Spider-Man vs. Infamous Second Son: Which PS4 Superhero Exclusive Is Better?

Spider-Man vs. Infamous

Recommended Videos

Combat

With any piece of superhero media you can expect plenty of fighting and special powers, and in that regard both Spider-Man and Infamous don’t disappoint. Spidey is an incredibly mobile character, swinging and jumping around fights with ease. Spider-Man’s combat is heavily based around combos and stringing different attacks together. There’s a wide variety of options you can use, and the game’s different suits can instill Spidey with new powers to use. The boss battle can run the gamut, however, from big set-piece battles with unique mechanics to ones that only require simple pattern recognition, and little else. Web-swinging may be Spider-Man’s biggest strength, but combat is certainly no slouch either.

Infamous definitely gives you a little more variation when it comes to combat, with Delsin gaining access to four wildly different powers in the game. Smoke and Concrete let you deal some serious damage up close, while Neon and Video are more long-ranged powers. Once you have multiple powers, swapping between them creates a fast-paced, diverse combat system with a lot of different options. There’s just something more visceral about Second Son’s combat over Spider-Man’s, and Sucker Punch’s game does a great job of making you feel like a super-powered wrecking ball. This is another very close category, but the sheer variety in Infamous gives it a very slight advantage.
