Overall a good game. excellent graphics, worth the money. Can feel a bit repetitive in the middle layers of the game, and I didn't have much incentive to go back and play through even though I only played the Hero. I actually liked the story and found D to be a pretty good character. Would definitely recommend for a fun, light romp through the streets of Seattle!

This is the PS4 game I've been waiting for since the system was announced. While I liked the first two InFamous games well enough on PS3, I always felt the controls were stiff, Cole McGrath (the main character) was annoying and I wasn't attached to the story.
InFamous: Second Son has an interesting new main character in Delsin Rowe, and the new smoke and neon powers allow for fluid travel around Seattle. (Plus the other couple of powers, which I won't spoil here.) The game is super pretty, too.
There is also free, episodic DLC (downloadable content) that is added automatically. It's called Infamous Paper Trail, and causes you to find items in-game and study clues online to then connect back to the game. It's early on yet, but the story is really cool.
The only pitfall is that the karma system is a little bit dated...It touts "choice," but the only real choice you have is whether to play the game as a "good" guy or a "bad" guy. That designation does fundamentally change how you approach fights, and also impacts character dynamics, but it's basically a change in mentality for the entire game — there is no gray area.

I've been playing video games over 10 years now and this is the first game that ever took me in on this level. The graphics, controls, story line and everything are top notch. The side missions and the ability to replay make this game a great value!

I went into this game thinking that it was going to be mediocre. I was wrong. It didn't take long for this game to make it to my PS4 Top 5 list.
The characters are great, the controls are very responsive, the powers are ridiculously fun to us, and I loved the story. Don't skip this game.

This is overall a really fun and great game. It's open world type game and the controls feel great. It's a Playstation exclusive and one of the games I was waiting for to play on the ps4.
It's basically a superhero ( or villain if you choose that route) game. as you progress you get access to different power sets and switch between them throughout the game. Also you don't have to play Infamous 1 or 2 to figure out what is going on since this is a new story with a different character
Again it's open world so you can pretty much do what you want. The game takes place in Seattle WA since I don't live there I can't speak to the authenticity of the map layout. Graphics are awesome it really looks like a next gen game.
Check out video game reviews for Infamous Second Son and you will see this is definitely worth your time and money

The game has good graphics and is an open platform game. Allowing you to run around even after you beat the game. The missions are very similar and you fight many of the same guys over and over, but it allows you to make decisions based on karma. You can chose to be a bad guy who fights the citizens or a hero who fights for them.

It's an amazing game! I can't put this game down! The storyline is intense and serious compared to the last two. The additional powers are fun and give the game more diversity. The music and voice acting are great and graphics are certainly next gen. Overall, this is a must buy for all PS4 owners.

The graphics and special effects in this game are over the top and extremely fun. The good vs bad choices in the story are a little simplistic compared to how real the rest of the game-world is, but your choices affect your powers in wonderful ways. Be an evil person and your powers are more and more destructive. Be a good person and your powers are more controllable allowing you to prevent innocent casualties.

Great continuation of the Infamous story. A beautiful looking game but has the great story line and solid game play to go along with it. It is nice that the game has a different feel depending on your choice to be good or bad. Well worth the wait and a must play!
