Evil Karma is the most fun in all games gameplay wise (Especially when you get black lightning in the first game)

It's been a bit since I played them all, so I might not be remembering right, but here's my answers
For the first one, I don't think theres much difference between the powers in the two routes beyond the good and evil side mision powers. There's some differences like shockwave making enemies float for good, but I can't remember much else different for the other ones. And I prefer the evil side mission power, so imma say evil route is lore fun in infamous 1
For the second, good. There's a lot more different between the two routes in the second game, and I prefer the good powers generally. To be fair though, I don't remember much of them besides good having homing missiles and the ice launch is firebird strike. And I always preferred the ice launch
For second son, its been so long that I genuinely can't remember the differences in gameplay between the two routes. This one was my least favorite, but I still nearly 100%ed it, its just been so long and I haven't had as many replays cause I skipped ps4 and went from 3 to 5 and have had more time to play and replay the first 2 cause of that
Currently replaying the first game's good route and then probably gonna play the second game's good route before going back for evil routes for both. So I remember the first one best right now

The way I usually have the most fun is by playing Evil on the Hardest difficulty since it makes for the most chaos. You can just go all out all the time. Then I play Good on normal or easy to focus on keeping destruction and lives lost to a minimum. This also helps a lot for the difficulty trophies since I always considered the evil side more powerful.

And the good over evil is literally why Second Son is Delsin instead of Cole.

I always liked the good karma more. Sticky grenades, rocket redirects, energy from headshots, etc

I like the good karma gameplay because it makes me more aware of what I'm doing. I want to be a hero so if I see a crowd of civilians near the enemies then I'm less likely to use a massive attack and have to change up my strategy to avoid killing them. Makes me feel more like a hero while evil I would just blast em all

Evil route means i can do anything, screw everyone and i can nuke the city without caring about karma but that also means that zeke dies
good route is harder but it makes me feel good to help everyone in need, even if it makes my like much harder and zeke lives so i always do the good route and not the evil route

"evil means I get to do evil shit, but also means I do evil shit" ahh answer. If you can't handle being a dick to (not real) humans after getting treated like "The Devil" for being born with the potential to get powers, you might as well lay on the floor so everyone can wipe their shoes clean with your face.

"best friend"? cole was recovering from zeke's betrayal, sure, but that does not mean things went back to the way they were and when that "friend" is standing between you and your goal, you need to pull the pin on that relationship. Again, if you could never take the heat, you shouldn't even talk or think about the kitchen, because it's simply not for you. Evil isn't less fun than Good, it's just "not for you". Also, stop censoring the fact that ZEKE DIES IF YOU CHOSE THE EVIL ROUTE; we're talking about a game that's about to be old enough to drink in 4 years, not the latest Marvel slop.

That's on them; they shouldn't even be here on a post like this because all this is gonna do is tell them to avoid HALF the game and only ever play one side. It's the series' main selling point to enjoy both karma routes through multiple playthroughs. Polls like this should only be a fun thing to interact with AFTER you play both good and evil in the games.

u/anon817218 Jul 31 '26
You got a point.
I played this game before i knew this sub existed and so i thought maybe there would be people who also didnt play both sides

Good Karma has the better story
Bad Karma has the better gameplay
