Killzone Shadowfall is one of the PS4's leading exclusives, so it's not surprising that Sony wants to capitalise on that. However, the latest downloadable content for the title may only succeed in polarising players. It has its good points, adding to the entire experience, but it does feel like it could have done something better. The best thing it brings is co-op play for up to four players. It pits the team against wave after wave of the Helghast, who are controlled by AI and determined to eliminate you. Each player can take on a class, from medic and marksman to assault and the tactician, who all have their own skills and strengths. And make no mistake: it's all about the team. It's your team score that counts, rather than the individual player. While Intercept overall is a great game, the main problem is that it can feel a little repetitive after a while. But still: four new maps to play on has to be a good thing, right?
