![]() The stats also differ across ships, with them having different bonuses to agility, boost or Overdrive: a devastating move which slows down time and causes massive destruction. First, there’s the Nemesis, which has speedy homing missiles, then the Ferox with it’s fast, long ranged and more powerful lasers, and finally the Phobos whip with its close-ranged attacks. The choice of ship directly affects your weapons. Even the second level – Experienced – can be quite a challenge, so you’ll want to stick to Rookie if you aren’t great at/familiar with these games. There are three different ships to choose from, across four difficulty levels. It definitely sounds tedious and complicated, but when you’re playing and you get into a rhythm of weaving in and out of foes before destroying them, all the while saving humans as you go, it’s simply fantastic. It’s not something that you’ll pick up right away, and you then have to grab the human and take them to an escape pod. These special enemies will glow green and need to be destroyed within a certain amount of time -and occasionally in a specific order- to free a human captive. Essentially, these humans are in jail cells, captured by the enemy overlords – keepers. At face value, it might just seem like a side scrolling space shooter, but you’re tied to 360 degrees around a carousel of sorts, meaning you can swoop around the map and sneak up on enemies from the back, and you’ll face foes on both sides.Īside from the wonderful notion of blowing enemies up as they come from both sides, increasing your multiplayer and the amount of voxels on-screen, there’s a secondary mechanic – involving saving humans – which really takes Resogun to the next level. It’s deceptively and wonderfully complex too. Despite not being a shooter or racing game striving for realism, it’s perhaps the best visual spectacle on the PS4. Resogun is one of the best PS4 titles available at launch.Īnd it feels as though it’s taken all this time just to get here – it’s evolved from side scrolling shooters to create a beautiful symphony of dying enemies exploding into the individual 3D cubes they’re made out of, throwing particles over the screen without a single hint of slowdown. It’s a game at it’s purest: unforgivingly hard, refined and absolutely stunning. Even so, Shadow Fall is easily the best in the series and a good showpiece for what the PS4 is capable of.As we head into a new generation, Resogun blends the past and future of gaming to create something truly wonderful – an old school shooter with a plethora of new tricks up its sleeve. Unfortunately, Killzone is still the story of horrible people doing horrible things to other horrible people, and its relentless nihilism wears on you, particularly when clumsy level design forces you to replay sections over and over until you figure out what it wants you to do. The best addition is the OWL, a drone you control using the PS4 controller’s touchpad, the best implementation of the touchpad so far. ![]() ![]() Set in a more open world than prior entries, it has enough high-tech gadgets, powerful weapons and overwhelming lens flares to make even J.J. Shadow Fall is one of only two first-party retail releases (the other is kiddie platformer Knack, and the less said about it, the better), and the PS4-exclusive shooter is arguably the best-looking of the lot. Sony’s would-be Halo killer was never able to come close to Microsoft’s big gun, but Killzone has carved out its own niche over the years.
