It’s the year 2016 and its seven years after the events of Infamous 2 , ( spoiler alert ahead ) and following the self sacrifice of Cole MacGrath, the conduits had a glimmer of hope to live life with some degree of normality alongside us normal humans.

Looks fantastic, Neon powers are a lot of fun, Superb voice cast and soundtrack, Morality system offers at least one more playthrough

Gameplay soon becomes repetitive

The graphics are a great advert for the power of the PlayStation 4, but in terms of gameplay and story this hasn’t moved on at all from the previous generation.

Amazing graphics and the core combat is enjoyable and pacy, with a wide range of customisable abilities – even if a lot of them are very similar in function.

Underwritten story where the moral decisions have no weight in terms of both characters and gameplay. Repetitive structure and enemies, as well as boring side quests and boss battles.

Having to review inFAMOUS Second Son has been a difficult process. As one of the first PS4 games to help begin the flow of new games following the post-console-launch drought, as well as one of the first PS4 games ever announced, there has been some anticipation and expectation placed on Sucker...

Incredible audio design and implementation., Stunning visuals and animations., Delsin Rowe., Delsin and Reggie's relationship., Solidarity and meticulous detail of the complete game.

The broader story is very simple., Combat doesn't require much strategy and can seem repetitive towards the end., Details in the city can be overlooked if you only focus on objectives.

The third chapter in the Infamous series. Gain new powers as you adventure through the story as Delsin Rowe. Parkour elements make it easy to move around the city. Make good or evil decisions to drive the story and your abilities. PlayStation 4 exclusive title.

Plenty of game freedom – Graphics bring the world to life – Lots of unique and powerful skills

Some repetitive mission design – Bland story direction
