    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Juego muy entretenido, la movilidad y la capacidad de atraparte con su gameplay es facinante, por otro lado la falencia que tiene para no ponerle un 10 es que la historia del mismo es demasiada corta, quedas con sabor a poco y con algunos agujeros en la trama.… Expand

    Infamous Second Son is a title that, for some inexplicable reason, has been relegated to the shadows of the gaming world. It's a game that I firmly believe deserves a spot in the limelight, and I'm here to tell you why.

    Starting off, the action in Infamous Second Son is nothing short of electric. The combat is fluid, and the powers and abilities that you can harness are immensely satisfying to wield. From fiery explosions to graceful aerial maneuvers, the game offers a thrilling and engaging experience that never lets up.

    The graphics are another high point. Even years after its release, Infamous Second Son continues to impress with its detailed environments and lifelike character models. The vibrant city of Seattle is rendered with meticulous care, and the visual effects tied to the various powers are stunning.

    But where the game truly shines is in its story and, specifically, the relationship between the two main characters, who happen to be brothers. This dynamic is so well-crafted, so believable, and so emotionally resonant that it had me shedding tears at one point — something very few video games have achieved. The story unfolds with careful pacing, and the plot twists are both unexpected and fitting.

    The relationship between the two brothers is not only well-written but beautifully acted as well. The dialogue is realistic, and the emotions conveyed are palpable. The writers and actors succeeded in creating a bond that feels genuine and powerful, drawing the player into the narrative in a deeply personal way.

    Overall, Infamous Second Son is a game that's criminally underrated. It's a well-rounded experience that delivers on all fronts. Whether you're a fan of action-packed gameplay, stunning visuals, or storytelling that touches the heart, this game has something for you.

    In an industry where so many titles get lost in the shuffle, Infamous Second Son stands out as a gem that shouldn't be overlooked. If you haven't had the pleasure of playing it yet, do yourself a favor and dive into this extraordinary adventure. You owe it to yourself to experience it at least once. Trust me; it's a journey you won't regret.    … Expand

    A great third installment to the InFamous series. Solid graphics, fun gameplay, and really enjoyable controls. Definitely a little repetitive (like all the InFamous games are), but a great game overall!

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Infamous Second Son is the first game of the "Infamous"series that I have played and I absolutely loved it! The setting and the story are well made, the characters are good, the gameplay is incredibly satisfying and offers some kind of variety with the multiple powers. I might say I didn't really like how the game ends if you choose the infamous path, too brutal for my own liking, but apart from that, it was a blast from start to end. Got the platinum trophy in just 23 hours!… Expand

    inFAMOUS: Second Son is a blend of great combat, amazing storytelling, and unforgettable characters. It might be the best superhero/villain game I've ever played.

    Lets talk about the combat and parkour. Combat is fluid, and each power has separate traits and weaknesses. Smoke is the most balanced, ranging from moderate hit speed and moderate damage. Neon has faster attack speed but    inFAMOUS: Second Son is a blend of great combat, amazing storytelling, and unforgettable characters. It might be the best superhero/villain game I've ever played.

    Lets talk about the combat and parkour. Combat is fluid, and each power has separate traits and weaknesses. Smoke is the most balanced, ranging from moderate hit speed and moderate damage. Neon has faster attack speed but deals less damage. Video has slower attack speed, but deals more damage, and concrete has slower attack speed but kills standard enemies in one shot. Parkour is also fun, and I find myself jumping from building to building to be incredibly satisfying. However, video and concrete are the only two powers I deem to be useless in parkour, since video has wings that you can fly up walls with, but the can't be upgraded to last as long as you want, and concrete, you can hover off the ground, but you also can't upgrade it to last as long as you want. Which is unfortunate, because concrete is the last power you get, and it should be a good one.

    Well, what about the story and characters? Story is great, characters are likeable, especially Delsin and Reggie, and the main antagonist, Augustine, is understandable, and you can (kind of) get behind why she does what she does. Other character like Fetch and Eugene are great additions too. You play as Delsin throughout the game, and the game seems to adopt this kind of "choose your path" gameplay, which is really cool. But if you chose the evil side, it wouldn't really make much sense. See, the game doesn't give any suggestion that Delsin is the type of guy to kill a bunch of civilians and be fine with it. At the beginning of the game, he seems like a really nice guy, who cares for his people, and will save anyone in trouble. Killing civilians seems out of pocket for a character like Delsin, he doesn't have any backstory that suggest why he would do these things.

    Lastly is the world. Seattle, Washington is a beautiful and vibrant world, and the day-night cycle adds a type of uniqueness to it. There's much to do in the world, but it's not too much to the point where it feels overwhelming. There are several districts you can conquer and clear out, so if you've finished the campaign, you have things to do after the game ends. Enemies are fairly balanced, and none of them feel over-powered (maybe the turrets on Expert difficulty). Boss fights are great, balanced, and fluid, and enemy variety is introduced perfectly. The world is never empty, and civilians allow the world to feel alive.

    In conclusion, inFAMOUS: Second Son is an incredible "choose your path" game. Even though the evil karma side is awkward to play on, and video and concrete feel bad to use for parkour, excellent combat, great characters, and the bright and colorful world of Seattle are what make this game great.    … Expand

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Benim PS4 alma sebebim bu oyundur. Oynanışını ve yetenek ağacını, gelişme hissini çok sevidğim bir oyun. Hikaye biraz ortalama fakat bu oynanışla ne kadar klişe hikaye olsa da 4-5 kere bitirmeme rağmen çok gözüme çarpmıyor bu klişeler.

    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]
