Despite all of that fear and hatred, InFamous: Second Son is still a game about finding freedom by figuring out who you are. The rapid expansion of Delsin’s powers is constantly engaging, and there’s no reason to believe there couldn’t be more released later on as downloadable content.

inFAMOUS: Second Son deserves all the praise it gets, even though it's been there-done that, it's not been done as well as this before!
