Best inFAMOUS Games 1

What are the best inFAMOUS games? Before Sucker Punch Productions began its noble quest to Japan with the Ghost series, it made a series of open world superhero titles, and it remains a fan favourite franchise.

Set in a world where a select few people possess superhuman powers thanks to a rare gene, the games use a karma system, allowing you to decide whether to use your abilities for good or evil. Whether you're a fan of Cole MacGrath's electrical talents or Delsin Rowe's more diverse pool of powers, these are great action games with satisfying traversal and fun stories.

But which is best? That's where you come in. This list of the best inFAMOUS games is ordered in accordance with your user ratings, meaning you can have a direct impact on how these titles are ranked. Using the search bar below, you can find games in the series and then leave your ratings, and doing so will contribute to this list.

Here we are, then: the best inFAMOUS games, ranked and rated by our community.

5. inFAMOUS: First Light (PS4)

inFAMOUS: First Light is a spin-off from the main series, starring the neon-powered conduit, Fetch. This standalone adventure has you playing as the character, telling the story of her past that led to her capture. It's another excuse to zip around an open world Seattle, and with a short run time, it's refreshingly brief. If you're after a slice of slick superhero action that doesn't outstay its welcome, this comes recommended.

4. inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood (PS3)

inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood is a standalone off-shoot from inFAMOUS 2, bringing to life a world in which vampires are taking over New Marais, and Cole is the latest victim. Eschewing the karma system of the main games, this is a fun riff on the series that gives you permission to let loose and embrace darkness as our hero battles vampiric forces.

3. inFAMOUS: Second Son (PS4)

Sucker Punch continues its popular superhero series with a brand new protagonist in inFAMOUS: Second Son. Taking the open world action to Seattle, you play as Delsin Rowe, a conduit with the amazing ability to absorb the powers of other superhumans. This gives you many more toys to play with as you progress, gaining unusual abilities based on smoke, neon, digital, and more. Exploring the city feels great, combat is fun and varied, and it looks fantastic — a great early showpiece for PS4.

2. inFAMOUS (PS3)

A fan favourite first-party franchise is inFAMOUS, starting life on PS3. Like some of Sony's other studios, this was a step into more mature territory for Sucker Punch Productions, following its run of Sly Cooper titles with a pulpy, open world superhero game. Playing as Cole MacGrath, who gains electrical abilities after a disastrous explosion, you can follow the route of good or evil as you jet about on telephone wires, blast baddies with lightning, and scale buildings in a flash. While it has its flaws, this first entry's entertaining story and fun superpowers laid the groundwork for a series that fans are still campaigning to return.

1. inFAMOUS 2 (PS3)

After the series got off to a promising start, inFAMOUS 2 is one of those sequels that improves basically everything, taking the franchise to the next level. Cole MacGrath is charged with stopping an almighty force from wiping out the country, and to do that, he'll need the help of some friends (and maybe enemies too). The morality system is still present, and you'll unlock brand new superpowers depending on the path you choose, giving Cole much more variety — and he even gets better melee combat to boot. With better gameplay, a more interesting setting, improved visuals, and an engaging story, it's a pitch-perfect sequel.

That's that for our list of the best inFAMOUS games. What do you think? Are these superpowered action adventures in the right order, or is the ranking downright villainous?
