Infamous Second Son (First Impressions)

You wanna know whats weird? I dont really play or like shooting games. The exception to this is the Ratchet&Clank and Infamous Series. So when I got my PS4 I had to go buy Infamous Second Son. I had previously owned the first Infamous game for the PS3. And I really enjoyed it. So playing Second Son was no different.

Just like the first game, Second Son follows the protagonist who gains powers and is faced with decisions which can be good or bad. Depending on what you choose, you gain abilities accordingly. Plus there is the fact that you travel around town by doing parkour. In this game you manipulate smoke. So the powers you get (to name a few) are smoke missles, a smoke dash, and the ability to travel through air vents. 

STORY: The story so far is interesting. The main character, Delsin accidentaly absorbs an escaped prisoner's powers. From there you find out that the authorities are hunting down conduites (people with special powers).

GAMEPLAY: The game plays like a shooter with a sci-fi/fantasy twist. And thats not a bad thing. Thats what makes it so fun to play. You shoot blast of smoke, like a gun in a regular shooter. And like a shooter you run out of ammo. But in this game you run out of smoke. So far the only bad thing is that your powers of smoke dont react the same way to the environment like the first game. For Example: in the first infamous game you wield electricity so if enemies are standing in a puddle of water, you can shoot at the water and cause damage. As far as I know you cant do something like that in Infamous Second Son.

This was my attempt at a first impression of a video game. If this felt more like a review then let me know so that I can do a better job next time.

  1. I think it sounds like a first impression because reviews are a bit more thorough and involve the feedback of a whole game. I think it is clear that this is just what you have experienced so far. You seem to have completed your task!
