Infamous Second Son and Infamous First Light
Infamous Second Son was one of the first titles to show audiences the power of the PlayStation 4 and to this day remains one of the console’s fan-favorite exclusives. Reviews weren’t unanimously positive, sure, but one underlying element that almost every critic took note of was the game’s astounding visuals. Though players start out with just smoke powers, gaining the ability to use neon and then video only dials up the beauty of the title up to 11, making it an absolute requirement to play around with photo mode at least once.
Aside from that, Infamous Second Son is the first game in the franchise to take place in an actual, real life city. Sucker Punch faithfully they recreated Seattle and it was a blast to explore it. Everything about Second Son oozes a certain cool charm that certainly hasn’t worn off even midway through this console generation.
Infamous First Light released only a couple of months after Second Son and tells the story of Fetch, one of the latter game’s personable side characters. Though its story isn’t as expansive as that of Delsin’s, First Light improves upon the series’ fluid gameplay, embodying the pinnacle of superpower action mayhem.
