There's the same neon dash ability at work but this time it's unlimited, meaning you can dash around the map without any worries. Neon was probably my favorite power in Second Son, as the speedy way Delsin got around Seattle as well as the amazing visuals produced by it meant I only swapped over to smoke or the other powers when the situation called for it.Īs such, First Light was right up my neon-colored alley, as Fetch is back and her arsenal of abilities is improved and unfettered by the limitations imposed on Delsin. While the plot is pretty predictable, the characters make up a bit for it and Fetch's tragic origins certainly make the character even more believable as a human being, as opposed to the simplistic Delsin from the previous title. While most of her story was told in Second Son, First Light fleshes it out in much better ways and makes people care about her even more, thanks to the pretty good writing, the excellent delivery from her voice actress, and the stylized cut scenes. In First Light, however, Fetch's character and its development don't suffer any change, and in the end it's quite better, as players can admire her own adventures without influencing them in arbitrary ways. Second Son respected the Infamous recipe as it delivered a not so complex character that acted as a blank slate for players to do either good or bad things with their super powers.
Now, developer Sucker Punch has decided that Fetch should get her own experience and delivered Infamous: First Light, a standalone expansion for Second Son that tells the actual story of the troubled young woman, while shedding more light on how super-powered conduits were treated at the Curdun Cay prison by Second Son villain Brooke Augustine.ĭoes First Light manage to flesh out Fetch's origin story or should fans just return to Delsin's adventures? Let's find out.
Rowe met quite a lot of interesting characters along the way, but by far one of the most intriguing was Abigail "Fetch" Walker, who had a pretty troubled past in Seattle and wielded the great-looking neon power.
Infamous: Second Son delivered one of the most impressive PS4 exclusive experiences of the year when it came out last spring, continuing the super-power theme from previous games in the series while completely changing plenty of mechanics and introducing a new character, in the form of Delsin Rowe.
