    Une catastrophe en tout point, rien ne va !
    Une vrai purge sur PS5 meme les graphismes sont moches vu que le jeu ne s'affiche quand 1080p max alors sur un écran 4K c'est une bouillie de pixel

    Sin problemas este es el peor exclusivo de Sony, aún siendo un juego de lanzamiento del PS4 sus gráficas son horribles y su doblaje latino no tiene alma, aparte de mecanicas lentas e historia aburrida.

    Worse than its predecessor, Killzone 3 (a great game). Worse than its counterpart released for PS Vita, Killzone Mercenary. Killzone Shadow Fall really feels like the downfall of the franchise. Impressive graphics, but short and slow gameplay, with few clashes, bad story, multiplayer with no incentive to return, exclusion of the common split-screen modes of its predecessors.

    This is a mediocre game that is absolutely ruined by the lazy and frustrating level design in the last level of the game. It's like Guerilla ran out of time and released it without doing any QA on the final level. Avoid this game at all costs, even though you can get it for virtually nothing these days, it is not worth your time.

    It looks nice, but it’s sooo badly made I couldn’t believe it. You have the drone with an attack mode that… wont attack. It hovers around the target being shot at and dies. You have the drone that deploys a temporary shield… underground. Some people say these can sometimes get fixed by restarting your PS4, but it’s not worth it.

    Please, if you are thinking of playing this game in 2021, just don´t do it. It´s very boring in my opinion. It´s one of this ordinary shooters, boring weapons, the same missions like every game in this category (escort, destroy 3 tagets etc.) FInding my way through this videogame was awful.

    This game sums up perfectly a series that never came close to being what it wanted to be. Halo. Even its best entry "Killzone 2" comes nowhere near the greatness of Halo and its weakest entries.

    The game is one of the generic ones with a gameplay more or less and graphics slightly above the average of most. It's a bad story and a Battlefield 4-style multiplayer worsened, a real pay to win.
    You really can't believe that Guerrilla games later made Horizon Zero Dawn. This game Killzone shadow fall I do not recommend forgettable game to anyone.

    Killzone: Shadow Fall is a big disappointment to the series (insert I’ve played every Killzone here). There is very little I can say positive about this trainwreck of a game besides that I finished it and never have to play it again.

There is very little I can say positive about this trainwreck of a game besides that I finished it and never have to play it again. You can definitely tell that the A-list development crew at Guerilla was working on Horizon Zero Dawn at the time, because the only parts that weren’t clunky, visually or gameplay-wise, were the parts shown as a tech demo during the PS4 launch or E3.

    The story is the biggest joke since the end of Killzone 3 and the destruction of Helgan. There are absolutely no likeable characters (main or side) and the main character’s adoptive father should have been the main antagonist because he was grating to have to deal with in any situation.

    For gameplay the main mechanic is shooting, (you know in a FPS, someone should inform Guerilla Games) which works more like a generic COD shooter than a Killzone game. There is no weight behind your movements or your melee attacks. It just feels slippery. The animations at some points just don’t exist for ‘cut-scenes’ (at one point the doctor who is talking to me screams ‘NO!’ with absolutely no facial or lip movement whatsoever, not to mention the terrible voice acting that accompanied this scene) which completely pull you out of the game. At one point in the 2nd level of the game, in the core they actually put in platforming into a FPS, which is as bad as it sounds. You have to jump across walkways as they collapse to escape the ship in a first person view so you have no way to judge your jumps. Then for some reason the tutorial level also exists in the fourth level of the campaign when the tutorial cues start telling you how to jump, crouch, and aim as though you haven’t just done three levels (about 3-4 hours of tedium) worth of it! Great work from Guerilla’s D-team.

    A lot of the gameplay consists around sneaking around the map with ‘stealth’, which the AI can see you perfectly, mainly through walls and behind cover, making stealth useless. Also, the level design doesn’t help as there are traps and cameras that’ll make the whole map aware of your location. And you’ll have to one man army it through the whole Helgan army with only your trusty OWL at your side. Now how about that OWL robot, don’t even get me started. It’s a great idea but, once again, gameplay-wise it doesn’t work. Most of the time when he’s supposed to revive you, he can’t reach you, despite hovering right on top of you. And when you send him to shoot at enemies, you’ll find him shooting at a wall. You’ll start to wonder if he’s working with the enemy.

    A strange thing I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but if a grenade goes off next to you while you’re aiming, your camera will go spinning like a top uncontrollably and stare straight at the ceiling, which is one of the biggest physics glitches I’ve ever seen in a FPS.

    If you want a game that Killzone: Shallow Fall should have been like, play Titanfall 2’s campaign, or if you want a better (and graphically superior) game made by Guerilla’s A-team that was in development at the same time, play Horizon Zero Dawn. Stay away from Killzone: Shadow Fall, it’s not worth your time, even if you can play it for free, especially if you’re a Killzone fan (insert I’ve played every Killzone here).    … Expand

The story is also terrible and becomes "war bad" in the last missions (I think a couple of moral choices and different endings would've made the game better).
    The multiplayer is obviously dead, which makes a platinum unobtainable. (I wonder why the devs keep putting these f*cking online trophies in their games).    … Expand

    As a launch title, it's fine. I picked this up for cheap used and eh, its not for me. While a lot of effort has been put into the way this game looks, its probably my least favourite FPS.

Graphics are amazing,but are graphics enough to be a good game? No! Where are all the fun of games nowadays? Gunplay irritating sometimes,and all in all is a frustrating game! Fuc** you Guerrila and sony

    Los gráficos son hermosos, de ahí nada mas. El sistema de disparos no se siente bien, tampoco cuando te disparan a ti mismo. El doblaje al español es malo, el funcionamiento del entorno esta mal diseñado, es fácil perderse mas aun cuando los lindos gráficos hacen que sea vital usar el sonar para ver a los enemigos, porque si no, vas a disparar mas al entorno que a los propios enemigos.

Los ataques a melé dan risa, si hace la animación, es normal, pero cuando no, solo ves caer el cadáver del enemigo con unas físicas de muñeco de trapo peor echas que en half - life 2. Dentro del juego hay una opción de bloquearlo a 30 fps. Porque alguien haría eso? fácil, porque el juego tiene caídas de fps. Funciona a 60fps, miras a un lado, PUM 30. Es molesto, marea y con el tiempo te da una mala experiencia.

    Solo vale la pena si lo obtienes gratis, tal vez en los 7 días gratis del PS Now o te lo ganaste de alguna forma, si no. Mejor ni lo toques, al día de hoy hay varios fps en ps4 con hermosos gráficos Y A 60 FPS. Y lo mas importante, divertidos.    … Expand

    Single player. This has got to be the most annoying console game I've ever played. The controls are awkward, the gameplay - repetitive. I mean fighting off waves after waves after waves of the same enemies who just keep coming... Come on! It's like developers weren't allowed to play any game in the last 10 years or so... And the graphics - Uncharted 1-3 look way better than that!

    Shadow Fall is a beautiful game, but its story is bad. There isn't an Helghast Campaign, play again like an ISA operative is very boring. The scenarios are uninspired, the IA is bad, some flying moments are very nasty.

    The Multiplayer is very generic and bland, because there are only 24 players in little scenarios, not vehicles, not jet-packs, not Exos.

    In attempting to juggle so many balls at once, it simply loses control and bats them all over the place in a crazed, lurching frenzy as it tries to stop the whole thing from falling apart.

    Whatever the reason was for making Shadow Fall in the first place, the result is a mixture of bland, annoying and weird.
