At the very least, there should have been an appearance by a previous character in the main story. Adding a few easter eggs with an electronics shop whose name is “Cole McG’s” and a Sly Cooper playground does not count as fan service. Sure, there’s super powers, but a lot of games have super powers. It’s a bit frustrating to me that a lot of games in the new generation seem to be disguising a new IP with similar gameplay mechanics under an established franchise’s large trench coat.Ĭole’s actions should have directly affected the game here, but if I hadn’t seen developer commentary saying that the game was set 7 years after the events of inFamous 2, I would have completely missed the fact that the two games had any kind of relation to each other. In the entire game, there is no mention of Cole MacGrath whatsoever, and the fact that they call it an inFamous game with that in mind is a bit mind-boggling. Even in the Cole’s Legacy DLC, of the four missions, only 2 of them directly deal with the events of the first two games, and Zeke only appears by phone for less than two minutes. I was extremely disappointed with the lack of fan service in the story. On the topic of another inFamous game, it’s hard to call this game an inFamous game itself.

If there is another inFamous game - which I hope there is because I love the series - I hope there is more in the way of plot twists like in the first game where Kessler is Cole from the future, or in the second game where Kuo turns evil and Nix turns good. I wish there was more in the game in terms of plot points that we cared about. Finally, the good ending was predictable and closed the story with no further emotional impact. Reggie’s death didn’t sadden me too much and Augustine saying she was saving the conduits elicited no response from me whatsoever. That was the only time in my two playthroughs that I was actually surprised and emotionally affected by something that had happened in the story.
The thing is, the only one plot point of the four I mentioned above was Delsin performing an Orbital Drop on the Akomish settlement. As for plot twists, Augustine did everything she did to “save” all of the conduits instead of kill them, saying that not a single conduit died while locked up. She tells him he is no longer Akomish and his response is an Orbital Drop on the entire Akomish settlement. Delsin then goes to fulfill his promise to Betty, but when he knocks on the door, she opens it and shuns him for disgracing the tribe.

Augustine’s conduit prisoners are set free and Delsin will shake each of their hands on the way out the door, allowing him to have as many powers as there are conduits. In the evil ending, Augustine is killed and Delsin, Fetch and Eugene control the city. Delsin then goes to take the concrete out of the Akomish people and he is a hero to his people and to the city. In the good ending, Augustine is exposed and her whole campaign is shut down with crowds cheering for Fetch, Eugene and Delsin as she is taken away. In the end, it was a great experience, but I was left wanting just a little bit more from the story and characters.Īs this is a spoiler discussion, let’s just spoil the game right now. That’s the thing about InFamous: Second Son, it’s so good in so many places, but there are a lot of missteps made by Sucker Punch that hold it back from being everything we wanted it to be. But if you’re looking for a deep story with great supporting characters and plot twists that you care about, keep on searching. If you’re looking for a game with great gameplay and a fun world to use your Neon powers to traverse, then look no further. I will be discussing what I thought about the game’s endings and plot points as well as gameplay and presentation, but I will also be discussing other parts of the game and areas surrounding the game that I liked and didn’t like. Note: This will be as much a spoiler discussion as it is a rant about both the good and bad aspects of the game.
If you have completed both and would like to read someone else’s thoughts on the game, you’ve come to the right place. If you have not completed both stories and would not like to have the plots spoiled for you, please click away now.
