Overall gameplay is very similar to Infamous Second Son; players complete levels, defeat enemies and finish side missions in a near identical way to Second Son. Played in a third-person perspective, players control 'Fetch', a young "conduit" who possesses superhero-like 'Neon' powers. With a few exceptions, Abigail's powers play identically to Delsin Rowe's Neon powers, but First Light introduces several new features. In Neon races Abigail can chase down floating balls of Neon gas and Conduit energy called "Lumens" that reward her with skill points to increase her powers. The graffiti mini game from Second Son is present.
