I picked up Killzone Shadow Fall as a "WTF" purchase a couple days ago. For those of you unfamiliar with the title, it's a futuristic FPS taking place on another planet in the year 2300 (or something).
This game is your typical FPS, killing waves and waves of enemies. However, it has a lot of complimentary elements that really show off the next gen capabilities. You have a little robotic assistant called an OWL. It will fly ahead and scout, stun or shoot enemies, revive you if you're carrying first aid kits, (with adrenaline) and it hacks alarms and doors. It will also expedite your journey by firing zip lines.
You can immediately tell that this game was the one that was developed to really show what the PS4 could do. It may have been rushed a bit, however. I've noted a few weird glitches. One of which are your feet. Seriously, if you stand on anything uneven and look down, your feet spaz out and it looks like you are river dancing.
The aesthetics in this game are really what sells it. The scenery is just beautiful and the game makes sure to show it off on some long cut-scenes where you're just flying from point A to point B. You'll fly over a huge city and see every little detail.
The AI: now then, it's not the dumbest I've ever encountered... The OWL does a great job at recognizing what I want it to do. The enemies are actually a bit challenging but they don't organize themselves well. They'll come at you at different angles at times and surprise you if you don't use your "super stealthy secret sonar" enough. The sonar will actually make the enemies glow from a distance, taking a page right out of the game Resistance 2, Fall of Man.
This gives you the opportunity to sneak up and dispatch them before they have a chance.
Overall, he AI is pretty good.
The battlefields: each level gives you a few directives to follow. You can ignore some of the side missions, should you choose. However, I have found them to be worth completing so far. I've found myself getting a little lost on how to complete goals. For instance: door A is locked and it doesn't give me any indication that it will open once I complete some random task because it looks like every other door.
I complete said task. Now I'm wandering about for ten minutes wondering wtf is next.
I go back to door A and it's magically open. The ****?

Graphics: they're about the best you're going to get.

Replay-ability: easily replayable. The levels are huge and take a long time to get thru.

Storyline: this is a big MEH. I haven't completed the game yet and I can definitely tell what's going to happen. The characters are stale.
All in all I give this one a 7 out of 10. The graphics really help it out here. The gameplay is smooth and the price of the game is cheap since it's been out a while now.
I'd recommend it as a good time waster while you're drinking beer with nothing to do.
