Players who will enjoy this dlc like I did will enjoy the simple/basic side missions that are also fun/addictive to finish. The story is pretty straightforward (especially if you've actually played second son, but there was a gentle tug of the heart at the end for me, still.) The level designs were unique enough, and in some cases more fun than the missions in second son. And this dlc is pretty lengthy if you're also into the whole wave after wave arena battle game type, which they do give you. The only negative for me was the limit of only one power, but that was to be expected. Enjoy it while it's free, or do pick up for a cheap and quick good game.… Expand

    It's really short, but seeing as it's a standalone DLC, it's not supposed to be a 30 hour epic. At the time that I played and finished this, I had not played Infamous: Second Son. Yet, it left me with a good impression as to what to expect from that game and it serves as a nice little prequel to Fetch's story. 8/10

I hear that Fetch is the most likable character of the Infamous series and I am real sad to hear that. I liked her brother Brent, if only because he reminded me of the guy from SLC Punk. The story is full of moments that don't make sense. For instance the main bad guy has a hostage and you are destroying all his stuff because "you can't touch him, you need him alive." Well, yeah, sure but he can chop off a finger break a few ribs castration? As for the gameplay you shoot with your hands and bullet time(yay), punch, and have a kill-everybody-in-the-room button (that must be charged). You fight badies (no bosses really save a helicopter) in a open-world environment so you pick a few baddies off here and there until everybody is dead or you go ham and run into 20 guys. The former is the smartest route so you end up doing that, picking people off, but don't misunderstand it is not like the Batman Arkham games or anything. I mean you kill guys on the outter perimeter and run away and you do that a lot. The open-world!! Let me tell you about that. On the other I needn't. Nothing to say really. It's dull. Then again it is Seattle. Maybe dull is what they were going for. If you like high octane flashy action games and you don't question story logic then this may be your cup of tea.It's about 4-5 hours so keep that in mind.… Expand

    This stand alone DLC is far better than Second Son in terms of story and a more engaging player character. Fetch (Abigail)is far more interesting than Delsin and having 1 expansive power leads to more focused and fun gameplay. The story is about how fetch became involved with the events in seattle that lead upto the DUP occupation and what drives her to be the person she became.

    It's a OK DLC. The story is short and the ability is limited to one. But the movement is more fluent than second son. The side missions can not attract my attention. So I didn't finish all the side missions after the main story.

    Infamous First Light is a prequel to Infamous Second Son and similarly to Farcry Blood Dragon and Assassins Creed Liberation, is built upon the same engine as it's predecessor as a sort of "standalone DLC" though of course the game is also available in physical disc, the game is also quite cheap at only £13 at Amazon (roughly 15-17 dollars in 'murica money).

    So onto the game-play, you play as "Fetch" a conduit with the ability to control neon, which gives her the ability to glide, fly, recover form damage quickly, run at breakneck speed and take on soldiers with hand-to-hand combat easily and if that sounds like a lot of fun, that's because it is, controlling Fetch is easy and intuitive and the game gives you new powers every few levels making what could have gotten very stale very quickly much more fun.
    The game is PlayStation 4 exclusive and like most who share that title, is a very nice looking game, with the city and the people in it (including Fetch herself of course) looking very crisp and attractive, however unlike those who share the title of PS4 exclusive, that isn't all that's going for it, the game has a somewhat predictable yet also quite satisfying storyline with what little characters present all very interesting in their own way.
    However the game does have some fatal flaws, for one the sandbox is small and combined with the fact that Fetch can move more quickly then a cocaine-addicted rhinoceros who just got kicked in the testicles you'll find the city gets far too familiar far too quickly, though of course being able to glide up everything does help soothe this sore. Additionally the generic city NPC's are just that, generic. They have the Saints Row Three problem of repeating the same five character models. While we're on the topic of looking the same, from what I've read there's been accusations that this game is more or less the same as Second Son, which given that they run off the same engine and that Fetch's powers are eerily similar to that of Delsin Rowe, this is most likely correct, so if Second Son made you seethe scorchingly with a sense of stupefying anger than First Light is hardly the salve of satisfaction you'll be looking for.
    In contrast to the theme of dull repetition, the game's enemies (at least the soldiers) are varied and imaginative, with several different classes with several different powers all which give what was originally easier than stealing candy from a corpse a satisfying difficulty curve.
    The game is also quite stumpy, though there is a fair amount of replay value in several arena modes including hostage rescuing, survival and survival against demons. The problem is though that while it's fun the first couple times the game gives you no real desire to play through these endlessly and complete all the challenges, though of course this will vary from person to person.
    All in all the game is a very solid, well-polished piece of fun that provides a nice little (emphasis on little) sandbox, pretty and enjoyable abilities and a reasonably well-done story, while only requiring a meagre sum of money and a half-decent attention-span, I recommend it for more or less everyone. (it is also worth noting that if possible on Metacritic I would have given this game a 7.5)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 9.5 (rounded up to 10).

