Story: Set in a fictionalized version of Seattle, the game follows Delsin Rowe, a young graffiti artist who discovers he has supernatural abilities after encountering a Conduit, individuals with superhuman powers. As Delsin, players navigate the morally ambiguous world of Conduits, facing off against the oppressive Department of Unified Protection (D.U.P.) while uncovering the truth about his newfound powers.
Superpowers: Delsin gains the ability to absorb the powers of other Conduits he encounters throughout the game. These powers include:
Smoke: Delsin’s initial power, allowing him to manipulate smoke for offensive and traversal purposes.
Neon: Delsin gains the ability to control neon energy, granting him increased speed and precision attacks.
Video: Delsin can harness the power of digital video, enabling him to create decoys, shoot energy blasts, and manipulate electronic devices.
Concrete (DLC): In the “Infamous: First Light” expansion, players can experience the story of Abigail “Fetch” Walker, a Conduit with the power of concrete manipulation.
Gameplay: Players explore an open-world Seattle, completing main story missions, side missions, and optional activities while honing Delsin’s powers. Combat combines fast-paced action with a variety of abilities, allowing players to approach encounters in different ways based on their chosen playstyle.
Morality System: Similar to previous Infamous games, “Second Son” features a morality system that tracks players’ choices and actions throughout the game. Players can opt to use Delsin’s powers for either heroic or villainous purposes, leading to different story outcomes and character interactions.
Graphics and Presentation: “Infamous: Second Son” showcases the graphical capabilities of the PS4, with stunning visuals, realistic environments, and detailed character models. Dynamic lighting and weather effects further enhance the immersive experience, bringing the vibrant city of Seattle to life.
