Finally, if combat is your thing, there are two score attack style modes to try your hand at - Survival, which simply asks you to see how long you can last against wave after wave of enemies, and Rescue, which is much the same as Survival, only with added pressure, as you'll occasionally have to break off the combat, and hunt down a hostage that's being held somewhere in the giant open arena. If you're after something more structured, you can take on one of the game's story driven missions, which are mostly protection style missions that ask you to defend a certain character or object, but occasionally become a lot more varied - and fun - asking you to hack cameras, or hunt down police security drones. Spot one, and you'll soon find yourself hunting down every spark in the city, as you figure out which building you have to leap off to get close enough to grab it. If you feel like chilling and taking in the sights, you can hunt down over a hundred hidden neon sparks, which are glowing like orbs just out of reach. Set in a small, yet open world Seattle, there's plenty of things to do in Infamous. With an entire city as your playground, there's a lot of fun to be had here, and a definite super hero vibe. With the power to control neon, Fetch is effectively a super hero, who can run up walls with lightning speed, and fire bolts of neon lasers out of her hands. Conduits are humans with the power to control certain elements or materials, and are feared by the populace, and hunted down by an organisation known as the DUP, which wants to imprison them. It helps add more to the game, which is nice since the story’s run time is only about 4 – 5 hours if you bother to do the side content in the city (probably 2 – 3 hours if you just rush through the story.The story centres around Fetch, a young woman on the run after she discovered she was what's known as a conduit. Each arena has a set of challenges that, upon completion, earns you skill points to spend on new abilities or upgrades. soldiers, to a completely new set of demon enemies. Each of the three arenas use a different faction of enemies from common thugs, to D.U.P. You can take Fetch (Or Delsin on the condition that you played Second Son) into one of three different arenas that have you doing things like fighting off waves of enemies or protecting hostages. One big new addition is the challenge arena. While almost all the story missions eventually end with you wrecking some people, it is a lot of fun to go through. You’ll jump from sniping missions, to protecting moving vehicles, to investigating crimes with your phone pretty often. The story itself has some nice variety in playing. None of them are that extensive and most can be finished in a few minutes, but they are nice little distractions from the main story. You can also participate in races to catch flying lumens, use your phone to track and destroy police drones, and create neon graffiti in specific locations. The game spreads gas orbs called lumens for Fetch to collect that give her skill points. The open world is about half the size of Infamous: Second Son, only using the upper half of the Seattle map. While First Light doesn’t have the moral choices that is usual for Infamous games, it does have an open world with side quests for you to do. Fetch may not have the strength that Delsin had but she makes up for it with agility and hit and run tactics.įetch better be getting arrested by the fashion police for that get-up. By the time you’re fully upgraded you’ll have access to various ways to toss people into the air and get them stuck in status fields, powerful melee finishers that you can stock up, and homing missiles that can take out multiple targets. Unlike Delsin it feels like she has much more of a mastery over this power. In First Light you instead switch to Fetch who only has the power of neon. In the main game you played as Delsin, who had basic controls over four different powers. It’s a little lacking in content, but for $15 anyone who was looking to jump back into the Infamous universe should probably look no further.

Infamous: First Light, a stand alone expansion to Second Son, retells Fetch’s story, and does it rather brilliantly. One of the characters you met in the game was the neon slinging Fetch, a former drug addict with a troubled past.

Infamous: Second Son was a very good entry to the Infamous series and helped show off the Playstation 4.
