infamous second son is an open-world adventure game released exclusively for PlayStation 4. Developed by long-time Sony exclusive Sucker Punch Productions studio, second sound It’s the third game of the Infamous Serie. The first two games focused on Cole MacGrath, a superpowered human named Conduit who had the ability to wield electricity as a weapon. If you played Cole as a hero (which second sound suppose you did), the climax of infamous 2 it culminated with MacGrath sacrificing himself, giving his life for the greater good. Seven years after those fateful events, infamous second son features new protagonist Delsin Rowe, along with all new power sets, and a Seattle that is under siege by a government agency called the Department of Unified Protection, or DUP, an agency charged with policing the Conduits in an effort to protect the rest of The humanity.

Having essentially established martial law in the city of Seattle, the DUP’s influence can be seen everywhere, from the unmanned drones and numerous cameras monitoring the population, to the constant APC patrols and frequent checkpoints. biometrics that discover Drivers (or bioterrorists, as they say). DUP propaganda labels them) as trying to blend in with the general population. The Bureau is led by Brooke Augustine, herself a Conduit with the ability to control concrete, a power she uses to ruthlessly and efficiently hunt down her fellow Conductors and imprison them. Delsin Rowe, the resident black sheep of a nearby Akomish Native American reservation, discovers that he too is a conduit when she comes into physical contact with a DUP prison escapee who has the power to control smoke. Now that he himself is on the run, Delsin is driven to fight to free the city from him and heal the tribe from him, most of whom have been mortally wounded by Augustine in his effort to locate and bring down Rowe.

Believing that the best defense is a good offense, Rowe decides to take on the DUP and megalomaniac Augustine. Using his newfound powers, and his call for anti-DUP inflammatory graffiti, Delsin removes the Bureau’s control over the city’s districts by any means possible. As he liberates Seattle’s neighborhoods one by one, Delsin’s path leads him inexorably toward a final confrontation with the DUP and Augustine herself. Fortunately, he’s not alone, and with the help of his long-suffering brother Reggie, and perhaps a couple of new Conduit powers borrowed from other ‘bio-terrorists’ rumored to be hiding within Seattle’s city limits, Delsin Rowe could hold out. chance against the overwhelming odds against you.

infamous second son It’s a truly beautiful game, and while I haven’t had much experience with the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One consoles, I can say second sound it’s one of the first games on the new hardware that really screams “next-gen” to me. It really does look and feel like something the PS3 or Xbox 360 couldn’t duplicate. While this is partly due to the game’s graphics, leaving it at that would not tell the whole story. Sure, the cutscenes are beautifully rendered, but the voice acting is spot on, too. Controls are tight and responsive, making use of the Dualshock 4 controller’s touchpad frequently, but without feeling too awkward or forced. The game’s script itself is also strong, with only a few predictable moments and cheesy bits of dialogue sprinkled throughout. The city itself may not be as detailed as what we’ll see on PS4 in a year or two, but it’s beautifully illuminated with some outstanding lighting effects that make the most of Seattle’s usually humid conditions and numerous neon signs. scattered everywhere. The city iteration from Sucker Punch Productions.

all in all infamous second son it’s a great game, and it feels like a thoroughly tested, high-quality experience. It will probably go down as one of the first titles to push the envelope of this most recent hardware cycle. If you’re a fan of third-person adventure games with open worlds to explore Assassin’s Creed III, Y saints row ivyou owe it to yourself to check infamous second son This day. It’s a solid gaming experience overall, and one of the first truly standout games to be revealed here in the infancy of PlayStation 4. Look for it on your local Slackers today!
