A Halloween night, Cole turned vampire, an Infamous spin-off told like a tall tale by his buddy Zeke.

The profile by criterion sets up a clear tension. Controller feel explodes, ahead of 97% of titles on few votes, a sign that the powers and movement answer instantly. But look around, and everything drops. The art style stalls at the bottom, ahead of only 11% of games, fun and rediscovery drag low. Attachment and soundtrack stay afloat near the middle. There is the split, it plays beautifully, but almost nothing else holds on for long.

For a standalone expansion built on the Infamous 2 engine, it adds up. The inherited gameplay shines, but the short format and the parody tone do not dig the attachment of a main entry.

So, who is it for? For you if you love moving through a city with gleeful powers and a controller that answers. Much less if you want a memorable art direction, or a game that marks you beyond its sensations.
