The first two infamous games seemed like safe sony filler, but ended up being somewhat risk-taking and inspired if a bit flawed. This one wanted to appear as if it was taking even more risks-- new main character, drastically new setting and threats, and a ton of new powers-- However this instalment is easily the least inspired and felt like it was made solely by suits going off the framework of what made other sony franchises successful. Nobody's expecting something as good as Zeke ever again or maybe even all the cool side missions, but this game doesn't even come close.
Also worth noting, the multiple powers are cool to advertise the game on but what you end up with is none of them being elaborated on as much as Cole's. Everything that does work about this game comes off as tacked on, with even the new enemy factions and map design seeming as generic as possible. There aren't really any redeeming parts of this game aside from the graphical effects for the neon abilities, to the point you're left with a game that just tediously wears away your interest.
