10 More Video Game DLCs Better Than The Game

2. First Light - Infamous: Second Son

Infamous: Second Son was a solid if ultimately unremarkable PS4 launch title, and while DLC prequel First Light doesn't deviate too far from its predecessor's gameplay template, it does have one major advantage - a far more appealing protagonist.

Second Son's hero Delsin Rowe is obnoxious to a fault, whereas First Light's Fetch is both infinitely more likeable and has a more compelling backstory to boot.

Even though you've only got Fetch's Neon powers at your disposal and it clocks in at just around three hours - roughly half the length of Second Son's main campaign - Fetch's superior personality and more fluid combat and traversal abilities make First Light a brilliantly bite-sized spin-off that's ultimately more fun than the main game.

Couple this with its more streamlined, laser-focused story and the inspired addition of an Arena Challenge mode, and First Light is basically an incremental improvement upon Second Son while ditching most of what didn't work.
