Killzone: Shadow Fall is a beautiful-looking but otherwise undistinguished first-person shooter. In it, your unseen soldier has an attack drone at his disposal, which acts as an ally in firefights as well as providing DIY zip lines and a near-pointless temporary shield. The action’s solid enough but won’t be troubling Call Of Duty’s hegemony. Knack, meanwhile is a third-person action game from the man who led PS4’s creation. It looks pretty, its inoffensive little characters knocking about in a charming retro-futuristic world of hover cars and goblins, but it’s depressingly dull to play, the tactics-free combat a matter of mashing sadly on a single button.
