Review: Killzone: Shadow Fall (PS4)

Killzone PlayStation 4 ReviewReview by Nick H.

Killzone released with serious expectations behind it. After all, along with Knack, it was one of the two retail exclusives the PlayStation 4 had to launch with, and while Knack was at times entertaining, it also fell flat as a 'next gen' experience. This puts even more pressure on Killzone to deliver both critically and commercially (though Knack did outsell Super Mario 3D World, so perhaps it'll be considered a commercial success).

The good news is, Killzone does a far better job of representing Sony's launch aspirations than Knack did. Unfortunately it is not quite the killer experience everyone was likely hoping for either. It hurts that Shadow Fall will be compared to Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4, since all three of these are blockbuster first person shooters that were released at the same time.
