    The overall score is based on how much fun I personally had with every component of the game
    and the overall experience.

    It suffers from the same flaws as the base game Second Son, it's entertaining the powers are very cool but apart from that the story and everything else quite forgettable

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Como DLC cumplía con la calidad/duración que esperábamos, pero no está al nivel de las principales, ni mucho menos.

    Story is waaaaaaaaay too short, now I understand why I the game is so cheap. The extra content with the battle arenas is cool but nothing I would go back to. I don't really care for the characters in first lights besides maybe fetch but that's mostly because of the bond you can build with her in second son.

    Infamous continues the great gameplay and graphics from second son. However, the character development remains a bit lacking.

    Entretenido pero muy debajo de Second Son

    JUGABILIDAD: En Second Son, yo hablaba de lo divertida y adictiva que era la jugabilidad; un mundo en el que había muchas cosas extras qué hacer y en el cual la rotación de los poderes especiales era primordial.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    En Second Son, yo hablaba de lo divertida y adictiva que era la jugabilidad; un mundo en el que había muchas cosas extras qué hacer y en el cual la rotación de los poderes especiales era primordial. First Light carece de ambas cosas.
    Ambas son compresibles: los poderes puesto que nuestra protagonista puede solo usar uno de ellos (Neón), y los extras porque es una expansión (independiente, eso sí) bastante corta. No obstante, sí que lo anterior lo hace quedar por debajo de la historia de Delsin.

    La trama principal, como en su parte complementaria, es muy corta y simplona.

    Los retos de oleadas de enemigos pueden gustarle a muchas personas, a mí en particular no me interesaron mucho.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Visualmente está bien y la narrativa es decente. Los modelados de los rostros siguen siendo malos, pero como ventaja sobre Second Son tenemos que tiene menos problemas en la iluminación (supongo que debido a que la mayor parte del juego ocurre de noche).

    SONIDO:
    Nada especial, es probablemente el apartado más débil del juego.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Carece de los mejores aspectos que hicieron, para mí, de Second Son un juego diviertidisimo. No es malo, pero si es inferior en todos los aspectos.    … Expand

    Not too bad! Compared to the other Infamous games it falters a bit and the story is kind of predictable. But it is fun to use Fetch's powers and targeting the weak points of enemies is a great idea. It's a pretty well done, DLC-sized game that is worth playing if you like the other Infamous games.

Проныра, как геймплейный персонаж сбалансированный, играть одно удовольствие, чего нельзя сказать о Делсине (да, у меня до сих пор бомбит с его способностей камня и дыма, играть этими так скажем классами на уровне эксперт невозможно).

    Графически игра выглядит также, как и Second Son, т.е. замечательно.    … Expand

    The gameplay is very solid and fun, and Sucker Punch certainly did a good job reusing assets from Second Son.

The story and main character of this game were actually both so enjoyable I would have happily played through a full-length game going on a journey with them, which is so tragic considering the 2 hour length of the story makes this feel more like an opening act of a story rather than a complete experience. Sadly this tragedy continues as no new inFamous games have been made since this one, effectively shelving a great character and story idea with little hope of a 'light' for a continuation. This leads to a feeling of this game not aging well, much like Second Son, in that there are so many good characters and ideas at work here for a future I don't believe the developers will be able to explore. Once upon a time this game may have inspired optimism for a interesting turn in this story, but instead I'm left lamenting and wondering what could have been.… Expand

    A very nice addition with the second most charismatic hero after the main character, limited to a neon ability, but with its own counters and shooting range

    Не осилил

    Мне понравился InFAMOUS: Second Son. Игра пусть и не является игрой на века, всё-же неплохо развлекает и рассказывает пусть и простую, но интересную историю. Увы, тоже самое за First Light я сказать не могу. Визуал игры остался без изменений, разве что фреймрейт стал чуть стабильнее. По геймплею персонаж теперь владеет только неоном, но его можно усиливать через прокачку.    Не осилил

    Мне понравился InFAMOUS: Second Son. Игра пусть и не является игрой на века, всё-же неплохо развлекает и рассказывает пусть и простую, но интересную историю. Увы, тоже самое за First Light я сказать не могу.

    Визуал игры остался без изменений, разве что фреймрейт стал чуть стабильнее. По геймплею персонаж теперь владеет только неоном, но его можно усиливать через прокачку. Выбор стороны убрали, что вполне объяснимо. В данном DLC мы играем за Проныру, где рассказывается её предыстория, которую можно услышать, проходя основную игру.

