I just re-downloaded Infamous: Second Son and I’m really enjoying it again! The graphics look great on PS5, and the superpowers are really fun. I’m curious if there are other games that offer a similar experience. Specifically, I’m looking for games that feature:
1. A gameplay style with lots of freedom of movement, especially in terms of verticality.
2. Unique supernatural powers that go beyond the usual elements like water, fire, lightning, or earth.
Any suggestions?

Saints Row 4 has some pretty wild powers, like super speed and crazy jump height. It’s definitely over-the-top, which might be right up your alley!
If you haven’t tried Control yet, I highly recommend it! The gameplay is awesome and the atmosphere is really unique, plus it pays homage to some interesting themes.
If you’re able to dive into some Xbox 360 classics, Crackdown is a blast! The feeling you get from upgrading your agility and strength really gives it that superhero vibe.
Crackdown was so much fun, had high hopes for the sequel…
You should definitely check out the Spider-Man games, the Prototype series, the Batman: Arkham games, and Saints Row 4. Gravity Rush and the Dishonored games are also great picks, even if they’re in first-person. They offer a unique twist on movement and abilities!
Prototype is a must-try! It’s from some of the same developers as the Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and it features tons of freedom in how you move around. The powers are really creative too, so you might find it interesting!
Oh?? I haven’t heard of it. Will take a look!
I have and I loved that game, both for the gameplay and the setting. Love the homage to SCP!
