Save your big firepower for vehicles and armoured foes, and pepper the lesser grunts with potshots. Grenades on L1 can temporarily disable your adversaries, while rockets on R1 can be used to bring down structures and create big chain explosions. Use your smoke powers to shoot up vents or neon to run up walls to get some distance between your opponents – and then lay the smack down with some long range shots or a ground pound. Dashing with the circle button will allow you to move away from your foes, but you’ll need to break their line of sight if you want to win. The first thing is to never be afraid to retreat. Still, you’re not going to get anywhere in the game if you keep losing battles, so what’s the best way to come out on top? Death in inFAMOUS: Second Son, however, is a very real reality – well, until your last checkpoint loads. You rarely see a comic book character bite the dust – and even when they do, you just know that they’ll be making a comeback in the next issue. Which should you pick? Well, it really is up to you. Good Karma abilities will emphasise precision and enemy suppression, while Evil Karma naturally turns you into a rampaging one-man D.U.P.

You’ll still get the same core powers irrespective of which path you choose, but your upgrades will be tailored towards your specific approach.

After all, superheroes don’t have time to be indecisive.

Still, in order to ensure that you unlock all of the available powers for your character, it’s best to select a specific style and stay with it throughout the game. Playing with Good Karma does make the game slightly more difficult, so if you’re going for the Platinum Trophy, we recommend saving your Expert difficulty run for Evil Karma.
