    Why is this game the best game possible for the PS4 launch I'll tell you why.

    First of all, it is gorgeous. Not only the technical part of the graphics, but also the artistic direction.

    First of all, it is gorgeous. Not only the technical part of the graphics, but also the artistic direction. Everything is just beautiful, and I caught myself quite a lot of time just looking at the view.

    Then, I really appreciate the fact that Guerrilla didn't want to make the same Killzone as the 3 first before Shadow Fall. The campaign is longer, and better. Some might complain about the fact that it has lass action and more exploration, but in my opinion, it was a very good choice. No more running towards any Hellgast you'll see. Well, you can still do it, but you can also be more sneaky, and it's just great.
    The OWL is another interesting add to the game, but I feel like it may be a little bit too effective sometimes.

    The OST of the game is just amazing. Each side of the Wall (You'll figure out what this is by playing the game) has its own atmosphere, and it's just eargasmic.

    The storyline is better than the previous Killzone games, but still far from perfect: it has a few action movie cliché, but it's still very nice: the war is more subtle, no more "nobrain" charges and no more bad guys and good guys. Yes, the Helgast are a threat, but the Vektans are far from being "clean" in this war. It's not as manichean as it was before, and this is also a very good thing. The campaign is 9-12 hours long, and it's quite a ride, for sure.

    The multiplayer is also very fun, and you can make your own rules, on the maps you've chosen, and trust me, if you're into MP, you'll spend dozens of hours playing.

    In a nutshell, this game is good. And by good I mean VERY good. It's gorgeous, fun to play, much longer than the others FPS launch titles (*cough*CoD BF4*cough*), the storyline is well written, the OST is very good as well, etc...

    The first Killzone game is still my favourite, but Killzone Shadow Fall is the best from the series.
    Well done Guerrilla.    … Expand

    A worthy launch title for the Playstation 4, if this is the start of next gen then things can ONLY get better. I need not tell you how stunning this game is, but instead the gameplay feels fresh, the story is a thrilling new take on war, using a cold war setting rather then throwing you head first into a hot war.

    Sure it has it's cliche action movie set pieces that you know like the back of your hand, but what do you expect. This is Killzone, this isn't here to win an academy award. It's here to give you a mindless thrill ride and it does it effortlessly.

    I felt fully immersed in this world, only taken out of it by some small and rare slip ups from the AI system. But that is my only negative here today.

    Multiplayer is back with a vengeance and will keep you coming back for hours on end, I need not tell you more.

    Just a perfect launch title, a franchise we know and love but with the perfect twist to usher in the new generation.

    Game on.    … Expand

    - Multi player, 24 players 60 fps, it has dedicated servers and its a blast to play, Maps are well designed not to big and not to small. And the custom Warzone multi player maps is pretty awesome.
    Single player: is around 10 hours, Story is decent but nothing spectacular good voice acting and facial animation, characters don't fell dull as in previews Killzone games.

    Killzone Shadowfall is not perfect, but I gave it a 10 to try to offset the "reviews" by people who obviously haven't played it and are just trying to bring the average down. In reality, it's more of an 8-9 depending how much weight you put on Multiplayer vs Singleplayer.

    Visually, this is easily one of the most impressive looking launch games and the framerate is buttery smooth.

    Visually, this is easily one of the most impressive looking launch games and the framerate is buttery smooth. Audio is also very nice and a noticeable improvement over PS3 KZ titles.

    Singleplayer is hit and miss and if I were to judge based on single player alone, I would give it a 7.5-8/10. You could sense the vision Guerrilla wanted to take it, but they just seemed to lack the time to really refine the story and level design. It is still a very decent single player campaign though, and it clocks in a decent length of ~10-11hrs.

    With that said, it's the multiplayer where this game really shines. Silky smooth 60fps (for the most part) amazing visuals, completely customizable games and solid gameplay and controls.

    Overall, I'd say that this is a pretty solid launch title. It showcases the PS4's power nicely and it is a solid game overall.    … Expand

    Killzone just like many triologies / series whether games , movies, music, books etc, usually start to lose steam with each installment the exceptions are knowns as the greats, clasics, epic and set a standard/ benchmark that is hard to do unfortunately Killzone doesnt fall in the latter BUT KZ Shadowfall is solid.

    campaign has a good tempo and varied missions as well as delivering an open world feel which is a blessing for those like myself who passionately grew to hate linear , generic corridor shooters. Hand holding is almost non existent and when it implement it guerilla cleverly disguised its pressence /existance with the games flow and tempo.

