As the gaming world rages over the lack of playable female characters, Sucker Punch has quietly gone about finding its own solution. And it's a damned satisfying one too.
A spin-off from this year's excellent neon adventure Infamous: Second Son, First Light is a stand-alone, six-hour origin story focused on Second Son's assassin and former drug addict, Fetch.
Complex and compelling, Fetch's arc cuts between her Seattle-based beginnings living on the streets and her training - and subsequent escape - from those evil conduit-hating DPU agents.
It's here that First Light really comes into its own, with explosive snow-drenched scenery providing a nice contrast to the dimly lit urban carnage found elsewhere.
