#INFAMOUS 2 METACRITIC SERIES#

Both characters used unique weapons, fought differently in close quarters battles due to their differing size, and had separate companions on their respective journeys. Abby and Ellie play far differently from each other, with the former having amazing boss fights of her own like the Rat King and the latter remembering her time with Joel through flashbacks. Part of what helped The Last of Us 2 rake in so many awards is how engaging it was from a gameplay perspective as well. Beyond that, though, The Last of Us 2’s differing perspectives offered unique gameplay as well. From small details showing that Ellie and Abby’s stories are occurring at the same time to huge meetups between the two characters, the game’s direction and storytelling is brilliant. While there is plenty of controversy around the character Abby, it is hard to deny that the concept of an interwoven story told from two sides is excellent. RELATED: The Last of Us 2 Winning Metacritic's Game of the Year is Well-Deserved, but IronicĪ major part of what makes Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us sequel so brilliant is its two leads.

As such, if Sucker Punch were to return to the Infamous series for a proper finale, it should focus on developing Delsin while also giving fans what they want from a Cole return - something that has already been pulled off perfectly in The Last of Us 2. With many fans liking Delsin Rowe but missing Cole MacGrath more, there was a sense of disappointment when the short story of Second Son reached its conclusion and Cole was nowhere to be seen. While the Infamous games Second Son and First Light were solid, neither felt like proper conclusions to the series. Further, Naughty Dog's The Last of Us 2 has also provided Sucker Punch with a brilliant format for a final narrative. Like Naughty Dog proved with the Uncharted series, returning to conclude a previous franchise can be worthwhile, helping fans cope with the loss of a beloved series while also providing closure for its characters. While Sucker Punch is likely to continue with Ghost of Tsushima going forward, it should consider returning to the Infamousseries for one final game beforehand.
