It's something that you can only see on a PS4. Right at the start, Guerrilla throws in an opening cut scene that shows off the high level of detail of what looks like millions of futuristic skyscrapers glistening in the sunlight just for the sake of showing off. Guerrilla has exploited what the PS4 is capable of and Shadow Fall is packed with next-gen touches. Running at 1080p Shadow Fall looks gorgeous and it is a great looking game in terms of scale.Īpart from the facial animations that do appear a bit stiff, and a few other visual inconsistencies, there weren’t any real flaws and for the most part Shadow Fall is certainly a looker.

While the story takes a subtle approach in the beginning, later on it messes up by relying on overblown action. The story line tries to explore struggles and dogmas of the ongoing struggle between Helgans and Vetkans, and expose the ISA's bureaucratic double standards and the Helghans' cruelty. You play as Lucas Kellen, an ISA shadow marshal who is a both a spy and a super soldier. As we saw with its predecessors, the KillZone trilogy has so far been a rather straight take on war. The opening cut scene sets a consistent tone for the game, swapping an all out war approach for a tense and intriguing plot line. However, this time around, the story leans more towards political conflict and deception. The only thing that now divides the two halves is a massive structure known as The Wall that separates the two civilizations from each other. Following the Petrusite detonation that left the planet Helghan in ashes in KillZone 3, the Vetkans grant refuge to Helghast survivors on the planet Vetka, allowing them to inhabit half the planet.
