inFamous: First Light is a single-player action game with a gripping story. Players control Fetch, a superpowered woman held in a special prison, as she has to confront her past and seek revenge against those who wronged her. The game takes place in the snowy setting of Curdun Cay and the city of Seattle.
- First Light offers a great standalone experience with a focused story and character development for Fetch, making it enjoyable for fans of the inFAMOUS series.
- The game features engaging combat mechanics and vibrant visuals, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
- Challenge maps and competitive arenas provide additional content and replayability, making the game more than just a short story.
- The main story is quite short, typically taking only 4-6 hours to complete, which may leave players wanting more.
- Missions can feel repetitive and lack variety, leading to a less engaging experience compared to the main game.
- Some players may find the absence of the karma system and the overall narrative depth disappointing.
story33 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story of "Infamous: First Light" is a focused and character-driven exploration of Fetch's backstory, providing her with significant character growth and a deeper understanding of her relationships, particularly with Brent. While the narrative is praised for its emotional depth and engaging protagonist, it suffers from repetitive missions and a lack of innovation compared to its predecessor, "Second Son." Overall, the game offers a compelling but brief storyline that may feel familiar to returning players.
“First Light is a great story with a better character, and fans of Second Son who want more Second Son, First Light is worth playing. It's fun, it's got a bit of a dark tone, believe it or not, and the arenas in the game are so addicting as well.”
“The only thing missing is the karma feature, which is not really needed for Fetch's backstory, which gives her much-needed character growth, and we finally figure out who Brent is.”
“A familiar but powerful origin story.”
“Unfortunately, the missions are pretty repetitive and weigh down the experience a fair bit.”
“[weak story filled with underdeveloped characters, uninteresting mission design]”
“[ham-fisted dialogue and characterizations, exploitable powers suck all the tension from combat, uninspired mission design]”
Infamous: First Light Review
For newcomers, Infamous: First Light serves as a taste of the full experience in Second Son, complete with its highs and lows. Existing fans looking for more content will get the most out of this downloadable title, but will be disappointed that some of the concerns were not addressed.

90%Infamous: First Light Review (PS4)
Infamous: First Light is a pretty great standalone expansion that manages to deliver a much nicer character than Delsin with more fleshed out powers. Unfortunately, the missions are pretty repetitive and weigh down the experience a fair bit. However, the challenge rooms and the touching story make up for them, to some extent.
