The levels are sizable with plenty of intel, docs, comics and audio recordings scattered around for you to discover - many that have daunting and mysterious messages left behind, giving the game more depth. The 'Owl' was greatly implemented here and will save you from throwing your controller from the sudden difficult spike. While there are times that you think you can stealth your way through areas, often times you are too easily discovered or all the enemies in the area must be cleared in order to proceed - which is something Guerrilla Games should have considered or worked on more properly. Shadow Fall will challenge you in certain occasions which will become frustrating but at the end, gifting you with the satisfaction of success. She will play an important role in the game. Unique and unromantic as it may seem, it's a nice change from the always-war-torn-dude-bro setting Killzone is famous (Or infamous) for. While their relationship is nowhere close to Romeo and Juliet, it is interesting to see how they grow as comrades seeking a common role, all to protect their respective races from annihilation. It starts out as hostility between the two characters but her desperate struggle to have Vekta and Helghan come in unison, forces her to rely on you with of course, hints of distrust. While, Kellen travels to uncover secrets the VSA is trying to cover, he is accompanied by an ally who wishes to stop a potential catastrophe between the two nations. While she harbors hatred towards the ones responsible for what happened three decades ago, her main concern is the survival and acceptance of her race but with tensions rising among both parties, things might not go as she wishes - pushing her to ponder on a more drastic decision. Hera Visari, the new counselor of the remnants of Helghan, tries to push for peace and equality. New Helghan! Don't be fooled by it's appearance, it's quite depressing up-close. Their desperation outcries a rebel movement that jeopardizes the stability of everyone as a whole, giving the VSA more of a reason for an intervention. Like I mentioned before, the majority of it's citizens are living in hardship and poverty due to Vektan sanctions. But of course not all of them are like that. Even to their own people, the Helghast treat them not much better than garbage, at least to those who have 'betrayed' their own kin. Helghan soldiers and higher authority never fail to show you why they are ruthless. The topic can be debated, making this universe intriguing.īut this isn't a 180 change to make the Helghast look like the victims. You can't really say which side is right. In general, both sides have been at the wrong. They both have a history, one that does not favor the Helghan people but deeply digging through the roots will paint a different story and how they came to be. If you've followed the story of Killzone, you can't blame them for showing such discrimination towards the Helghast. The Vektan people are finally described in better detail which is not all too peachy and then some if you find the audio logs throughout the game. The higher ups have an agenda that is inhumane with you being the one to clean things up for them, heck even the sanctions are causing your neighbors grievances and hardship. Killzone: Shadow Fall shows you the dark side of your own people.
