    Juego muy divertido, los poderes son una pasada, la sensación de libertad es espectacular, se queda algo corto en duración y el modo online le hubiera dado el toque final.

    Отличный эксклюзив от Сони! Для меня эта игра хуже предшественника inFAMOUS 2,но лучше чем First Light и 1 части. Главный герой после серьёзного Коула Макграта был отличной идеей разработчиков,и всё его окружение также Подстроено под современные реалии. Я рекомендую эту игруОтличный эксклюзив от Сони!

    Not bad. Relatively short game. You finish it right in time, before it really gets boring and start pretending be a second job. Mechanics are fun, and interesting to learn, Seattle looks similar to real one.

    Great action with free open world to explore. However the story may be mediocre.

    This game is great, game play was fun, the story, while simple, was also good enough. This game was just fun to play and explore, I liked the open worldliness of this game, even if it took a while to get from one place to another. One complaint I have with this game is that sometimes, I feel like they're way too many enemies for no reason, this makes the game quite frustrating at times,This game is great, game play was fun, the story, while simple, was also good enough.

    El juego es bueno, ideal para pasar el rato.
    +Gráficos que a día de hoy se siguen viendo muy bien, sobretodo los efectos de particulas.
    +interesante sistema de karma.
    +poderes muy vistosos y divertidos.
    +Modo Foto muy completo

    -Se vuelve repetitivo pasando la mitad del juego.
    -La historia es muy regular
    -personajes poco carismaticos

    Infamous: SS was released at a start of PS4 life cycle, but suddenly became on of the best exclusives on it. I really appreciate open world in here.

Yeah, maybe combat system here not a too complex, or too deep, but it have enough mechanics to not became boring by the end of a game

    Storyline simple, antagonist shows herself in very begging of the game, and all of time main character tries to beat up her ass, make some friends on the way. Really cool that Infamous have a representation of indigenous people in modern time, that not a frequent for videogames    … Expand

    Just a great game overall and great graphics still to this day with cool power effects like the neon colors. It doesnt do anything amazing or special but good average open world game with decent story and cool concept with powers and looks graphically great and overall it is another open world that is a better one and is unique in its own way

    inFamous: Second Son is a powerful game full of action and thrilling moments. The interesting story is placed in dystopian open world Seattle and discusses subjects like surveillance, police brutality and diversity. The controls and graphics are great and the gameplay is stunning. Sadly this game is way too short and simple, but you can enjoy many side quests and a great soundtrack.

    Theres a lot to like here but I still preferred the original Infamous to this.I will say that Delsin is pretty likable for a hero and his powers are fun to mess around with but This game almost felt more like a tech demo for the PS4 than an actual game. Its surprisingly short only about half as long as the original game was. But for what it is, its a pleasant fun time.

    Strong ps4 exclusive. Gameplay is very pleasing and basically drugs you with new experience of infamous games. Story is very intresting but some missions may be a little difficult for Sunday players.

    Интересная супергеройская игра, персонажи все хорошо прописаны, у каждого есть своя мотивация совершать те или иные поступки, выбор светлой и тёмной стороны - интересное решение, было любопытно наблюдать.

    Infamous is a series I’ve always wanted to get into but was never able to due to me not owning a PS3. One day I’ll play the first 2, but I got to experience Second Son and I loved it.

The visuals hold up amazingly well for a close-to-launch title on the PS4 but it also shows it’s age with the gimmicky controls like having to use the touch pad to absorb powers among other things like motion controls. They never really bothered me that much, but it’s still something that I could’ve went without. The story is pretty good too, I played it safe by being a Hero but I’d love to do a Evil playthrough someday since villains always get the coolest powers. It kinda bugged me how you only had 3 powers to play with for the whole game and only get the 4th after the final boss, it’s a pretty OP ability though so it made the post game a cakewalk. This game isn’t afraid to kick your teeth in at times though, especially at the beginning I was struggling a lot. But if you play smart, you’ll be rewarded, and that’s my favorite kind of difficulty. One that dances on the line of don’t be stupid and you won’t die stupid deaths. Overall, it’s a great exclusive to experience.… Expand

    This game took me completely by surprise. I thought it was fantastic. It reminded me of Control, one of my favorite games of all time. I enjoyed all of the mechanics like switching between elements. Neon was unquestionably a standout.

    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]
