetitive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not even half of what it was hyped up to be. Other than the graphics (which were impressive), this game is a boring mess that fails to deliver in every way imaginable. For a game that is supposed to be centered around having superpowers, it certainly doesn't make you feel powerful at all. Too often you are surrounded by a horde of enemies that haven't both guns and, for some reason, superpowers (which is stupid, considering that they're supposed to be hunting down anybody with superpowers). I found myself being forced to run away from fights while I wait for my health to regenerate. Seriously? The combat itself feels broken and forces you to play a certain way. Mêlée combat, though available, is almost never an option because you just get shot by more enemies when you attempt it, forcing the game to become a shooter with weak shooter mechanics. If there were at least some kind of targeting system, it might have been more bearable. Additionally, the gameplay is repetitive. Time after time you are forced to go to some D.U.P. controlled area, wipe out the enemies, and blow something up, all while fighting the same boring enemies. The powers which you are given make little sense. Even though it is supposed to be a comic book style game with super powers, that doesn't mean the powers should be something stupid. Video powers? Are you serious with that? There is a power set that lets you drain the power out of TVs and summon creatures from the screen. It makes no sense at all. Finally there is the story. It is poorly written and weak in almost every aspect. I found it to be predictable and full of plot holes. As mentioned previously, the primary antagonist, which is tasked with hunting down conduits/bio-terrorists are themselves people who possess superpowers. This already shows that there is a giant hole in the foundation of the plot. On top of that, the characters are boring, generic, and not memorable in the slightest. The back and forth nature of the relationship between Delsin and Reggie that switches between being Reggie being supportive of Delsin and treating him as a freak because of his abilities makes no sense, and bugged me throughout the entire game. For all that Infamous: Second Son tries to do, it fails in almost every way. Not at all worth buying.… Expand

    Protagonist is a whiny little stereotypical teenager that you can't connect with on any sort of level.
    Side missions are a chore. Choices in this game are a complete joke - 'evil' choices make no sense.
    The worst part is you can't skip the story since it's tied to how the game loads (no blank loading screen just playing the game). To be honest, having to sit through it again - I'd rather just have a loading screen.

    Combat can be a bit interesting, but definitely not a game seller - especially when it's so un-challenging.

    The 'Red Faction: Guerrilla' progression in the game is dated and feels forced on you.

    The gimmicky graffiti sections just seem to add to your distaste with Delsin. I bet no one thought it was a good idea except for that executive producer that read in some 90s magazine that kids like graffiti. On that note - I'm surprised this game doesn't have skateboards.

    Honestly, if you get this game for free with your console - then who cares right?

    This game is just complete and utter rubbish.

    The main character is just a cliché typical "bad boy". And when the girl came into the story I was like "oh god this isn't going to end well" The story is very badly made. I felt nothing for any character, and there was a real lack of superpowers in this game. Overall, it's just bad bad bad but I give it 2 points for it's use of the controller sound thing and the alright visuals.    … Expand

    This game was hyped quite significantly so I did expect more. The graphics are certainly not next gen, but some of the fire effects are cool. Soundtrack is okay but the reason for my low score here has to be the story. I won't reveal any spoilers but I found unlike Infamous 2, I simply couldn't relate to Delsin. Unlikeable to the max.

    Better graphics and thats it.The gameplay is very repetative and the story is uninteresting. I really see no reason for multiple playthroughs. Expected much more from this game. Now its going back to gamestop.

    A shallow and unambitious tech demo, of the sort that launch window games are known for. The action is pretty good but it’s instantly repetitive to the point of inanity. The story wasn't very good either. Honestly, a single player (only) game that only has a 5 - 8 hour campaign is not getting a high score out of me.

    It's starts out as a fun, interesting experience. But becomes highly repetitive and the game centers around copy and paste abilities and tiresome button mashing. Could have been better, if not for it's uncorrelated story and a lifeless city.

    Very repetitive. You are not fully in control of your character with jittery gameplay yet are expected to kill hundreds of DUP agents(guys in breaking bad style chemical suits). After 2 hours of repetitive gameplay I was thoroughly annoyed.

    I played it for 30 minutes and then I deleted it.So boring. I heard that now with the release on PS4 is better and I wonder how bad game it was without the improvements?
    Anyway for the records the game came to my library because i am a psn plus member and it was a free game. Lucky me, i did not pay it.

    I was honestly expecting a lot, since I was a fan of the first two chapter of inFamous. But really, this version doesn't come close to the McGrath storyline, gameplay, and overall feeling of grandeur. For me, this was a experimental project from SuckerPunch to test the PS4 graphics, which are amazing at most points except when sometimes it is really dark and even hard to distinguish.I was honestly expecting a lot, since I was a fan of the first two chapter of inFamous.

    The gameplay is boring. Through the game you end up gaining really boring powers and the actions are only slightly different between the powers so it ends up being really repetitive. So instead of having one super cool power like lighting and improving it, you end up with different boring powers which do the same basically. The boss fights are embarrassingly bad. The game is frustrating to play, since the firing powers are almost the only way to kill the NPCs (melee is super bad). The storyline is short and zero intriguing. I am very disappointed of the game and should not be included on the inFamous series.    … Expand

    Infamous: Second Son is not a very good game. The story is unoriginal, and the characters are boring and dry. Also, I beat the game in under 6 hours, and that's not a good thing. The graphics are great, and the map is semi-large, but the gameplay is boring and gets old very quick. I don' t recommend second son unless you're desperate for something to play.

    Nothing new to see here ....... same old gameplay mechanics, very repetitive rinse and repeat over and over with the side missions, once you have done a few you won't bother with the rest. Graphics are ok nothing like what the hyped up to be though. Save yourself the money and wait for it to hit the bargain bin.

    Writing so bad it promotes exactly what Nate Fox hated.
    Something big about the game is how you "free" zones, right? Well, stop to think about it. The DUP is like a mega police for conduits, and they bring out security. They got loads of outposts to stop people and take them, but it mostly works. In Infamous 1 the game basically starts with a gang gunning people and you have to stop them.

There aren't really gangs. Sure, there are the dealers and those mafia guys, but there isn't really anyone like the gangs in Infamous 1, or the ice conduits in Infamous 2. The city is sealed tight, sure, but it is probably safer than real Seattle. Give it a year and after "freeing" a zone I bet there are double the number of dealers and mafias. The normal policeman in-game are as tough as wet cardboard.
    If the player chooses to be good . . . He is doing good. If Delsin could be a part of the DUP everyone would love them and be more cooperative. They would just need to be more nice to people and people would kiss the ground where they walk for healing sick people and crushing crime.
    And, if the player chooses to act evil, it just shows WHY the DUP was there to begin with - showing that they should have been even tougher. It shows why people should support the DUP and enlist to to stop those mass murder loonies.
    Graphics are nice, music is Ok, combat is nice, but the story is so dumb and bad written that the game makes me feel like fighting WITH the DUP than AGAINST the DUP. Also, **** Reggie. He is a ****    … Expand

    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]
