Infamous: First Light (2014, PS4) - Neon Night Rider
Often, downloadable story content in single player games feels either tacked on and lazy (Mass Effect 3's Omega) or something that should have been included in the first place (Asura's Wrath's entire final chapter.) Some companies do manage to get it right; Dark Souls' Artorias of the Abyss content is among the game's best, and the Left Behind side story in The Last of Us is wonderfully made. First Light, a downloadable prequel for Sucker Punch Production's Infamous: Second Son, manages to take things even further and surpass the base game in many ways.

Infamous: Second Son (2014, PS4) - Smug Superhero Saves Seattle
Super hero games are big business, from the countless mediocre movie tie-ins to the well crafted, extremely popular Batman: Arkham series to the ridiculous satire of Saints Row IV. While it's always fun to play around in a familiar setting (even when the game's not great), it's refreshing to see large scale games centered around a newly created world, something Sucker Punch Productions did when they launched Infamous for the PS3 in 2009. The game was well received and got a sequel in 2011, closing off the story of Cole MacGrath,the hero of the first two titles. With 2014's Infamous: Second Son, the series moves to the PS4, to the west coast, and to a new hero, Delsin Rowe.
