Despite its age, Retribution is technically still in beta on PS4, but what’s here will hardly have you holding your breath in anticipation of what’s to come. ...Perhaps it would be different if Zombie had been more lenient with its economy, allowing you to try more before committing to buy. Retribution may be free to play, but you’re also free to walk away. Right now, in the interests of saving both time and money, that’s the smarter option.
Temper your expectations, however, and you can squeeze a reasonable amount of entertainment from Retribution without paying a cent. ...Strapped for cash and looking for something punchy to play on your PS4? Blacklight: Retribution has its fun moments to balance out the frustrating ones. But with a few unpleasant quirks, some missing features, and a borderline draconian pricing model, it's hardly a must-have shooter for kicking off the new wave of current-gen gaming.
Blacklight: Retribution is a tried-and-true shooter running on an aging, but dependable engine, though the mere mention of F2P is sure to send people running the other way. I’d prefer a retail release to cut the middleman out but I can live with the microtransaction structure as long as it isn’t critical for success. Blacklight is more than worth the price of admission and stands tall in the online multiplayer shooter arena on the PS4.
