A straight-forward skill tree gives players an arsenal that becomes seemingly unstoppable. The thrilling speed by which Fetch travels is just plain fun to command, and when they are coupled with the tight combat, players shortly learn that the gameplay in First Light is its biggest draw. Streaking through the city, running up buildings, and dashing from objective to objective never became dull. Regardless of the story, players will ultimately keep playing First Light because of its rock-solid game mechanics.įetch’s neon powers are a joy to use, and are intelligently given to players immediately. The narrative beats are in no way archaic, but they don’t stand out much either, excluding one unpredictable moment in the game’s conclusion. Laura Bailey’s accent is incredibly believable, even as she delivers lines from a boring script. The most redeeming quality of First Light’s tale is its voice acting. The enemies are mobs of look-alike gang members or cops, and the antagonist uses threats to keep Fetch working. Voiceovers and a small number of cutscenes keep the narrative moving forward, but there’s not much keeping it from feeling uninspired. This story arc is told through flashbacks while Fetch is kept under anti-Conduit control in the present – locked away in Curdin Cay, the prison for super-powered individuals introduced in Infamous: Second Son. Thankfully, the game is a blast to play, because its mediocre narrative is not a driving force pushing players towards its mildly interesting conclusion.Ībigail Walker, also known as Fetch, is a raised-on-the streets sass monster who is out to save the only one who keeps her happy: her brother. First Light expertly employs a fun traversal system, varied distractions across its caricature of Seattle, and powers that always keep combat interesting. Infamous: First Light tells the origin story of side-character Abigail Walker, also known as Fetch, from Infamous: Second Son. However, this standalone DLC requires no previous knowledge of Second Son in order to be enjoyable what it does require is a small portion of your time, and a love of solid game mechanics.
