Gameplay soon becomes repetitive

Is this the game that PS4 owners have been crying out for? Possibly. This loose sequel to inFamous 2 , developed by Sucker Punch Productions and exclusive to Sony's next-gen console, is a graphical tour de force that makes the most of the processing power on offer, painting a gorgeous, spookily-lit...
