The powers in this game are amazing. Gameplay and mechanics wise I think this is the best superhero game ever made. I don't think its as good as Arkham City and Knight but that's because Batman is really just a skilled fighter rather than a superhero with superhuman abilities and powers.
The story is meh, but it doesn't effect my enjoyment of this game. Infamous has always had a bit of cringey dialogues and stereotypical character portrayals and the only reason 1 and 2 are highly regarded for their stories is their endings, which were amazing, but the rest of the story was nothing to write home vabout. This game doesn't have a great ending either, though.
The open world design is fine, nothing amazing either, aesthetically speaking. Seattle looks good but doesn't feel as alive as even last generation cities like Liberty City in GTA IV, and there is a lack of side activities and diversity in areas here. The entire a city is a concrete jungle. Empire City and New Marais had more variety and were better designed. Mechanically its good design. Sucker Punch always nails it here, and its one of the reasons traversal and combat is so much fun in this game.
My opinions sound negative but they aren't. Infamous Second Son is the best exclusive game this generation after Bloodborne as its so much fun to play and a very enjoyable game. That's what its meant to be, as the story has never been the focus at Sucker Punch and I'm totally fine with that as long as they keep improving the gameplay like they have been doing. Infamous 2 is still a better game when all is said but Second Son is an absolutely amazing game too.
