    Shadow Fall shows what Sony's new machine is able to do in terms of graphics, but behind its beautiful façade there's a by the numbers first person shooter that you won't remember in a few months.

    Средний стелс-шутер который может кому-то понравится, а кому-то и нет. Вообще, для меня было странностью что Killzone в этой части как-то стал стелсом. По прошлым частям я уже ощущал серию Killzone как полноценный шутер, но эта часть меня даже слега огорчила.
    Сама игра меня не заинтересовала, но это не значит что она не понравится никому.

    The game has great design visuals and graphics, but this is negated by broken gameplay with no clearly defined rules that seems obsolete and terrible writing. Very average and does not stand near predecessors.

    This game has some really cool mechanics but the story is pretty much garbage and the campaign gets really boring fast. I found myself just wishing the mission would end. That's not a good thing. But I was really impressed with the multiplayer. It turned out to be actually be really fun!

    I don’t know how the studio who made Horizon Zero Dawn also made this game. While the gunplay and graphics are fine, a lot of other elements of the game are just not that satisfying. The drone isn’t that useful, especially the shield and zip line which most of the time was unavailable. The d-pad functions are annoying to use and the audio logs are text only? What is that?

    A game with great graphics compared to the year it was released. It starts off well as a story, but I didn't have an emotional depth. He had a lot of shortcomings as a side character. It was lacking in introducing the side characters, which were few. But the story is not bad.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (7) Average. The game’s feature may work, but are nothing that even causal players haven’t seen before

    This was my first Killzone game and I was looking forward to trying it out. The only thing I like about this game was the opening mission. There was so much color in the first mission and it was graphically perfect. Then the rest of game you’re in dark corridors the entire time until the end of the game. Campaign was a little interesting but not much there. Gun controls were fine but not as smooth as other competitive shooter games.

    Is Killzone: Shadow Fall as bad as some reviewers say it is? I don't think so. The gunplay is solid, the graphics are nice, and the AI is competent and some of the characters have good voice acting. But I will admit its faults. First, the story is weak. The playable character is uninteresting ad has a mediocre voice actor. The writing is subpar compared to the other three Killzone games.Is Killzone: Shadow Fall as bad as some reviewers say it is?

The playable character is uninteresting ad has a mediocre voice actor. The writing is subpar compared to the other three Killzone games. It tried to be more open than the other Killzone games, but I only saw it in two, maybe three of the 10 chapters the campaign had. You can only carry two weapons at a time, which is a step down from Killzone 3. And worst of all, the story ends in a cliffhanger which may never be resolved. I think it was rushed to be a PS4 launch title and it shows. I didn't experience any glitches or crashes, so that's a plus. Technically well-executed, nice graphics, decent gunplay and competent enemy AI can't help this game's flawed story. That's why Killzone: Shadow Fall gets a final score of 5/10. It's an AVERAGE game.

    Might have judged this differently on release, but only played it in 2021 as a cheap second-hand game and was not expecting anything.

    Was my first Killzone game, and for $5-10 it really good value. Nothing spectacular about it, just a good, solid shooter that kept me interested, probably got 20-30 hours on it a minimum, playing on hard. There were some difficult passages, but

    Fantastic looking game. This 8 year old game looks good even by today's standards. Level design is excellent and creative. Guns feel good. The basic FPS elements are quite solid.

    So what brings it down? Enemy variety is lacking. Enemies are repetitive, and some of them, like shielded enemies, are quite annoying. It's not so much that they're challenging, but they break the flow

    So what brings it down? Enemy variety is lacking. Enemies are repetitive, and some of them, like shielded enemies, are quite annoying. It's not so much that they're challenging, but they break the flow of the game, since you have to use special mechanisms to disable them before you can hurt them. There aren't a lot of bosses to fight. Mission design, outside of the environmental design, is quite poor. Mission tasks are often non-specific, and you're left wondering where you're supposed to be going, or what platform you have to stand on to get to the next sequence. In one part I wasted at least an hour trying to get through a seemingly impossible fight, not knowing that I'm supposed to actually get into a turret that just pops up midway through the battle where I can't see it. Very frustrating.

    Also the story is pretty bad. I don't play FPS games for the story, but this goes beyond the usual cliched war story hijinks, as the ending to the game is quite abrupt and senseless. I can appreciate non-traditional storytelling, but I think most people will be put off that the game doesn't have a real narrative arc. Things just seem to happen randomly.

