"It doesn’t stray off the series’ beaten path too much, but there are enhancements in terms of gameplay and some stunning effects put to good use to create the PS4′s most fun and best looking game yet...While the narrative might not have the same impact as previous games, it’s somewhat more of a down-to-earth tale of an ordinary man with extraordinary powers, and that’s an exciting new direction for the series to take." ...

"At times, Infamous Second Son delivers great fun with its combat mechanics, yet a repetitive formula, combined with some hiccups and balancing issues, ultimately can't be ignored. It's an entertaining and visually beautiful piece of software, but it could've been much more." ... Read full review

"Second Son is better than the first two games: it's faster and much more satisfying. It's just a shame that Sucker Punch has not been able to make it the best of the genre due to a few slips and imprecise behaviors." ... Read full review

"Second Son looks fantastic and from a technical perspective, it’s a pretty impressive feat especially given that the game is out less than six months from the release of the Playstation 4. Unfortunately the gameplay isn’t up to par with the light show. Like the neon that Delsin channels, it’s all light and no heat." ... Read full review

First of all, thank you Sucker Punch for taking a chance and making an exclusive for PS4. You guys did a hell of job. This game is solid,First of all, thank you Sucker Punch for taking a chance and making an exclusive for PS4. You guys did a hell of job. This game is solid, smooth, no frame rate drops. The abilities are varied and the story is somewhat entertaining. The visuals are just stunning including the lighting effects from the neon and fire abilities. I've played two play-throughs (good and bad). The second play-through was tough to finish because the game loses it's appeal once you have beat it the first time. There is really nothing to do after you beat the game if you do everything as you go.

Pros
- Abilities are varied
- Decent story
- Visuals
- Game runs smooth

Cons
- No lasting appeal once you finish the game

If you are considering getting it, just get it. It is a GREAT game even if the lasting appeal is not there. If you are skeptical, just wait for a price drop or rent it.

Graphic and the open world part of the game are it's strongest parts. One of the best looking games on tne PS4. Seattle looks amazing and grim at time. The sun and light effects are stunning. Game is a great looker.
Story isn't anything new but it's good enough. I liked the more goofy stuf that the first infamous did. Second son is more serious. The moral/karma aspect of the game is ok. Would like some more choice or choicr that makes more impact.
Combat is fast and responsive with a good mix of powers and upgrades. As always you have karma specific powers and appearance like in previous infamous games. There could have been a little more powers for my taste. Fights are interesting and bull rushing isn't the best way.
Overall inFamous:Second Son is a good game with stunning graphics, responsive combat and a good story. If you liked the earlier games it's a 8 out of 10. If you're new to the series pick it up and try ;)

This is the first Infamous game I've played and it is a great introduction to the series. it has all the things I love in action-adventureThis is the first Infamous game I've played and it is a great introduction to the series. it has all the things I love in action-adventure games but it's lacking a lot in the story telling department and the karma points on both sides can be quickly maxed out as well as the side missions but what it is really lacking is that Next-Gen feel to it that makes it seem like more than just a good PS3 games with above average graphics.
