Infamous similar games & best alternatives
Should you play it?
Infamous is a single player open-world action/adventure game that places you in the role of Cole McGrath, a once regular guy who in the aftermath of a horrific catastrophe finds himself not only alive, but developing a fantastic array of superpowers. Going from ordinary to extraordinary overnight isn't something to take lightly. With these powers does one exact revenge? Protect the innocent? Or perhaps, dabble in a little of both? The choice is yours in Infamous.
What works
- Engaging superhero powers and traversal
- Open-world exploration with meaningful moral choices
- Strong comic book style presentation
- Replay value with karma system
- Satisfying combat and progression
Things to keep in mind
- Repetitive side missions and combat
- Binary morality system with limited nuance
- Frustrating enemy ai and precise snipers
- Occasional technical glitches and clunky platforming
- Weak story and character development
