The first one has a bit of a city feel to it, this area got boring pretty quick because a lot of the places kinda blended into each other and got boring pretty quick. The map is divided into 2/3 different area’s and they are very pleasing to look at, every district has its own theme. The visuals of this game are still great, after 4 years they still hold up really well when you compare them to games that come out now. Usually, when I have to play a game a second time for the platinum trophy I skip things that are not needed and the cutscenes, but in this game, it was fun to see the other cutscenes. The missions that are associated with those choices differ a lot and are fun to do, this made my second playthrough a lot more fun as well because I didn’t feel like I had to play the same game again. There is also the good against evil things that puts the “in” in infamous if you want it to. The sad thing about this power is, is that you get it right at the end after you have completed the game and if you did all the side content before this like me the power is 100% useless because there is nothing left. The final power gets unlocked in the final boss battle, using it during that battle is so fun and feels amazing. This power is fun to use at those moments because it looks like most of the way was pre-planned while making the game. Later on, in the game you also get a video game power, this one was not used much for me in both playthroughs, there are not many places to power up this power so I only got to use them when the game wanted me to. But when you get to the open-world part it gets a lot better with the introduction of things. The only reason it’s not terrible the first time playing through is because you get some funny interactions between Delsin and his brother and some extra story. Either choice is fine and fun to do.Īfter doing this there is another long and slow part where you slowly get some powers and get to the city, it’s just another part that got dragged out way too long. The game has some long cut-scenes to develop some of the characters and to develop an emotional connection to the characters and why they do what they do, or if you go the evil route of the game to be a total ass to the side characters and watch the world burn…. I gotta be honest, the start of the game is rather slow and kinda dragged out a bit until you get to the actual open world part of the game. When you first get introduced into the game they make you practice a bit with the world traversal and the motion controls that the game used for some side content. Having played the game about 5 years ago when it first got released I had to go back to see if it’s still as good as I remember it being and if it stills hold up to other games later in this console generation, and yes, it does hold up perfectly. This game kinda feels like a soft reboot to the franchise giving the player more freedom with the power choices and ways to play the game. Infamous Second Son is the 3rd and at the moment last game Sucker Punch Productions have released under the Infamous brand.
