'A little over a week ago, some of the writers here at HSR got together and tried something new. Meeting up via a Google Hangout, we discussed our picks for the best games of 2014 so far. Mine was Infamous Second Son, the newest in Sucker Punch Studios’ Infamous series.
I’ve had quite the experience with Second Son. This game was THE reason I bought a PS4. For weeks it was the only thing I’d play on my shiny new system, and because of that I’ve beaten it four times now. I’ve played my fair share, and admittedly enjoyed much of the experience.
But it didn’t deserve my vote for GOTY, and that’s because at the end of the day Second Son was a big let-down. For weeks I flip-flopped between opinions on this subject, but after replaying the Infamous series in its entirety I’ve made up my mind. I’ve finally found the right words to explain why Infamous Second Son left me disappointed.'
inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?
100%, locked 60fps and still look great all these years later, same with the expansion, definitely worth a look if people haven't played it yet, not the best games ever made but a good experience, hopefully a new infamous gets released
Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.
Still remember getting hyped about this game nearing release. Funny because I never even got a PS4. Jumped from PS3 to PC so I never played it ahahaha
Its a good game. But thats it. Congratulations you made the best choice. I dream to have a great PC one day.
Graphically It's a absolutely stunning game that still holds up today.
Didn't have all that much depth to it forcing you to play though twice for a platinum trophy a good and bad run it was a little disappointing how similar those were Delsin would be like I'm not doing that for you in a cutscene but the cutscene would play out and force you to do it anyway just as you would of in a good run
I did like the story however it got a lot of complaints back in the day people hated playing as Delsin instead of cole despite Coles story being wrapped up.
Overall though the map wasn't overly saturated with useless points of interest there was some collectibles and things to find but nothing compared to a Ubisoft game.
I think it was a good game if a little hollow I've played it through around 4 times now since it's so short.
Also it's DLC was great a full story expansion
GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS4 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."
I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.
I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.
There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
GB: "There's just something special about the games that could be, and this feature gushes about 15 games that we would love to see on the PS5."
Ah, whatever. Keep that opinion to yourself. It left me elated and excited for another entry.
Leaves room for improvement but its a good fun game.
Infamous Second Son is a mediocre game with good graphics and good gameplay ....worst infamous series
Gorgeous game with super-repetitive side missions. The neon power should have been given last, since it's the most useful of the 4.
The only thing lacking in Infamous second son is the game duration. Story should've been longer. Awesome game tho.
