10 Severely Underrated PS4 Games That Deserve A Second Chance

6. Infamous First Light

InFAMOUS First Light
Sony

Sucker Punch may look set to bring a new IP to market in the stunning Ghost of Tsushima, but there was another Sony exclusive that used to get PS4 owners really excited.

inFAMOUS hasn't been heard from since First Light dropped in 2014, and that's a massive shame for all concerned. The series, which took inspiration from the superhero genre of comic books, was a staple of the PlayStation 3 before debuting on the current gen with Second Son - a title that managed to nail an average rating of 80 on Metacritic. The sequel's spin-off, First Light, didn't fare as well (even though it probably should have).

Acting as a prequel to Second Son, First Light followed Abigail 'Fetch' Walker (a supporting character from Second Son) in the events leading to her meeting with Delsin. Criticism at the time came down to the fact that, having given players such a wide array of powers in Second Son, only being able to use one of them with Fetch seemingly presented a step-back for the series.

It worked within the context of the story though, and while First Light isn't discussed much these days, it's a worthy addition to the inFAMOUS lore and one worth any fan's attention, especially with the price it's available for these days.
