Another superpower game. Published by Sony Computer Entertainment and developed by Sucker Punch Productions. Infamous Second Son is an open world, super power,sand box game. The story follows the path of good or destruction created by the main protagonist Delsin with what you would call help from his older brother Reggie.
Overall it's a nice idea for a game having a bunch of super powered people running around and you consume their powers, it's not even nice is great but the only problem is every single 'different' set of powers is the same, so from beginning to end you're using the equivalent of the first powers thats just re textured. I feel like if the extra effort was put in to making the powers the game would've done much better.
Second Son is one of the first featured 'next-gen' games so what could you expect except for a really, really beautiful looking environment which doesn't toll too much on your system, unless you are using quite a below the market machine. Apart from that the character design is to standard and the voice-acting stays in sync most of the time, except for a few slight hiccups.
Looking at the missions and side quests in the game it gets a bit repetitive but moving back to my point earlier, I believe if the powers system was worked on for a while longer there would be much more to do with both the combat system and mechanics. Which would probably in turn make playing through the game less of a grind and more of a do these things in a unique manner and be rewarded with more cool, unique things to do sort of game.
To conclude the games beautiful, has a nice story twist at the end but is lacking because of trying to publish the game on the release date instead of making a really quality piece of material. Maybe would've been in the top ten open world games if it did? Who knows?
