    I just played it because it was ps4 exclusive. The story was boring without any elements of excitement.

    Berbat bir hikaye anlatımı ve karakterler,ortalama üzeri bir oynanış, Türkçe dublajı olması güzel bir artı, oyunun aslında güzel bir evreni var ama oyuna yedirememişler.

    После того, как я познакомился с тем, с чего начиналась 4-ая соня, я даже удивлён в том, что такая популярная консоль... Потому что первая доступная игра на консоли
    - Это плохая игра, И плохой вход во вселенную.
    - Это плохой шутер чтобы стрелять, - это постановочные заставки без динамики и кучи эффектов на поле боя, - Это устаревшая графика, при сравнению с соседями того же года, - а    После того, как я познакомился с тем, с чего начиналась 4-ая соня, я даже удивлён в том, что такая популярная консоль...

    um joguinho bem mais ou menos, o drone é única coisa divertida do jogo.
    gráficos bonitos mais deveria interagir mais com as coisas destruindo algo cenário
    se tiver barato vale uma jogatina, mais não espere muita coisa

    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.    Средний стелс-шутер который может кому-то понравится, а кому-то и нет.

    Killzone Shadowfall is a good looking game, but not that great of a Killzone.

    Not a bad launch title for the PS4 though!

    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.

    Killzone 2 y 3 evidentemente tienen mejor trama , personajes más trabajados y banda sonora más memorable pero la jugabilidad de shadow fall es atractiva y aunque al principio decepciona un poco luego da alguna que otra sorpresa , buscaba ser lo que no fue y pensamos que un 7 esta dentro de lo aceptable .

    Shadow Fall is weird as a standalone game and a disappointment as a Killzone game. Gone are the glory days if Killzone 2. Shadow Fall provides a mostly fun campaign with a TERRIBLY though out narrative and one dimensional characters. The gameplay, while not as unique as previous Killzone games is serviceable. The game looks stunning and the sound design is great. That's all Shadow FallShadow Fall is weird as a standalone game and a disappointment as a Killzone game. Gone are the glory days if Killzone 2.

Everything else just falls flat compared to every other Killzone game and first person shooter overall.… Expand

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s more rare for me to get into a multiplayer game.

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.    … Expand

    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.… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.
