Review - inFAMOUS: First Light

inFAMOUS: Second Son became an instant favourite when it launched on PlayStation in February of this year, thanks to engaging gameplay, a huge map and plenty of variety in terms of hero Deslin’s super powers.

In a bid to capitalize on the success of that title, developer Sucker Punch has released a standalone expansion, First Light, which focuses on the enigmatic Fetch, an previously unplayable character.When we met Fetch in Second Son she was taking down drug dealers as revenge for the death of her brother, and it was a well-crafted back-story for one of the more interesting characters in the game.In fact, if we were to have a gripe with Second Son, it’s that Deslin was a poor lead. He lacked any real personality, and felt too bland to do his powers justice. In First Light, which takes place beforeSecond Son, Deslin is nowhere to be found, and instead we’re treated to flashbacks of Fetch’s earlier days, as well as “present day” (read: before Second Son) sections featuring chief antagonist Constantine.
