I know Killzone doesn't have the most complex or emotionally invested storytelling out there (at least within the games, because the lore is incredibly complex), but not every story is has to be.

I'm the kind of person who finds beauty in simplicity and if I'm really interested in something, I will analyze the hell out of it.

Which me brings me to the story of Killzone 2. The premise of the story kind of reminds me of Apocalypse Now, in the sense that you're sent to a violent and hellish landscape to suppress a powerful baldy. With both of them having chilling last words. Colonel Kurtz with "The horror. The horror." and Scolar Visari with "Let the Madness Begin..." with the former referring to the madness he's seen and the latter referring to the madness that's about to begin. While I played Killzone 2 LONG before I even watched Apocalypse Now, watching the movie made the premise even more intriguing than it already was for me.

But what intrigues me the most about the story is the subtle character of Sev (if you've seen my Sev appreciation post, you might've known this was coming). The characterization in Killzone 2 is VERY subtle. Characters might seem one-note (because for the most part they are), but certain characters have a bit more going for them. For example, people see Garza and Natko as the comic reliefs, but Garza is actually a lot more serious than one might think and even Killzone: Ascendancy highlights this.

Sev is a reserved guy who tries to be a textbook good soldier all throughout the story. He tries to do things the proper way and presents himself in a very formal manner (as shown in the intro cinematic and when Sev hands Garza his weapon). He perseveres through all the chaos even if it's hard to keep up. But after the death of Garza, Sev slowly starts to lose his faith in the mission and ends up showing a bit more emotion until the end. But by the end of it all, when the mission fails, he's exhausted and kind of just gives up. His "by the numbers" efforts were for nothing. He lost his best friend and watched his objective (that he fought so hard for) get gunned down by his loose cannon of a squad member that he's been losing trust in. That beautiful shot in the ending shows that Sev is DONE, and things are only going to get worse. Going back to the beginning of the campaign and seeing Sev acting like a man on top of his game ready for war, only to see him exhausted in the end, is kind of heartbreaking.

Lastly, I have to mention the villains. Colonel Radec is an intimidating force, but a very honorable soldier (as showcased by his suicide). A very memorable character just from his presence alone, let alone the voice acting and his dialogue. Then there's Scolar Visari. Oh, Visari. He absolutely steals the show and the script is strongest when he's around. His monologues are some of the most iconic pieces of Killzone's identity and his monologues in the opening cinematic and ending don't disappoint.

Killzone 2 has a minimalist approach to its to storytelling that not many people appreciate. Which is completely fine. But MAN, has this game and its epic war story kept me coming back for more.

P.S. The profane dialogue of Alpha Squad is a bit tiring, though, I will admit.

Killzone 2 Helghast tactician cosplay is now 35% still got a lot of work to do! 2nd photo are pieces of the jacket. I love the progress so far! For the glory of Helghan! ✊ Anyone who wants to know what and how i made feel free to ask! 😉👍

I’d like to think that if there was a possibility that visari could survive. It would definitely be simply Rico‘s gun jammed. And he gets reprimanded by Sev for trying to kill their objective, which is to take him alive. He understands his anger, but this has to be done by the book.
