Infamous: Second Son - 7 Reasons It's Sadly Not A System Seller

2. Length

Sony Computer EntertainmentThe lack of side activities wouldn€™t matter as much if the main campaign of the game wasn€™t so short. Whilst other inFAMOUS games took between 15-20 hours to complete, some gamers are already reporting having achieved the platinum trophy in Second Son after around 15 hours (which would include a good and evil play through as well as completing all the side missions) - for an open world game that just seems far too short. InFAMOUS 1 had three parts of Empire City to explore that were each overrun by different gangs/enemies. The whole of Second Son feels like maybe an extended version of one of those territories with villainess Augustine not being a strong enough character to really pose a threat. She seems just like a minor boss and not the overall villain of the game. InFAMOUS 1 and 2 had roughly about 40 or so story missions each, while we don€™t have the exact numbers to hand, anyone who has played Second Son will agree that there is nowhere near as many. However to give credit where it is due, Sucker Punch are attempting to fix this through the addition of a free mini campaign titled €˜The Paper Trail€™ which really interestingly focuses on a fifth conduit power; paper. These bonus missions are a much needed side activity yet they still don€™t fill the gaping void of emptiness that the virtual Seattle unfortunately currently is.
