The game also tries to add to its running time with some new challenge arenas where you can grind enough experience points to unlock every single new power. Races are naturally more fun thanks to Fetch’s neon powers and the optional missions to rescue hapless civilians or stop drive-by shootings are one of the few times the game reminds you of its comic book aspirations.
These were the absolute worst parts of Second Son, but they’re actually slightly better here. This is quite fun the first time until you realise that, in lieu of any other new ideas, the game is going to keep reusing it again and again.įirst Light lasts around four hours, although that does depend how many of the side quests you do. Occasionally there’s an escort mission or sniping section but the only thing that stands out from the first game is several sequences where you stand on the roof of a van blowing up pursuing bad guys.
That same problem remains true here, with the majority of story missions involving simply killing everyone at a certain location. The real problem with Second Son though was the lack of variety and imagination in its story missions. The plot is all extremely predictable though (literally if you recall her introduction in the original) and as Fetch starts working for Brent’s underworld contact the game serves up an equally unsurprising series of stock missions.Ĭuriously there are no moral choices though, which is fine as they were always patronisingly simplistic – but they were meant to be a key part of the franchise. The main story revolves around Fetch looking for her brother Brent, who she loses contact with as the pair are planning to leave for Canada with the ill-gotten gains of some super-powered robberies. Her powerset has a few more abilities this time round, some of which aren’t unlocked until you beat the story, but despite all the neon special effects they don’t really amount to much more than being able to run up walls and fire what are essentially laser beams and missiles.