    One of the things many people didn't like about Sucker Punch's beautiful Infamous:Second Son was its protagonist. Delsin Rowe got more bearable across the course of the game, yet at the atart he appeared to be a cocky, arrogant, unlikeable jerk. Straight away, First Light makes it obvious that what we are about to play will be a very different game indeed. The emotional starting couldn't be further from that of Second Son and the main character (Abigail "Fetch" Walker) is strong, confident and instantly relatable, if a little flawed. Th story of First Light will be fairly well-known if you played the main game, but that won't stop it from pulling on your heart strings. It starts off with Fetch and her brother Brent rocking up to Seattle, before cops and a crazy gang result in their separation. The 4 hour storyline sees Fetch searching for her missing sibling, yet she'll go through a fair amount of shady characters to reach him. The instantly creepy and highly sexist Shane is one and he ends up playing the role of main antagonist. From the beginning right through to the gripping end, First Light is brilliant. While you may know it ends in the horrible death of her brother Brent, the 20 minutes that comes after is just as compelling. The story is divided into four acts, each act broken up by a training session in the (sort of) present day. Fetch is in Curden Cay prison and the villain of Second Son- Abigail- is helping her control her abilities. You learn a new power in these training sessions and it's a good scenario where you can get the hang of things. However, you'll yearn to get back into Seattle from two years ago and continue to explore the narrative in its entirety.

    The gameplay will be instantly familiar if you spent most of Second Son with the Neon power. Fetch can run at the speed of light, yet she's able to pass through most objects like balconies and stairwells. Fetch can slow down time to shoot weak points, yet her blasts are more powerful. She can create a singularity, but you have more control over it so it doesn't feel like an activated cutscene. It's these small changes that make the game better than its counterpart when it comes to gameplay, but then again the use of only one power set does limit your options considerably. Without the constant switches between smoke, neon, video and concrete (but who uses concrete anyway?), the battles feel like they're on a smaller scale and with the sheer amount of extra abilities Fetch has at her disposal, the game also feels easier. I didn't encounter enough enemy variety and without bases, the game loses a bit of difficulty. I completed Second Son on the hardest difficulty option and was up against a big challenge. Across the course of First Light set on hard, I died once and failed two missions. Thankfully, the game comes with challenge arenas to test your skills.

    There are three arenas and the first two have two options available- survival and rescue (the Omega arena only has survival). If you have Second Son save data, you can play all of these arenas four times each with Delsin Rowe available for use. The arenas certainly put your skills to use, with the challenge continuing to amp as you proceed. First gang members, then DUP members and finally angels and demons generated by Eugene (in an off-screen cameo). Every arena has its own goals to complete and objectives to finish and this goes towards trophies (there is a Platinum trophy for those hunters out there!). I loved the challenges idea. Completing random events in Seattle, getting high scores in the arenas and killing enemies in certain ways can result in the completion of challenges and each challenge will give you a certain amount of skill points (which are magnificently stylised as Sucker Punch's logo). The skill points can be spent on upgrades, which range from a longer neon bar to a new finishing move. I hadn't maxed out the upgrades system by the end of the campaign like I did with Second Son, which led to replayability. Of course, you can also get skill points by collecting Lumens (which replace blast shards), completing races, creating graffiti and shooting down cameras (which now require you to use footage, as they move around on drones). I was disappointed that these activities were as repetitive as ever (except the races because the pink clouds that pop up and give you a boost are excellent). This was one of the key gripes I had with Son and another annoying thing about the game was that it restricted you to one island. I missed Chinatown from the base game and would have liked to climb the DUP tower again. I also think that the campaign was too short and that more time should have been put into it, rather than the challenges.

