Killzone Shadow Fall is surprisingly durable on higher modes and laughably weak on lower difficulties. OWL is a robotic ally that can disable traps, alarms, and acts as a distraction or second body in a pinch. There are quite a few tools at your disposal, like OWL, and modern weapons that are elegantly designed. Killzone Shadow Fall acts as more of a tactical stealth shooter, and favours positioning than brute force, unlike previous titles. And while you do shoot lots of Helghast, later levels have more interesting enemy types. This is still a Killzone game, and it wouldn’t be Killzone if you weren’t shooting Helghast in the face. But there are excellent character growths and moments that kept my interest right till the end. I was expecting them to just be brainless and killing Helghast for sport. I was actually surprised playing through it how the characters evolved throughout the game. and the player question what you’re doing and why multiple times throughout the game. While not to the levels of Spec Ops: The Line, Shadow Fall does have you questioning your actions. You’re fighting for one planet, rather of all humanity’s freedom, so it’s not as over the top or campy. And while we’re not meant to root for the Helghast, their motives are made much more reasonable.īoth in story and gameplay, Killzone Shadow Fall differentiates itself with its more subdued and relatable atmosphere. Set on Vekta, Shadow Fall tells a tighter and more personal story, with no clear bad side by the end. Killzone Shadow Fall is set against the backdrop of the resistance against the Helghast on their new planet. You play as Lucas Kellan, a Shadow Marshal, a highly trained soldier focusing on stealth and tactical gameplay. Following this, the surviving population moves to their enemies’ home planet of Vekta, officially setting up the plot of the game. Killzone Shadow Fall is a direct continuation of Killzone 3’s ending, with the complete destruction of the Helghast homeworld. How does this classic launch title line up? But I wanted to see how this PlayStation 4 launch title does in today’s generation of consoles. While not the best title in the franchise, Killzone 2 was followed by Killzone 3, it did expand the series’ scope. A PlayStation 4 exclusive and initial launch title, Killzone Shadow Fall was met favorably at release. Welcome back Link Cable Gaming followers, to the never-ending fight between the ISA and Helghast in Killzone: Shadow Fall.
