I honestly invite everyone to read the Polygon review. I don't normally mind negative reviews that much, as I put little stock in scores and realize that people have different tastes, but the reviewer, Arthur Gies, is just bad. It's obvious from the opening, where he puts Halo up on a pedestal while attempting to malign the entire Killzone franchise, that he didn't want to like Shadowfall. He nit-picks everything that can be nit-picked, whines about being shot at, whines that he's not a straight-forward hero where one side is Goodness, Unicorns, and Rainbows, and complains more than once that the game doesn't hold his hand.
He even complains about the feel of Killzone being different from other shooters then complains that it's too much like CoD. I mean, seriously ...
I don't know if Shadowfall is good or not. I haven't played it. It sounds like the kind of game I like, where the environments are open and you have to be cautious or you'll even up dead, but that's just guess-work. However, the Polygon review, for me, came across as a piece by someone who went in with the mind-set that they were not going to like the game. I probably won't be visiting their website or paying any attention to their reviews in the future.
