It’s consistently easy to manage what’s going on and how to respond to it, even when the screen gets very crowded, which is crucial for the game’s new Battle Arenas especially. The game’s framerate never dips or feels taxed, and as much as combat can quickly become a mess of neon-lit, time-shifting mayhem, the game never suffers for it. There may be no other major Conduits besides Fetch in Infamous: First Light, if you don’t count Infamous: Second Son villain, Brooke Augustine occasionally showing up in cutscenes, but this means that Fetch’s flashy powers can exclusively take the spotlight.ĭespite the fact that players will be constantly slowing down time every time they aim Fetch’s neon lasers, and using powerful abilities like Neon Singularity (which takes the place of Delsin’s Karma Drop as a powerful trump card attack) that routinely rip through the environment, Infamous: First Light boasts impeccable performance as well. The painstaking amount of detail on the main character models, namely Fetch herself, remains absolutely exquisite, as do the incredible displays of light and colour that explode with every use of Fetch’s neon powers. Infamous: Second Son is arguably the PS4’s prettiest launch window exclusive, and naturally, Infamous: First Light looks just as great. Infamous: First Light is ultimately a good standalone expansion for what it offers, but the fact that it takes some steps backwards with the design makes it feel just a bit inferior to Infamous: Second Son unfortunately. Its prequel story is very short, and the series’ former issue with repetitive combat is back now, given that, unlike Infamous: Second Son, you’re back to only having one superpower at your disposal with Fetch.
With that said though, if you do have a save file for Infamous: Second Son on your PS4’s hard drive, you’ll unlock the ability to play as Delsin Rowe in the new Curdun Cay Battle Arenas that debut in Infamous: First Light, which is very cool!Īs much as it’s appealing to hardcore fans and curious newcomers of Infamous: Second Son however, Infamous: First Light isn’t required playing for PS4 owners that could care less however. Better still is the fact that it’s priced at a modest $14.99, and is a great way to get your feet wet if you’re still on the fence about buying Infamous: Second Son, as a copy of Infamous: Second Son isn’t required to play Infamous: First Light. The good news about Infamous: First Light is that it maintains all of the appealing high points of Infamous: Second Son, even if in a smaller package.
Now, developer, Sucker Punch has decided to expand the experience with a standalone expansion, Infamous: First Light, starring a key supporting character from Infamous: Second Son, Fetch Walker, and serving as a direct prequel to its main inspiration’s events.
