I enjoyed the hell out of Black-light Retribution on PC, so when I saw that it was being brought to PS4 I immediately made my choice of next-gen system. Luckily, it did not disappoint, and I've been playing it like mad in the past 2 weeks.… Expand

You can not spend a dime and still kick ass in the game. When it first launched in November 2013 it was laggy but now everything runs a lot smoother. I prefer Blacklight: Retribution over Call of Duty and Battlefield 4. It's just more fun and to this day I have not got tired of it.
   
   If you do spend money spend a good amount to support the Developers that spend a lot of time working on this great game. More content will come down the line.
   
   My PSN ID is: TheRiseOfHelghan
   
   I'm a top skilled player in Blacklight: Retribution and I do my kills mostly with my gun that isn't overpowered and I don't rely on help (tossing grenades, jumping in a Hardsuit robot, using rocket launchers, hiding behind shields, calling in Airstrikes to take out opponents, nor using guns that 1 shot kill).
   
   Add me if you're a good player and you can do kills mostly only using your primary gun.
   
   I give this game a 10/10!… Expand

   About a year after launching on the PC, Blacklight: Retribution has finally made its way to the PlayStation Store. For those of you who aren'tAbout a year after launching on the PC, Blacklight: Retribution has finally made its way to the PlayStation Store. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Blacklight series, they're essentially a collection of "free-to-play" first person MMO's. The series has never really caught on, however, in a time when great games like Planetside 2 and TF2 dominate the free-to-play FPS market. Despite this, Zombie Studios has nevertheless decided to rerelease the series's latest release, Blacklight: Retribution, on the PS4. Unfortunately, Blacklight's debut on the PS4 suffers from much of what crippled it in in the past. The game of what crippled it in the past Even with a solid connection, the game will occasionally lag, and finding a match often took several minutes. Considering the game is still in its beta phase, these flaws are understandable, although they do make the game feel rushed. As is the case with most free-to-play games, Retribution sports a pay-to-win philosophy. In other words, you provide the cash, and the game provides the weaponry. This aspect drastically changes the experience, as even the most skilled players are mauled down by recruits with heavy arsenals. However, once you get past the rather unfair side of Retribution, the game can actually be quite fun. Great map design and well though out game types make Retribution worth checking out. In terms of visuals, Retribution looks great for a free-to-play, but poor for a next generation title. Textures lack in detail, and none of the environments stand out. If there's one thing in Retribution that looks great, its the guns. Each weapon has its own feel and look, adding to the experience. Overall, Retribution doesn't disappoint, but it doesn't stand out either. If you some free time, and are craving a quick multiplayer match, look no further than Blacklight: Retribution.… Expand

If you want the real game, play it on pc. Stutters like crazy, turn into invisible walls when running, warping all over the map, and no, it's not my internet, it's this crappy port of a game. I was excited for this on ps4 as well, but the ps4 can't handle it.… Expand
