'Infamous: First Light is a decent story around a better character than Second Son, but its battles don't have the same scale or superpower variety that Second Son's do. Sucker Punch did a phenomenal job with the finale.' IGN - 7.5/10 Fetch is a fantastically written character, and the conclusion to her origin story is worth seeing in its entirely-even if you already know what happens. 'Infamous: First Light lacks some of the punch of Second Son in its campaign battles and familiar narrative marks, but is still a welcome addition to the series. Although I wasn't nearly as invested in Fetch as I was with Delsin's story, this is a great way for fans to return to the super-powered world of Seattle, and an even better way for newcomers to get a taste of the series.' Game Informer - 8/10 'Full stop, Infamous: First Light is more Second Son, which is a good thing. First Light is an adequate diversion for fans but unlikely to dazzle anybody else.' Destructoid - 8.5/10 As a standalone game, it earns points for trimming the fat from the open-world template, but is also as generic as they come. Considered as a DLC add-on, it's pretty generous and fans of Second Son will certainly appreciate the extra backstory and another chance to romp around Seattle. 'First Light's weird, limbo nature makes it a hard one to pin down. It's more linear and less surprising than fans might expect from the series, but exploring this world as Fetch is just as fun as it ever was.' Eurogamer - 6/10 In many ways, the abbreviated length of First Light makes it a better bite-sized package.

'Infamous: First Light is at its best when it's iterating on and riffing on Second Son. Beyond that, there are also the battle arenas where you can compete against friends to top the leaderboards. Her powers also allow her 'to move faster and in a more fluid way than we've ever been able to pull off at Sucker Punch,' according to the developer.Īs a $15 game, you shouldn't expect something on par with the size of Second Son-Sucker Punch estimates it to take around 4-5 hours to complete First Light's campaign, but that's only true if you don't focus exclusively on story missions. That means you'll be using neon powers throughout the game, but Sucker Punch told us in a recent interview that they work differently than those used by Second Son's protagonist, Delsin. The first reviews are now out, and we've rounded up a selection of them below.įirst Light stars Fetch, the female Conduit players meet partway through Second Son. With Infamous: Second Son having been out since March, Sucker Punch today released Infamous: First Light, a standalone downloadable expansion-which is to say, it's a spin-off that doesn't require you to own (or have played) Second Son.
