Shadow Fall features some very robust and colorful environments. For example there are vast cityscapes as well as lush forests.

Pro Adventure aspects add to what would be a stale FPS
Being able to scale cliffs, hunt and trap animals, and use ones environment as a weapon against enemies adds to the basics of first person shooting making for a fun adventure game on top of a slick FPS.
Cons
Con Poor non-shooting sections of the game
At certain points of play there will be sections where the player needs to platform or control their character in a zero gravity situation. These are deviations from the shooter gameplay and often feel forced as well as control poorly. While it is nice to see the gameplay broken up a bit so you are not always doing the same thing over and over again, the non gun gameplay just does not feel intuitive, it does not work well with the flow of the game, which basically breaks the players immersion.
Con Environment feels too familiar
While Farcry 1-3 all had different locales that had their own styles, 4 looks much like 3 and is not that much of a departure. For those looking for a different experience it is not going to be found in 4 sadly.
