+ Fantastic graphics; + Great character chemistry; + Unique powers; + Karma matters; + Dual Shock 4 integration

Shifted from its PlayStation 4 launch line-up spot at the last minute, Infamous: Second Son is finally here. Can it boost the Infamous series beyond "decent" and into "great"?

Extremely crisp, attractive visuals; Excellent face capture and voice acting; Varied, heavy-hitting combat; A very polished offering in almost all respects

Breathtaking visuals and colors that perfectly transports you into Seattle; fun and familiar gameplay that all inFAMOUS fans will enjoy

Even though the game is quite simple to pick up and learn; so much of the gameplay will only resonate with fans of the series
