inFamous: Second Son Reviews
There is no question to me that inFamous: Second Son is the best game in its franchise... unfortunately the game is held back by the same problems which have always held inFamous back.
Infamous: Second Son is a fun, funny, and positively gorgeous game. The actual gameplay could have benefited from a bit more variety, but the game does the job well enough to be an obvious purchase for anyone with a PS4.
Infamous: Second Son is a great-looking game that definitely takes advantage of the PS4's new power and abilities. Unfortunately, its combat needs a bit of tweaking and the boss battles need shortening. Even so, you'll go through quite a lot of great moments in the new title from Sucker Punch.
Second Son is a worthy entry in the inFamous Series. More importantly, Sucker Punch now have an interesting protagonist in Delsin Rowe.
Even though Sucker Punch still hasn't evolved the moral narrative of the Infamous series, Second Son is thoroughly enjoyable game. The abilities are awe-inspiring, the combat is easy to understand and master, but most of all, it's fun to play. Whether you choose to enjoy Infamous: Second Son as the hero or the villain, Sucker Punch once again shows just how great it is at developing exciting superhero adventures. We can only hope that next time around, we actually feel the weight of our decisions, and are compelled to choose by more than carrots at the ends of ropes.
Infamous: Second Son builds on the best of the previous games in the series, even while mired in repetition.
Second Son's sky-high production values do most of the heavy lifting, but beneath the flash are solid systems and a well-acted story that's easy to recommend to franchise fans and newcomers alike.
I'm glad I had my PlayStation in time, because inFamous: Second Son might be the first platform exclusive to make the system worth buying.
Infamous: Second Son isn't going to revolutionize how you play open world games, but just because it doesn't bring many new ideas to the table doesn't mean that it isn't a blast to play
Infamous is a good game. I don't know about great, but "good" is enough to be the best in the series, and the best exclusive PS4 has to offer right now. With 100% completion and new missions to come there are plenty of worthwhile hours to be spent with the game, and it's definitely worth picking up if you're a fan of the series or the genre. The powers are innovative and a lot of fun, I just wish there was a bit more to do with them, and a more compelling story that perhaps took itself just a little more seriously.
Second Son is more of the Infamous you already know
For the third time, Sucker Punch has crafted a game that is worth playing through twice
I've only played through the good karma story of Delsin, but I'm definitely replaying Second Son again on the evil side to see how different the evil powers affect gameplay. As an added bonus, I won't have to worry about accidentally killing civilians to negatively impact my karma and I can attack all protesters and street musicians with zero guilt. And I'll get to dive back into those side quests once again to clear out the DUP out of every district. Forget working on my backlog this next month or so; I'm going to soak in as much inFAMOUS as I can.
Second Son is a departure in tone for the Infamous series, but its superpowered action lives up to expectations.
inFamous: Second Son is a blast. It shoots from the hip and revels in its spontaneous, visceral display of power vs. power.
InFamous: Second Son is visually stunning with rocking dynamic music to boot, but with its repetitive side-tasks, the finely crafted Seattle streets feel a bit lacking in things to do. Nevertheless, the game's characters and core story arc holds strong. The varied and eccentric powers give you a lot to experiment with, and you truly feel like a super-hero with the city at your fingertips.
All we know is that from Gameplay to Graphics, inFamous: Second Son is simply outstanding. The only thing for the series to improve on would be a little better writing for it’s next entry, and Sucker Punch are more than capable.
InFAMOUS: Second Son is both flashy and brilliant. Delsin Rowe can be either hero or villain depending on how you play him. This game is one of my favorite next-gen titles and the gameplay speaks for itself, as well as the awards it has acquired. Sucker Punch Productions has created a game that will staple the PlayStation 4 as an amazing console for years to come.
Sucker Punch has struck gold once again with Second Son, putting the PlayStation 4's power to good use and providing gamers with a rich, satisfying experience. Slow start and samey missions aside, the spectacle of the main character's arsenal alone is reason enough for new PS4 owners to put this at the top of their shopping list.
nfamous has clearly been taking lessons from that surprise super-hero game of 2013, Saints Row 4.
