Infamous: Second Son is the third game in the Infamous series, but it’s largely independent of the first two though it’s taking place in the same universe loosely following, but with a gap in time, the events of the first two. I enjoyed the first two, as far as explosive action games go they’re among the better. Second Son came out several years ago but I didn’t get around to get it until recently.

At first I was pretty disappointed. The story and characters aren’t as compelling or well written, and the action seemed too constantly fast-paced and twitchy to me, lacking the more varied rythm of the first two. 

Well, I haven’t changed my mind about the story, characters and writing in general (though truth be told it’s still above many other games of this type), but the action and powers slowly grew on me to the point where I’m no longer certain I prefer the first two in that regard, and the game also beats the older ones in some ways (most obviously the graphics, but it also has also incorperated some environmental destruction etc), though all things considered they’re still better games.
