Just saw that I never looked this game as being on the backlog. Huh. Well I finally finished it after a few years of putting a bit of time into here and there. I enjoyed aspects of the game while also disliking a few other aspects. Namely, I tend to play most games on Easy for story purposes and time concern. This game definitely did not feel easy in places and I often got frustrated with how often I died. I also had a problem with how the game handled lighting. I imagine this was to showcase the power of the PS4 at the time but it made some areas impossible to see. Adjusting the way the world looked as you ran from a well-lit area into a darkened one in the middle of a fire fight made things near impossible to see at times.
Anyway, I'm happy to be done with it though a quick look at the trophy list tells me it might be worth dipping back in and nabbing some of the completion-based trophies. I doubt I will go for an evil run though.

Fun for a casual romp but the story could use some polish. The core combat is a miss so far - it could be just that I'm used to more modern options but enemies so far are either "stand still and shoot at you" or "obnoxiously powerful damage sponges who jump around until they're suddenly dead".

So far it seems like this one has just the right amount of content to keep me engaged without overwhelming me, which is nice.

Infamous: Second Son is a must play PlayStation exclusive! The story is really interesting, especially coming from someone that has not played Infamous or Infamous 2. The side missions are a tad repetitive but the superpowers definitely make the tediousness easier to handle. 4/5

Just finished playing inFamous: Second Son. Had a lot of fun but it could've been a lot better. The powers were relatively limited and they weren't that awe-inspiring compared to similar games such as Prototype. I would pick Second Son over Prototype any day of the week but Prototype's powers were just so much cooler. The camera and the controls …
Read moreJust finished playing inFamous: Second Son. Had a lot of fun but it could've been a lot better. The powers were relatively limited and they weren't that awe-inspiring compared to similar games such as Prototype. I would pick Second Son over Prototype any day of the week but Prototype's powers were just so much cooler. The camera and the controls were a bit clumsy which is not uncommon with the games of the genre, but it gets annoying at times, especially in chase scenes (and there were too many of them in the game). The voice acting was top-notch and the dialogs were light-hearted and funny, but the story was just too cliché, and it didn't even make any sense at times. The level design of the game was a bit flawed, too. For example, the main character can't swim, and there is this one mission where you fall into water for every incorrect jump (that happens too many times because of the controls). Overall, it was a good game, I enjoyed it, but I can't help thinking it could've been a lot better game with a little more effort.
