It’s pretty much a gravity vortex that picks up all of your enemies, a car or two, a bunch of trash cans, maybe a nail-ridden 2×4 or several, and finally ends in a spectacular explosion of pink and blue that leaves the streets of Seattle riddled with corpses. Her Singularity attack is the most brutal thing I’ve seen come out of a video game in the past months though. Fire bolts of neon at guys to break face, shoot waves of stasis fields to stun enemies, launch heat-seeking missiles of neon from your fingertips, and slow time to target weak points on enemies for one shot kills – pretty straightforward stuff. The ranged combat works like you’d expect it to. When you melee attack targets it looks like Fetch is just girl slapping them, but during an actual combo it gets a little more flashy, she actually tells you in the game that she bases her moves on fight scenes she’s seen in anime (she seems like a real Ghost in the Shell girl to me). Rook and hit him with a finisher kick to the jaw I get a shot of dopamine straight to the brain. Combat, for the most part, is extremely satisfying. When you’re dashing along at light-speed you can’t turn on a dime, momentum carries over from releasing your sprint in midair, and gravity seems to be an actual thing in this game. Movement is very responsive and realistic. The motion control comes into play when tagging a wall with some sick neon graffiti that’s tied in with her story/personality. The touchpad in the center of the controller is used as a sort of action/interact button that lets Fetch interact with a few missions and items throughout the world such as neon signs so she can recharge her energy reserves. The DualShock 4 controller may be another one of those gimmicks, but it sure doesn’t feel like it. I know that a lot of games are guilty of buying into gimmicks early in a console’s infancy. By the end of the game, the story that Sucker Punch so eloquently spun for me had me loving Abigail as if she were my sister. Though, that may not be the case if you’ve already played Second Son.
These small glimpses into her past always made me look at her in a different light every single time a new piece was added to the puzzle. after the discovery of Abigail being a Conduit (a person that has superhuman powers in the inFamous universe), her decent into heroin addiction, the plan for the both of them to escape to Canada and start a new life – it’s all outlined in the cutscenes. Her escape from her childhood home with her brother when her mom called the D.U.P. facility give the most information on her life before the game takes place. Most cutscenes in between the Flashbacks and the D.U.P.

The story itself is told through a series of flashbacks that Abigail has while she undergoes training at the Department of Unified Protection’s (D.U.P.) prison. Sucker Punch did a fabulous job of developing Abigail’s character throughout the story so much that I’d rival it to Dom’s progression in the Gears of War trilogy. I don’t want to spoil the specifics of the story for you, but it consists of: betrayal, theft, betrayal, heroin, betrayal, and an even bigger pile of betrayal heaped on top – kind of akin to a cherry on a sundae, if the sundae was insanely smaller than the cherry. Naturally, a punk rock girl that can shoot bolts of super heated neon gas from her hands, who’s looking for her brother so that she can prevent a looming psychotic break that would cause her to level the entire city of Seattle and the guy that knows exactly where said brother is located end up in a sort of partnership. The only thing that is standing in his way are those pesky Russians that snagged her brother from the docks. Then, one of the game’s most interesting characters stumbles onto the dock: a wily Texan with the aim to become Seattle’s top drug king-pin. One short skirmish with the police, and a few dead Russian mobsters later Abigail’s brother, Brent, gets kidnapped by said Russians.
as she and her brother load up a small speed boat with a few duffel bags while they banter back and forth about a cat. The story starts with her on a small marina in the city of Seattle, W.A. From start menu to credits, Abigail did not disappoint. This title had a wonderfully fantastic narrative.
