I just re-downloaded Infamous: Second Son and I’m blown away by how well it holds up on PS5! The powers and the graphics are amazing. I’m looking for recommendations for other games that: 1. Offer a similar gameplay style with freedom of movement, especially vertical movement, and 2. Include unique supernatural abilities that go beyond the typical elemental powers like water, fire, lightning, or earth. Any suggestions?

If you’re into the newer PS4/PS5 Spider-Man games, they’ve kind of taken the mantle from Infamous and Prototype in terms of free traversal gameplay. Even if you’re not a huge Spider-Man fan, it might give you that similar feeling. Also, don’t forget about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Monster Hunter Rise—they have some unique mechanics that you might find interesting!
If you enjoy being a superhero of sorts, I’d also recommend the Spider-Man games! They offer a fantastic traversal experience. You might also want to try Saints Row 4—it’s got wild over-the-top powers like super speed and higher jumps. Plus, Gravity Rush and the Dishonored series are great options worth exploring, even if they’re in first-person view.
You should definitely check out Prototype! It’s from some of the creators of The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, so there’s tons of freedom in movement and some really unique superpowers. Perfect for what you’re looking for!
Sunset Overdrive is a perfect match for what you’re describing! It has an extremely fun movement style and some quirky, supernatural elements. Just keep in mind it’s pretty goofy, so if you’re looking for a serious plot, you might find it a bit wacky! But the gameplay feels a lot like Infamous.
Oh?? I haven’t heard of it. I’ll take a look!