    This game was a get in and get out type of game. Can't customize anything and the game became boring after awhile. Story wasn't that great either, but it did have some good missions and cut scenes, also OWL can be a big help at times. To sum it up It was one of those games where you were ready to finish the campaign so you could move onto your next game.

The sound design is okay although the surround could be better. The gameplay is pretty much straight forward but I feel that the game is too short to make use of everything in it.

    Besides that sometimes I felt lost which is not a good sign as I do play games of different tiers on a regular basis. Details you need to spot drown in details of the world. Sometimes I just didnt know where to go or what to do. Even worse sometimes I reached the entry from behind, so there you go in terms of confusion.

    The weapons feel great although the variety lacks and some types are even recycled. So variety gets a negative from me but the weapon design, handling and shot satisfaction gets a plus. Enemy variety is also a so-so. There is a certain difference in enemies. Some are standard, some come with shield and some with energy barriers in between a are tank-like creatures and thats about it.

    The story is another "okay". Its not bad but it wont blow your mind by any means.

    Conclusion for me is that I m good with my buy for 10 bucks, although I feel I would not have missed anything if I didnt buy it. I was truly amazed by the graphical power but the rest is just too mediocre to be outstanding. If you like scifi and shooter you will probably be pleased with the 8 to 12hrs of straight gameplay.

The first few levels are kind of boring to me but picks up pretty good after but I just wasn't all that invested like I was with Killzone 2 and 3.

The multiplayer mode is a disappointment too because of the very same reason - you die easily, and the level design is not really helping. The story was ok though.

    Eyecandy game without a soul. The story is awful. Characters are awful. Voice acting is a joke
    Graphics and sound are great, shooting is decent - nothing more, nothing less.

    I really wanted to like Killzone: Shadow Fall. I went into the game with high expectations after hearing from some people it was an early gen gem. After the second mission I could tell I wouldn't be having a great experience with the game. The campaign feels like a very generic early ps3 shooter with no compelling story. The added mechanic of the robot companion felt forced and clunky.I really wanted to like Killzone: Shadow Fall.

Every time I started to enjoy parts of the game it forced me into some horrible free-fall segment which caused me to die over and over. In the end - there was some enjoyment but too many issues for me to recommend this to anyone. By far my least favorite game on PS4 to date. Expand

    Coming from Killzone 2 and 3, it is immediately apparent that this game looks a lot better. But that is just about as good as it gets with this game. From here the disappointment sets in.

    As far as the story goes, Guerrilla games apparently thought it would be logic that two warring factions could live on the same planet together, only separated by a wall... what a dumb idea. They probably thought: 'The cold war was pretty interesting with spies and stuff... so let's copy it, but do it really stupid.'

    Controlling and shooting has always been a problem in the Killzone series, being at its finest in Killzone 3. So why they thought it would be a good idea to mess it up again in Killzone Shadow Fall is beyond me. The owl is interesting as a concept, but also poorly implemented.

    This game basically serves as a tech demo to the PS4 and that's about it. I give it a 6/10.

    This game is made by the good people of Guerrilla Games. They are only known for the Killzone series. Now some people may know and you will find out know I loved the **** out of Killzone 3 so I was proper excited for this game. Sadly I can say I was rather disappointed with the result of Killzone Shadow Fall.

    The story is a direct sequel to Killzone 3. Helghan is destroyed and the Helghast are now living on Vekta good ole Berlin wall style. You play Lucas Kellan, who was being violently kicked out of New Helghan. After seeing your father shot in front of you. Many years later you become a Shadow Marshall, which is a fancy title for special forces. The rest of the game is you behind enemy lines investigating or hunting down targets. The game has almost none of the original characters from the series being that this all takes place 20 years after Killzone 3. So no more bromance from Sev and Rico, know this game lacks the Bro that the shooter series previously had. I also must say a change they make that I do hate is that they took out the cut scenes. They technically still have "cut scenes" but they are all Call of Duty style. Those aren't bad but I did miss seeing the story being told from different points of view and not just my bland character. They also got rid of any good villains. The villains they have are your cookie cut out of what a shooter villain should be. I can't even tell you their names cause they might as well been some masked space Nazi. You character is also very bland. I felt like he was supposed to be on the set of Call of Duty and just walked onto this one. There are set pieces which I thought were good but nothing quite as amazing as Killzone 3. The ending does take a turn I didn't entirely see coming. It was actually a bit confusing until I sat and thought about it for a minute.

    The games graphics are good not blow me out of my seat fantastic just good. The environment and guns and character models in cut scenes all look great. The biggest flaw I saw in the graphics was the human faces outside of cut scenes. They weren't atrocious but in comparison to the rest of the game they didn't hold up.

