Great Game, not as good as others in the series

While playing Infamous:Second son you feel like nothing can stop you with plenty of powers that are the main reason for that.This game just like other Infamous games you can choose to be a Villian or Hero which changes the game drastically. But for an Open world game it's pretty short and after beating the story mode there are side missions but these aren't very well developed as you might be given one task and after completing it another side mission is almost exactly the same. Graphics: Everything in this game is detailed and clear, the world is very colorful and vibrant and you can't help but stop the game and just stare at your surroundings. The graphics are the Best i've seen Story: The story drastically changes depending on what you choose to do (be a hero or villian) and this definitely adds replayability to the game I wont ruin the ending(s) for you but its AMAZING Gameplay: With so many powers to use and fun combat mechanics the gameplay is pretty good but even that isn't all it has to offer but the gameplay isn't any better than past infamous games but is still very fun. The verdict: This is a very great game with flaws here and there but it is a very fun experience It could be so much more but it didn't reach it's full potential +Great story +Creative powers and abilities +Great Graphics -Side missions and side content isn't well developed -Gameplay gets a little boring after a while with not much new throughout the game -Very short for an open world game
