Ratchet and Clank, Infamous: Second Son, and Destroy All Humans! are a few games similar to Crackdown that PS4 fans can enjoy on their console of choice.
With Crackdown 3 set to debut on Xbox One and PC this February 15, some PS4 fans may be feeling left out. Few games offer the same destructive fun the series prides itself on. There are a couple, however, that do come close to replicating Crackdown‘s outlandish charm. Check out what PS4 titles come to mind below.
Just like the Crackdown series, Volition’s Saints Row games don’t take themselves too seriously. Each title allows fans to experience a story mode or play side missions to their heart’s content. The franchise is perhaps craziest in its fourth entry, Saints Row 4, which tasks people with fighting off an alien invasion as the President of the United States.
Superpowers can be used alongside weapons like the Tentacle Bat, the Dildo Bat, the Black Hole Launcher, and the almighty Dubstep Gun. There’s also a demolition-derby mode called Mayhem that gives players an entire city to destroy. Those that enjoy this entry should check out the game’s standalone expansion Saints Row: Gat out of Hell, which is somehow wilder than the main game.
What makes Infamous: Second Son‘s open world version of Seattle so fun is protagonist Delsin Rowe’s access to a variety of neat superpowers. Smoke, neon, video, and concrete can be manipulated by using materials in Delsin’s immediate vicinity. The colors of a restaurant sign can be absorbed and used as firepower against patrolling enemies, and television screens can teleport players to wherever their circuits may lead. Though buildings aren’t destructible, a lot of the enemy D. U. P. posts can be wrecked without remorse. You can also torment innocent bystanders if that’s your thing. Just don’t let it get to your head.
Just Cause 3 and 4 star a mercenary named Rico Rodriguez who seemingly loves to blow up as much surface area as he possibly can.