    The sound was interesting. The voice acting was done well enough to get the story across. The guns and explosions all sounded fantastic. The real elephant in the room was the sound that would come from the controller. It would only come out when you picked up an audio log but it would sound so damn creepy. They weren't scary sounds just the fact that it is coming out of the controller was something I wasn't used to so it gave a ominous feel.

    Now like any game you are wondering Brandon does the gameplay. Well little one I shall tell you, it is the best controls of any of the Killzone games. The previous ones had really sensitive aiming in them which made them a bit hard to control. This one feels as good as any of the shooters today. The touchpad controls this very useful drone that can do a number of things from attacking the enemy to reviving your ass if you get downed. On normal I did feel like the challenge was perfect not too easy nor too hard. It was a perfect balance but the biggest problem I had was how the game was structured. Since you have to be this covert ops guy you don't fight in any big battles it is always you VS a group of Helghast. The problem is the entire series is about a war and what I loved about the previous two games is I felt like I was in war. This one just was copying Call of Duty Ghost with just about everything except it was set in space. You get a variety of weapons and the game changes enough to keep from ever getting repetitive so those are all pluses there.

    Now this is going to sound strange coming from me but if you own a PS4 get this game for the online. The online supports 24 players being on either the humans or space Nazis side. You start out with a butt load of different premade classes to choose from and you can customize any class to your liking. The game will have a big learning curve but from a guy who is not used to multiplayer I must say I enjoyed the **** out of this, and I wasn't half bad at it either. You do unlock more weapons and goodies but I don't see a need because the weapons they give you are badass. You get a bunch of different versions of Warzone. You get team death match, capture points, hide and seek, classic, and many more I can't think of at the time. The absolute best part of multiplayer is how it ends. It ends with what I imagine the best players on the winning team executing a member of the losing team. I see it a get all funny inside, sadly I wasn't ever one of the executioners.

    Overall the single player is a shell of what Killzone 2 and 3 were but the multiplayer is the reason to stay. Honestly it was the multiplayer that saved this game so I give it a 7/10.

    Does Killzone Shadow Fall live up to its predecessors? Let's find out. Guerilla accepted the honor of having Killzone Shadow Fall be a launch title for the PS4 to showcase the power of its graphics.

However, being aDoes Killzone Shadow Fall live up to its predecessors? Let's find out. Guerilla accepted the honor of having Killzone Shadow Fall be a launch title for the PS4 to showcase the power of its graphics. It is a very visually stunning game, probably one of the most beautiful I've played to date. You may even forget that you're playing a shooter with the gorgeous backgrounds. However, being a launch title also meant the game was rushed and lacked content at launch. Initially, warzones had very limited options which impacted the game with negative reviews and a low playerbase. While there have been numerous improvements, the damage had already been done. I just picked up a copy of the game cheap and the numbers in multiplayer are still low. I feel like Guerilla focused too much on the number of weapons available and weapon attachments instead of focusing on gameplay. They also left out four important classes from the previous 2 games, the medic, the engineer, the tactician and the infiltrator. Instead they rolled three of those classes into the support class and the infiltrator returned as the insurgent, but it was no where near as good as the originals. Killzone 2 was fun. There were enough weapons and you could mix and match abilities with each class to play how you wanted to play. It was 32 player online which meant constant action. There was always a fight going on somewhere. Killzone 3 and SF were rather dull in that regard. Also, you could do some real damage with rockets and the grenade launcher in Killzone 2. That was blast, pun intended. You also got a grenade count of three. You can get extra throwables in SF, but you have to buy them with valor as a boost and it only lasts one round. I also didn't like how I had to press right on the D-Pad to use stun blast. This felt awkward as you have to momentarily stop moving your toon to use the stun blast ability which leaves you vulnerable to attack. Multiplayer is about speed and mobility and you can't afford to stop moving even for a second. I haven't played the campaign mode so I can't review the game there. My primary focus is multiplayer. However, I have heard that it's not that good. From what I do know about the story, Helghan has become a lifeless rock which is uninhabitable. The Helghast were granted half of Vekta as their new home to make up for the atrocity committed during the war. I had hoped for something different at the end of Killzone 3. I was hoping the war would go to Earth and we'd get a Helghast campaign. Instead we got a story that made little sense. There's no way the VSA would allow the Helghast onto their homeworld because the two factions were bitter enemies. The original Killzone had the best story with Templar, Luger, Haaka, and Rico. Killzone 2 was OK, and Killzone 3 was more about Hollywood style action. I hope that we get a better Killzone 5 or a reboot of the series that picks up where Killzone 2 left off and does away with 3 and SF. I still gave the game an 8 though because the graphics are great, the music is good, the gameplay isn't as good as KZ2 but it's above average and has marked improvements in the series. The gave the support class a spawn beacon so there's no more base camping. They also give you the ability to create your own warzone. However, I still want the old 16v16 32 multiplayer back from Killzone 2. There were no lag issues with 32 players. Expand

While this one has bettered some of the things i thought the original had faulted with, it still does a poor job of creating a truly "next gen" experience.

