Games that Made You Feel Like a Superhero
Infamous: Second Son
The third entry in the series, Infamous: Second Son is a game where you play as Delsin Rowe, a beanie-wearing graffiti artist who has superpowers and a cop for a brother. Delsin is ironically a rebel and a criminal, so players are forced to use his powers whether for good or “evil.” He has the unique Conduit ability of Absorption, which lets him use other Conduits’ powers.
Absorption allows Delsin to use elemental powers not only as weapons, but also as tools to journey through the concrete jungle of Seattle. He can absorb smoke, neon, concrete, or video, and use them to go through vents, climb quickly up walls, float across the sky, or crash through solid matter with impunity. Infamous has always been praised for its traversal, and Second Son adds a little more to the already solid formula. Its movement powers are showy and yet feel like a natural progression of the series.