    While First Light falls short of Second Son's greatness due to legacy issues, a small world and the lack of a large campaign, for $20 it provides a nice amount of innovation and more Infamous- which is always good!    … Expand

    This is not a standalone title to be judged on a whole as an individual game. You'd have to be an idiot to do so. Unfortunately, a lot of the articles I've read are written by such morons. Kotaku in particular had one of the densest, most brain-dead reviews I've read in a long time. Their whole site is full of horrible, culturally biased writing so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

    I digress. This is not a standalone game, it is an expansion of an existing story. A nice enough spin on the formula to make it entertaining and fun but it's a small, inexpensive trip. Anyone expecting it to rework the style or add tons of new features is living in a fantasy world. This is amazing for what it is, a side-story. You get vastly more content than you would from many $20 DLC packs- a good 7-8 hours of gameplay if you want to go for platinum.

    This game is akin to Blood Dragon for Far Cry 3. No original software required, reworks the original formula in a pared down but still entertaining way and offers a ton of gameplay for very little money.    … Expand

The detail of the map is still great and I personally love how the colourful stream of light follows you as you run and you can turn around and see the stream which formed through the route that you just took. The story takes between 4 and 5 hours to complete. Laura Bailey's performance as Fetch is just as good as she was in Second Son. The graphics are stunning.
    The arenas are of course the biggest addition to inFamous First Light which lets you fight waves of enemies in an arena which feels very arcade like and I found it very addictive to get a good highscore.
    In closing, this game is great value for money at 15 Euro/Dollars and everyone should play this, You don't need Second Son to play this if you didn't already know but you get to play as Delsin in the arenas if you still have your save file.

    This DLC is exactly what i wanted and more giving us a good look into Fetch's past and giving us some great (much needed) character development. All the characters are great I'd go as far to say the story is even better than Second Sons. The gameplay is well fleshed out, while not being as intense as second son's it still holds that really fun fast paced-ness of the second son even withThis DLC is exactly what i wanted and more giving us a good look into Fetch's past and giving us some great (much needed) character development. All the characters are great I'd go as far to say the story is even better than Second Sons. The gameplay is well fleshed out, while not being as intense as second son's it still holds that really fun fast paced-ness of the second son even with only one power.. The arena is a great addition to the game and adds a lot of playtime and allow you to easily test out and play more easily with your powers. I like how Neon wasn't just a simple copy/paste from second son there was a really big difference between the two and you can really see what neon can do. I would have liked to see a good/evil karma system in place but i can understand why they didn't put it in. Overall for 15 bucks i got more than my moneys worth.
    personally i really hope that they made more standalone's for Eugene and the other 2 conduits    … Expand

    This is basically more of the same. If you liked Infamous second son, there is no doubt that you will like that one. I enjoy how you can run without an end when you active the run sequence. I also love the pink rays left behind Fetch for a good 20s when you ran in a zone.
    The only negative thing I could say about this DLC/expansion/standalone is: Too short!

    It won't take long to complete but has some replayability and is a very solid playing stand alone dlc. Fetch is awesome as the protagonist in this and she handles like a new Cadillac, and there is a platinum trophy. It is definitely worth the money.

    It's just a pity Fetch doesn't break from Second Son's tired mission design a little more. [Nov 2014, p.91]

    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]
