Delsin Rowe
Replacing former inFamous protagonist Cole McGrath, Delsin Rowe brings a much more youthful and care-free character to the series. Comedic, cocky and reckless, Delsin pulls all the great aspects of inFamous together for Second Son.
Delsin has received a mixture of positive and negative reviews, with many citing his emotional characteristics and decision making throughout the game. However, due to the fast paced nature of the inFamous franchise, a lot of his personality traits were taken as bland and negative, especially early on in the game.
Delsin portrays a character who gains incredible super-powers and is in a position to use them for good or evil. Despite this trope’s common use, his youthfulness brings a lot of thoughtlessness and clumsy decisions that cause more problems. This is where his character becomes more organic and refreshing. Players are truly able to make decisions to the situation if it was themselves. He is a character that grows on people, a journey from gaining extraordinary powers that matures and brings out a unique emotional side from characters within the series.
Sucker Punch Productions have always had fantastic characters within the inFamous franchise, with Fetch and Zeke leading alternate charges. Delsin stands out in giving us a relatable character fighting for the sake of his tribe and family.
