THE VERDICT

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 - Great.

82 Metascore

Disappointing, PS4 still has no killer app. Nor does XBOX ONE.

SONY didn't give reviewers enough money.

Metascores are so overrated, Seriously

8.7 is a great score for a game. I have no doubt that this game will be and is awesome.

The thing that bothers me is that IF2 and Second Son are tremendously better than the original Infamous yet it got a higher score.

However, the InFAMOUS series has always been in the 80's range on metacritic so fans of the series still know they will love it.

Sounds about right. Will get this game once I get the money.

Thank god the PS4 is finally getting a huge exclusive game coming out. I feel bad for the PS4 owners who bought the system at launch, and have been playing nothing but launch and indie games. Not that there is anything wrong with that, though.

Thank You SP.

Based Sony

About 3-4 hours in, a tad bit repetitive, but the multiple powers help with that, gorgeous looking game, the character models and lighting are ASTOUNDING! When you get the neon powers, WOW, fricking amazing.

So far it's an 8/10 game from me.

Took this screenshot last night. You really need to see it with your own eyes.

It doesn't really look next gen

The video won't embed thus I have to post the link.

Can see.

So what's the score now Stoney?

Whoop! Just completed that bitch on expert.   Went the goody two shoes route, I always do first, but man, really enjoyable, repetitive side missions, they're basically all the same in each district of the city, I only did them to get blast shards (upgrade thingys) and to open up fast travel, but all four powers are awesome to play around with, particularly neon (I won't spoil the other two).

Also, the Paper Trail DLC is fantastic, on part 3 now, it's basically an investigatory side mission, so far three parts are out, releasing every week, were you play in-game, duh, and play on your laptop/computer etc, you have to decipher the clues you find, they even have fake websites you visit (when I say fake websites, example, you could find a business card in a wallet, and on that wallet in small print might be website) It's really fucking cool. And hard as fuck, figuring out some the clues that is!

8 out of 10 from me.

Real life "superhero" Phoenix Jones! Nice little touch from Sucker Punch.

lol I love those little touches Sucker Punch adds. I remember the movie theater in InFAMOUS 2 with the funny gaming titles of recent.

Can't wait to get this game.
