The games on each console have evolved from pixel bits games with poor graphics, to a more defined and high definition feeling with the quality of picture becoming more important than gameplay. To some gamers, this may show a sign of neglect to the gameplay, rendering certain genre of games worse like shooters and RPG’s.

Along with cutting-edge graphics, the various new features added in this Killzone game adds to the atmosphere the gamers feel.

The new game in the Killzone series is not hard to get into, with gamers being allowed to ease into it with the aiding story and the commands being given within the game. It is mostly missions consisting of the player being alone and trying to penetrate the Helghast army, trying to stop them from harming Dekta. The touchpad on the PS4 controller can be used to full effect with aid of the companion OWL, which is a little levitating robot who has 4 different options to choose from. The OWL can stun opponents, which becomes vital in the game as Helghast warriors develop a shield that requires double the firepower. The OWL can disable alarm systems, which is helpful to keep undercover from the Helghast. It can also attack enemies and also use ropes to help Lucas Kellan glide along levels and being able to transport from places that require the grappling rope. This enhances the experience for gamers, making sure they’re assisted throughout the game and have no difficulty progressing through each chapter without wanting to quit the game.