    Основной моей претензией к данному DLC является то, что в него банально скучно играть. В отличии от Делсина, Абигейл совсем не тянет своей харизмой на главного персонажа, да и история её скучна и растянута. Будь игра вдвое короче, играть в неё было бы интереснее в разы. Но увы - однообразные задания уровня побочных активностей оригинальной игры начинают надоедать уже в первой её половине, а урезанный геймплей только дополняет общую картину скуки. Добавили арену, но на ней совершенно не интересно выступать (разве что за Делсина с полностью прокачанными способностями, но тоже быстро надоедает).

    Из плюсов могу отметить лишь похорошевший фреймрейт и саму задумку рассказать предысторию Проныры, но минусы с лихвой перекрывают эти плюсы - игра жутко затянутая и в неё банально скучно играть, из за чего я её так и не прошел.

    Мой вердикт: 6/10, игра как самостоятельное творение - "проходняк", как standalone-DLC - слишком затянуто.    … Expand

    Главное слово, описывающее эту игру — посредственность. Геймплей, история, графика, мир, персонажи, всё — посредственноть. Можно купить только если остались очень довольны Infamous: Second Son и хотите ещё.

    While we already knew the story in First Light, thanks to Second Son, it is well fleshed out here and gives us a great female protagonist in Fetch. It also seems that while Delsin controlled well with neon, it feels as if neon was made for Fetch. In fact when i use Delsin in the combat arena it just doesn't feel the same or as fluid. Speaking of which, the combat arena is superb!

That said, the game doesn't feel as varied as Second Son, the side missions are okay at best and the challenges, while fun, hvae a few annoying ones. Like why can' i get these **** **** to stand on the **** platform?! Well it is a great expansion that adds to Second son and is worth the money.… Expand

    The story is centered on Fetch, a character seen in Infamous: Second Son, who possesses neon powers that let her move at high speed, blast foes , etc. Fetch, in the present day, tells Brooke Augustine, antagonist of Second Son, the events that led to her current situation of being locked in a prison for conduits (people with powers of all kinds). The narrative primarily take place in flashbacks, where Fetch tries to find her brother Brent who has gone missing after the former returns from a theft gone wrong. Fetch meets and begins to work with gang leader Shane, who is facing off against a rival russian gang and helps to search for Brent, as the latter works for Shane. Things go south for the siblings and Fetch is forced to work for a hostage taker, as her brother is the hostage. The main story is broken up with present day segments where Fetch displays new powers in the prison's arenas that can be accessed afterwards in the flashbacks.

    Gameplay has you using your neon powers for both traversal and combat. The dash function lets you blitz around and get you to your destination quickly, with boost gates on roads and rooftops to give you a temporary speed boost. Initially, you can blast neon projectiles and punch your enemies in order to kill them. However, through upgrades and story progression, you can enhance yourself and become more powerful, letting off homing rockets and firing stasis blasts to slow enemies down to gain the advantage. You can also pull off weakpoint kills, where if you shoot a glowing bodypart of an enemy, you instantly take them out. You also have the Singularity blast, where a black hole of neon is formed and sucks in all enemies to kill them. Foes can also be removed from battle by way of melee finishers, which instant kill foes and are earned by punching enemies to death. When aiming, time will slow down to allow you to pull off the aforementioned weakpoint kills.These upgrades are bought through earning skill points. They can be earned by completing challenges, finding neon orbs out in the world, finishing races, destroying drones and spray painting neon graffiti on select buildings. You also have access to three arenas after the story is finished, letting you play in two modes for the arenas: rescue, only available to the alpha and beta arenas, where you must save hostages while fending off waves of enemies, and survival, available to all arenas, where you must stay alive for as long as possible against incoming waves of enemies that get stronger in both games modes.

    The problems with First Light are mainly the story length and its map size. You can easily complete all side activities along with the story in only a few hours with little difficulty. There is nothing to do after you pick the place clean.

    In short, First Light is a decent prequel to Second Son. Combat is fun, especially in the arenas, and the side missions are good distractions. However, there is not much content to be seen after all the side missions and story missions are done, besides the arena. The story is short and has a familiar cliche and is mostly uninteresting, though the segments where Fetch talks about the times with her brother are somewhat engaging. Buy this game when the price of it is low.    … Expand

    E' tutto sommato una buona espansione all'ottimo Infamous Second Son, ma non regala molte emozioni nella trama principale.
    Ottimo invece il post-game.

    First Light is a solid expansion to the inFamous franchise, but it sort of wastes some it's potential. The storyline is almost painfully predictable. While Fetch's fragility is endearing, she comes off as a rather weak protagonist. [Oct 2014]

    It’s more of a DLC than a real stand-alone product. Fetch is likeable and the game evokes some pleasant memories of Second Son, but I had no desire to stay in virtual Seattle any longer than I needed to finish the 3,5 hour long story. [Nov 2014, p.56]
