INFAMOUS SECOND SON review

At 40%, have been spending lots of time grinding outside the story, simply because I enjoy the powers and ragging around the city so much! GTA meets Mirrors Edge meets Heroes TV series. I can't quite understand how they got the game to look so good, but regardless what lies under the visual spectical is an interesting game. I bonded with the character very quickly and enjoy playing the good guy, as it takes skill not to hurt any bystanders. Despite being such an obvious graphics showpiece, it should be said this is very much a "gamers" game. It takes skill and feels very much like casual gamers were not the target audience. The sounds and music also are quite simply incredible. I took my headset off as I though something was wrong in the house, only to realise it was the game's ambient sounds!
I have now received the second power from the story and believe me when I say, if you thought it looked good before, you are going to be blown away at the 7 hour mark!
Uli asked if the game was worth a PS4 . If you are just into FPS type games then no, absolutely not. But if you want a crazy free running, magical, sci-fi fantasy third person open world game, then yes!
Final thing I'd say is the sub culture and free running thing, it almost feels like a game like "Skate" where just the physics and moving around are fun. I find myself zooming about and then just balancing on a sign post or ledge, looking at the world going past. Incredible stuff.

This totally rocks. Love the banter between Delsin and his brother. It's like the opposite of Cole and Zeke, like they're round the other way.
Love using all my powers to control mobs. Feels so epic.
I'll get shot for saying it I know but I would trade graphical effects for 60fps in this game. I really feel now that as beautiful as a game may look, and this does look beautiful, I would aim for 60fps to the detriment of almost everything.

2 things I want in this:
1. A full stats page to see playtime, distance travelled, enemies killed / subdued etc.
2. The ability to crouch behind cover like you could in the first 2 games. Unless I've missed something it doesn't seem possible to hide behind cars or low walls and pop up to inflict massive damage.