    There were a lot of frustrating moments in the game that served little more then a test of patience. Also for an odd design choice the starting rifle you start with cannot be dropped. If you play on any of the higher difficulties and use the weapon a lot you will be finding yourself stuck with one empty weapon and struggling to find another weapon to use for the next wave of enemies.

    Killzone has the illusion of a good weapon variety, but you'll mostly only come across Heligan weapons and most of them just feel the same. I would go from rifle to rifle, and without maybe the difference in attachments (grenade launcher, scope, ect) the guns just felt the same.

    The story it self is engaging enough, but feel lack luster compared to other modern shooters. It kept me going but of course the end left me in a "wtf just happened" moment" and a sequelbait ending. The opening of the game does a well enough job to set up the game so that you don't have to play the previous 3 games to understand what is going on, but the reason that the Heligan are on the IAS home world is just baffling.

    Overall it is slightly above average as far as other modern shooters that are available. If you love FPS games and want to see what type of graphics the PS4 can do then it might be worth a buy at its reduced price.

You just can't empathize with space Nazis. Maybe you will feel bad for the civilians who have to live in the space Nazi side of the planet, but their plight is the fault of the space Nazis. A poor story alone has never ruined an otherwise fun game. Too bad Shadowfail has frustrating, outdated gameplay. Perhaps I was put off by the not 1, not 2, but at least 4 tutorials in the game. Grenades take 10 seconds to throw, and you will be killed by enemy fire before you can throw one. Enemies have X-Ray binocular vision and have no problem shooting a moving target and making cover is almost worthless. The levels themselves are made non-sensical by arbitrary use of fences or piles of rubble. At least 25% of the game is spent looking for the waypoint. One frustrating set of levels uses the same non-sensical logic puzzle. You need to disable sentry devices in the same way. Moving forward, however, has nothing to do with disabling the sentries devices themselves. The same is true of missions where you have to defend a position while you wait for a computer to activate or an aircraft to land. The event only occurs when all enemies are elimited. Other portions of the game are nearly broken, with one boss fight going far too long when the invisible boss went missing for several minutes.

    Shadowfail may have decent multiplayer, but I will never know. The on-line lobbies are all Ghost towns in 2016. Considering the mediocre response to this game, that's not surprising. I am assuming Shadowfail is the end of the Killzone series. If Shadowfail is any indication, that's a good thing.

This, for me, means that in terms of story I found it was slightly less interesting but the gameplay is quite similar to the other killzones which is good. Summarising here, I’d say is fun to play with a plot that gives you and excuse but won’t surprise you.

    Graphics and sound are pretty good with some scenarios that will let you “wow, this is good”, but it is not as amazing as some game magazines say. It is good but just that, good. I have to say that the level design is excellent though, the scenarios are quite big and in a lot of situations, they give you the chance of addressing a situation in several different ways.

    Overall, I’d say is a good shooter, not great, there’s much better stuff out there but you’ll have some decent fun playing the campaign.

The graphics in Shadow Fall are amazing, and they really show off the power of the PS4, unfortunately, everything else about Shadow Fall fails miserably. Firstly, the AI is as dumb as a rock, enemies will run straight into your line of fire, being instantly shredded apart by your bullets. Secondly, The story is very lackluster and forgettable, I don't remember any of the characters' names. The multiplayer should keep you playing for a couple of weeks though, it is pretty good. In short, only buy Shadow Fall if your'e a hardcore Killzone fan, but for the rest of us, there are other shooters in the market. I'm sure Guerilla will deliver with Horizon Zero Dawn. Expand

    Good looking game, but not great game.
    covering system not good.
    Run and shoot.
    Few missions so annoying - when amount of enemies and area size or tools to deal with them is unfair just getting crossfire all over a place.

    Previous games in the Killzone series have stood out as amongst the best of what Sony's systems have to offer. That makes this latest entry so much more disappointing. While not entirely bad there's enough going wrong here to make it worth passing up.

