Second Son ramps up the comic book action further than previous games. Your quest to find her is the driving force of Second Son’s main story, and while your encounters together are frequently frustrating her payoff is an interesting one that adds depth to her characterization. Perhaps the most intriguing character in the game is the rock queen, Augustine. More interesting personalities like drug dealer-hunting rebel-girl Fetch, provide some of the game’s few binary moral choices, but everyone ends up being sidelined. Their relationships developers but it never convinces. Delsin’s cop brother Reggie is a walking buzz kill, pushing Delsin to relinquish his powers. It’s a shame, then, that your companions feel either underused or hollow. His comical quips and likeability hold the game intact, bringing the cast of surrounding characters together whichever moral path you decide to run down. Things improve however, and gradually he eclipses original InFamous stalwart Cole McGrath, growing in to the teen angst tone of the game perfectly. Intended as a charming counter-culture rogue, his attitude initially comes off as forced and insincere, and the prospect of spending 10 more hours with this dudebro isn’t an attractive one. Sure, it looks genuinely breathtaking, with a range of different weather effects, but the lack of a real dynamic day-night cycle furthers the feeling that you’re playing a demo, or a single level, rather than investing yourself in a place.Īnd then there is lead man Delsin Rowe, who wakes one morning with super powers after an encounter with a bio-terrorist group known as the conduit. You instantly know that it’s just a playground – not a world. Pedestrians bustling around, traffic runs on cycled loops, the city tries to fool you – but it fails. Many areas are nondescript with only a couple of recognizable landmarks creating the sense that you’re exploring somewhere real and interesting. Moving from the fictional cities of past games to a colorfully stylized (if relatively condensed) interpretation of Seattle, Second Son offers an inviting environment but never turns it into an interesting place to be or explore.
But the immediate question is whether there is much of substance beyond the flashy polygons.
