And in inFamous: Second Son, there’s no grey area wiggle room here. Dip too much into the dark side, and certain light side skills will be out of your reach. Certain skills will be off-limits however, depending on your current karma. Or you can choose to increase the damage you deal, or unlock new moves such as teleporting behind a DUP soldier and face-planting him. Want to absorb smoke more quickly and efficiently? There’s a skill tree for that. Once you have enough shards, you can focus on the powers that you want to improve on. Mobile drones litter the skies of Seattle, and shooting them down will allow Delsin to absorb the energy inside their sensors. Powers can be further improved with blast shards, found throughout the game. They’re rather pretty to look at when you seem them in action. Drain YouĮach ability can also be unleashed with one ultimate attack, leveling the field of any and all enemies in a cavalcade of explosive colour and, er,um explosives. Key differences though, would be that while smoke provides a quick and versatile manner with which to inflict some damage, Neon allows for more precise action, as it targets vital areas that help Delsin to extend either his good or evil alignment. Quick blasts, heavy duty missiles and augmented melee attacks all feature in the package. As a power sponge, Delsin learns a few more tricks, but I’m not going to spoil that here.Įach of the powers that Delsin assimilates also share a few similarities to one another. Thankfully, you wield enough power in the game, quickly unlocking Neon powers after you gain your Smoke abilities. Throw in turrets, APC vehicles and outside interference depending on how you play the game, and you’ve either got to plan your attack or be quick on your feet. Run of the mill soldiers will come at you with guns blazing, heavier augmented soldiers will chase you up rooftops, super-heavy troopers will require tons of firepower to bring down as they attempt to see if firing the contents of a small nickel mine into you will result in your death and specialists will attempt to contain your movements. It won’t be easy though, as DUP agents come in several granite-flavours. Find a DUP secret agent, disable security cameras and tag some walls with graffiti, and you’ll drop their influence in that block and eventually initiate a showdown between Delsin and the remaining DUP forces in that area. Feeling like a very refined version of inFamous 2, the game offers all the action from the previous game, with a few new additions.Ĭity blocks need to be freed from DUP control, a feat that can be achieved by engaging in several smaller side missions. Controls still feel tight, combat is varied and the game is a challenge on any difficulty setting as gamers get a massive sandbox to romp through. It’s not dissimilar to the electricity that Cole used in inFamous 2, but that’s the thing about Second Son it sticks very close to the formula laid out in that first sequel.īut that’s not a negative really.
The real fun however, is in using these powers to navigate around Seattle, flying through vents in buildings to instantly ascend, blasting through the sky and hovering around. Smoke gives Delsin more of an edge however, bolstering his mêlée attacks with some tobacco and ember power, allowing him to fire deadly bolts, charge them up for a shotgun-like spread, fire heavy-duty missiles and throw bombs that’ll suck the air right out of a hapless goon and leave them with nicotine poisoning. All the old inFamous regulars are there: Fast healing, infinite stamina, high jumps and some wall-scaling parkour. Starting out with Smoke, Delsin becomes a one-man army with a set of powers that are defined by his attitude. DUP patrols the streets, everyone hates Delsin because of his status as a hipster Conduit and his long-suffering brother Reggie has come along for the ride. Headstrong, aimless and ready to buck any authority figures in his life, he’s a shiftless graffiti artist until that fateful day that he winds up with powers.ĭelsin soon finds himself caught up in events, that necessitate his journey to Seattle, now under firm lockdown by the Depart of Unified Protection. Whereas inFamous 1 and 2’s Cole McGrath was a free-spirited blue collar electrified Joe, Delsin is a rebel to the core. And it succeeds in all those departments magnificently.Ī new generation of consoles calls for a new hero.
