Reviews
- Gameinformer Gameinformer"I like the way that Infamous Second Son splinters off from the first two entries in the series. Delsin’s conduit ability creates uncertainty in the gameplay mechanics, and the choices he makes apply similar levels of ambiguity to the narrative arc. I never really grasped what was coming next from this tale, outside of knowing that the open world activities and encounters would be repeated ad nauseam." 8.5/10 ~Gameinformer
- IGN IGN"Open-world superhero action games are about freedom and empowerment, and in these regards, Second Son is really impressive. Seattle is a big, beautiful playground for you to stomp around in with a set of devilishly fun and powerful toys at your disposal. It plays great, and it looks even better, but its advancements also beg it to be held to a higher standard, one that its overall story and morality systems struggle to reach." 8.7/10 ~IGN
- Pluggedin Pluggedin"Even when you pick "good," however, there's still quite a bit of bad. Military enemies and powered-up foes are constantly blazing away with everything from laser-sighted sniper rifles to RPGs and heavy artillery to fire- and energy-blasts. Buildings are routinely destroyed and random citizens are often killed. Delsin can shoot missiles from his hands, materialize a large neon-bolt sword, turn chains into smoky whips and blast out automatic weapon-like rapid-fire destruction. (There's little gore, but splashes of blood accompany some injuries, and the action-violence is quite intense in the way it's rendered.) There's quite a bit of messy dialogue to contend with, too. God's and Jesus' names are often abused, along with frequent uses of the s-word, "a‑‑," "d‑‑n" and "h‑‑‑." We hear discussions ranging from a junkie's memories of using illegal drugs on the street to admonitions for a nerdy guy to go out and "get laid." I guess that means I should end this review with a reminder that it's not just the good or bad version of Delsin that gamers need to choose, but also what kinds of games they pick to begin with." ~Pluggedin
