Neon is easily the standout power in the game. One of the first powers that Delsin will gain is the Smoke Dash in which he shatters into several particles of ash before reforming again. Using a unique combination of Smoke and Neon, Delsin can wreck havoc on his enemies. The selling point of Second Son are Delsin’s powers. Several missions reminded me of those from the previous two games and it's kind of disappointing that Sucker Punch couldn't up the ante with Second Son." "Unfortunately, the mission structure is fairly archetypal. Think of them as neat little side-quests that come off as more intriguing than those found in the previous games. You can waste a lot of time in these extra activities but they’re more of a personal distraction rather than adding anything new to the gameplay. These include busting drug rackets, taking out the D.U.P.’s scanning stations and jammers, and finding collectibles like audio logs. The map is divided into several districts that the player can free by wiping out the D.U.P. The map size is comparatively bigger than in previous games and the world gives the player several opportunities to create mayhem. Fortunately, it isn’t where the majority if your time will be invested.Įven if you’re not overtly familiar with Seattle in the great yet quiet state of Washington, several landmarks like the Elephant Super Car Wash, the Space Needle and Seattle Center Monorail have been accurately depicted in Second Son. The story telling is shallow and is by far the weakest point of Second Son. Which is probably a good thing, because though we won’t reveal story of Second Son, you shouldn’t expect the plot to receive any awards in the near future. The journey of experimentation and acceptance, along with Delsin’s growth, is as integral to the experience as the main narrative. As such, the beginning of Second Son is pretty similar to the original inFamous wherein the main character is initially in a state of shock on receiving these unbelievable powers. Just like previous games, there is no depiction of how Delsin is a Conduit and different from normal human beings. Then, under certain circumstances, Delsin acquires a power from a Conduit. This puts him on odd terms with his brother, Reggie, who is a police officer. Set seven years after inFamous 2, Delsin Rowe is your typical graffiti artist revolting against the D.U.P, a government organization controlling Seattle. "The map size is comparatively bigger than in previous games and the world gives the player several opportunities to create mayhem." Appropriately voiced by Troy Baker, Delsin breathes new life into the series and imparts a real sense of adventure and character into the experience. This time around, Second Son features a new hero, the reckless, rogue-like, free runner Delsin Rowe. He seemed too serious for his own good and lacked the spark that a super hero should possess. For some reason, I was not able to connect with this character. The first two entries in the franchise featured the electro-bore-man, Cole McGrath. Fortunately, the game lives up to the hype and manages to look damn good while doing so. With the PlayStation 4 lacking quality next-gen exclusives, Sucker Punch Productions faces a momentous task in making sure it delivers with Second Son. As the first AAA open world PlayStation 4 title, inFamous: Second Son has a lot riding on its shoulders.
