This game is just as awesome as i remembered it being. Pretty much everything about it just works across the board. The art direction is atmospheric and moody, the traversal has a somewhat steep learning curve but it’s still incredibly fluid and functional, the combat is energetic and engaging, and the story offers just enough twists to keep you wrapped up in it from start to finish. The progression is very rewarding too. The game always gives you cool new mechanics and unique abilities to experiment with and it in turn keeps the overall experience from becoming overly stale or repetitive. If the game does have any singular weaknesses it’s that the actual open world elements are somewhat lacking by modern standards and the world itself doesn’t offer a great deal in the way of in depth, substantial side content, opting to mostly uninspired collectibles and superfluous activities that aren’t entirely interesting. I’m also decidedly not the biggest fan of the morality system. It’s rather half baked and the player choices rarely affect the overarching narrative in any intrinsic or particularly meaningful way. Warts and all though? The core gameplay loop is so immensely satisfying that i can easily look past some of this game’s more glaringly apparent shortcomings. Infamous most certainly holds up as a very fun superhero game and it’s one of the playstation 3’s best exclusives.
