There's much more to this game than the basic squad-based Conquest action you might expect from an online shooter, but those first hours do so little to explain or even suggest what lies in store that you may find yourself bouncing off its hard metal exterior.
This is still a game that makes few concessions for new players, bombarding you with icons, mission updates and map markers but pretty much leaving you to figure things out for yourself.Īs such, your initial time spent in PlanetSide 2 is a real sink or swim experience. Obtuse and overwhelming, PlanetSide 2's gargantuan free-to-play MMOFPS arrives on PlayStation 4 virtually undiminished from its PC incarnation.