    Previous games in the Killzone series have stood out as amongst the best of what Sony's systems have to offer. That makes this latest entry so much more disappointing. While not entirely bad there's enough going wrong here to make it worth passing up.

    For starters there's the campaign, which just feels like a way to show off the graphical capabilities of the PS4 rather than providing a fun experience. Make no mistake, this is a gorgeous game. Unfortunately visual splendor can only carry an experience so far. With boring storytelling, frustrating shootouts, pathetic weapons, and occasionally unresponsive controls the single-player experience falls short. The biggest issue with the campaign is just that it doesn't feel like Killzone. What we get instead is just a really bad Call of Duty.

    The multiplayer on the other hand is a blast. It's fun, chaotic, and most definitely Killzone. However it too isn't without it's flaws. For one the experience in dying rather quickly. You can still almost always find full matches of team deathmatch, but the other modes it just comes down to when you look. There are times when the game will be buzzing with activity, and times when you'll be wondering where everyone is. Bot matches are available, but they just aren't the same.

    It's a shame the more objective based modes are the ones that are usually empty. Those are the ones that keep people moving. Unfortunately most TDM matches end up with a lot of camping. They usually turn out with one team trapping the other in their spawn base. Matches are still action packed and both sides can still get kills regardless if they're the trapper or the trapped, but it can really suck getting holed up like that.

    Shadow Fall's multiplayer portion can still be a heck of a lot of fun, but the camping and an ever diminishing player base are turn offs. With the single-player offering falling flat on it's face and the co-operative mode only being available as paid DLC it's hard to really recommend it. It's a big disappointment considering it's part of the usually excellent Killzone series. It can still provide some competitive thrills, but no one would blame you for passing this game in favor of games that are more satisfying overall.

    I give it a 6.2/10

    Whilst the graphics are truly stunning and worthy of Next-Gen, the games story mode is slightly lacking in atmosphere. The online side of the game has a whole branch of positives, but ultimately flows in a style I found slightly unrewarding. Despite such factors, I found myself gripped at times by what was on screen.

    I am a huge Killzone fan and was actually really into the competitive multiplayer scene PS3.

    That being said: Shadow Fall is absolutely dreadful. At least the single player is. Franchises should move forward, not backward. No human being could play Killzone 2 or even KZ3 and then play Shadow Fall and deem this one better. I was really sad playing this. I actually talked it up to my

    That being said: Shadow Fall is absolutely dreadful. At least the single player is. Franchises should move forward, not backward. No human being could play Killzone 2 or even KZ3 and then play Shadow Fall and deem this one better. I was really sad playing this. I actually talked it up to my girlfriend a lot and then she sat down with me as I started the game and watched the first hour or two... At the time I was trying to cover for it saying things like, "Well, some games start slower babe" etc... Ugh. Needless to say it never got better. I know they were trying to push the exploration concept rather than straight forward gameplay but it was definitely not an improvement. I did complete the game of course but was not impressed.

    I played the multiplayer some (maybe 20 or 30 hours even) but I just couldn't get into it like the last couple Killzones. I took it back to Best Buy and the guy told me he had been receiving a LOT of them. I don't like being an outlier when reviewing things and I hate commenting on other reviews but I really feel like anybody who rates this 8 or higher needs to take a step back and play a Killzone game from 10 years ago to see how it compares.

    Not a bad game, not amazing. Campaign was good in parts, but sometimes felt a bit meaningless, and the last mission with the stealth was VERY frustrating. OWL was interesting, but felt more of a gimmick.

Was a wasted of a good material here thought! This game could be won many game awards but the story really screw up everything! The game can be repeated so anoying sometimes you can just hide and wait other do your job. The final is sad in terms of boring how horrible ending...This game will be disappoint the fans of Killzone. For new gamers will be alright for some time. Hope the next Killzone will be better and a consistent storyline. Expand

    Un juego que no tiene que ver casi nada con la saga, la campaña para mi es una de las mejores de su género, pero con un online muy pobre comparado con Killzone 2, ese juego puso el listón del juego online demasiado alto. Un buen juego si quieres un modo campaña de Shooter en condiciones.

    Control: very good
    my only negative feedback that i m not a big fan of High techs space video games cuz it has a lack of moral and any kind of storyboard, this game has no point and dont waste your time following the conversation between the characters as that wont change anything

    A very good and varied multiplayer FPS. Some things, like the big attack/defend scenarios, were better on Killzone 3. [Jan 2014]

    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.
