It can also be quite hard figuring out where to go. This would be fine if it was building some emotional connection, which it does try, but that connection is broken once it zooms through time. Shadow Fall takes too long setting things up and it’ll be a good 15-30 minutes before you truly actually get to play the game. The first few missions are extremely boring and will test your patience. Not everything is perfect with the game’s design. Basically, if you really like the campaign, there are plenty of reasons to return to it. There are also audio logs, dossiers, newspapers and other collectible goodies to find. This kind of freedom is very enticing to try and play the game again as there are special trophies given for completing each mission a certain way. You can be stealthy and pick enemies off one-by-one, or you can go in guns-blazing and kill them all off before they hit the alarm. For example, one level puts you in this huge forest and gives you some objective markers. Most environments throughout the game are very open to accommodate whatever play style you prefer. Shadow Fall goes in the complete opposite direction.
Previous titles embraced World War II-Era fighting with lots of trenches and digging-in and ended up being very linear. You’ll be spending 6-8 hours in the campaign on the default difficulty, but there’s plenty more to do. Some are pretty short and others are quite long. Killzone: Shadow Fall is comprised of ten single player missions of varying length. Guerrilla Games took this idea of a reboot farther with their game design. Treyarch is the only other studio you see try and create first-person protagonists with personalities, but theirs never feel quite like real people. Special praise has to be heaped on Lucas Kellan who is not a silent protagonist and whose lines are just stereotypical soldier mumbo jumbo. Guerrilla Games has done a fine job with its characters with only one or two being complete stereotypes. While it is disappointing we never find out what happened to Sev, Rico or Captain Narville, the change in cast was the right decision. The new cast of characters are a welcome change. In the end you can’t really feel for either of the sides because they’re both absolutely terrible. As you play through the campaign it becomes quite clear that Guerrilla wants you to feel for the Helghast, but then the Helghast do something completely terrible to make you hate them. It’s quite a compelling set-up that never truly realizes its true potential.
Along the way he discovers a terrible truth that could destroy either the Vektans or Helghast. His primary objective is to ensure Vektan safety by leading covert missions into Helghast territory and collecting intel. Here you play as Lucas Kellan who, after witnessing a traumatic event in his youth, is drafted into the elite Shadow Marshal program by his mentor Sinclair. On one side live the Vektans with their shiny skyscrapers and on the other side are the Helghast with their dirty sewers. They agree to split the planet in half and separate it by a huge wall. Feeling guilty for the annihilation of Helghan, the Vektan military negotiates a truce with their surviving military. The world of Killzone: Shadow Fall is very different from previous titles. Similarities to World War II have been shed for more of a Cold War feeling and all-out war is replaced with espionage. The game takes place 30 years after the events of Killzone 3 and follows a cast of brand new characters with only one character from the original trilogy returning. Killzone: Shadow Fall feels like a reboot. With the dawn of a new era for PlayStation, is Killzone: Shadow Fall the perfect launch title to suck gamers in, or should shooter fans flock to Call of Duty or Battlefield? Sony has attempted multiple times to make the Killzone franchise its hit shooter franchise, but it has failed to stick. Probably the most hyped and touted game from Sony is Killzone: Shadow Fall. The next-generation of gaming has commenced with the release of the PS4.