    No holy grail of a.i here but the helghast does not tend to kamikazi themselves by running full speed toward your 800 rounds per second. A.I uses cover well and rarely throws grenades at suicidal angles, tbh guerilla did a fine job in terms of the a.i being programmed good enough that it doesnt break the immersion they designed, a.i compliments rather than humilate the gameplay = fun gunplay with very little smh t ala moh warfighter turkey shoot.

    Guns feel great and are classic kz creations, not over the top op'd generics but rather somewhat believable futuristic guns, believing in v ideo games always a plus.
    campaign is a decent length and the visuals aare top notch nexr gen yummy, story is meh and kz mercs had a better one imo. There is some destructability but not on the level as say BF4. campaign fun but instantly forget me yes but cant say the same for the MP.

    Multiplaya is where this game freaking excells !

    A very unique , up tempo, tactical, oh so fun engagement in varied maps/locations multiplayer that is like no other. It has its own flavor which is so tasty i rebought the game after trading in for thief, the irony thief robbed my for 63 dollars and credit but thats neither here or there back on topic.

    guerilla unlocks all the guns from press start which levels playing field imho but you do upgrade turrets and unlock weapon scopes and mounts but it is needed for the player to feel progression which is better than feeling op'd due to level 76 prestige having a minigun while you enter late in the game per se wielding a but naked ak 47. Bottom line the mp designed with the gamer in mind on every level and i rate the mp as being top notch which can go toe to toe with any fps mp on the market as well as having one of the best hit boxes.
    Some are used to chocolate and vanilla and wont venture towards new or different flavors, CoD or BF4 are familiar territories, a comfort zone if you will and thats perfectly respectable / fine especially when its your dime but i will say this = change isnt always a bad thing and on that note KZSF campaign IS ACCEPTABLE AND THE MP IS REFRESHING & DERSERVING of good merit as well as a try but as they say different strokes for different folks well lets just say KZSF MP stroked my cords .

    P freakin S Guerilla I DEMAND A HELGHAST CAMPAIGN!

    Btw bgm fantastic as always and visually the 2nd best looking game this gen imo close secong to mgsv ground zeroes.
    My psn is pixelprov1 , hope you were able to take something positive / helpful from this

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Condensed]

    While there have been excellent titles from the getgo within this console series, and even within the handheld accompaniments of recent times, Killzone: Shadow Fall is second only to Killzone 3 in my mind, and rises above Killzone 2 and the original Killzone in so many ways. It beats each game in terms of visuals and competent gameplay, as well as evolving the still fresh multiplayer experience past anything I could've hoped for. This game is definitely the highlight of my Play Station 4 coverage and playing, and I wouldn't have missed it for anything else this year. It may not be receiving the best score of all from me, but I have enjoyed it a lot and the story alone provides so much of a replay value and time commitment as well. Shadow Fall makes me wish that the next game in the series would come sooner, and it is that excitement and anxiety that makes me love it all the more.

    Concept: A great start to the next generation of shooters and games in general.

    Graphics: Some of the best visuals and animations that I have seen in a long while, and something to set the standard for next generation games as well.

    Sound: The voice acting isn't always the strongest, but the musical scores hit all the right vibes for a futuristic city perfectly.

    Playability: The controls are well balanced and laid out, and the extraneous commands for the OWL and allies also fit in the mix without confusing players at all. In a series noted for its excellent controls, these are some of the best.

    Entertainment: From the story to the gameplay, this is an exciting and entertaining adventure.

    Replay Value: High.

    Overall Score: 8.5    … Expand

    We expect a FPS on a new console, to be above and beyond anything offered currently. Seems like common sense really, but GG was the only company to see that vision.

Between COD: Recycled to BF4: Rushed Edition (which is not DICEs fault), Killzone only competition is the name branding that EA and Activision have. 3rd best selling game on PS4 (guess what the other 2 are), it looks beyond the crappy scores from others and gamers are seeing that first hand.

    Now please keep in mind that SP is not why I bought KZ...MP is where it is at, and as a long time supported to the BF and COD series, I never once played the SP...why would you when you can kill other people lol.

    First off you get 10 maps for MP with a range of game modes and levels based on your skill. Wanna play with just weapons and a shield, you can do that....KZ lets you pick your lobby and style. And what last gen KZ did for MP (which wasn't that good), it as exceeded in listening to customer's feedback.

    Check out YouTube, this game is beautiful and it plays well. MP is fun to play and keeps you coming back for more. The season pass is only $19.99 and we are promised free DLC on top of that and a great MP experience.

    There is no Frame-Rate issues in MP, the game runs 1080p at 60fps and is amazing, showing off the power of the PS4.

    It is not a perfect 10, but if you are looking for a nice change from COD and BF, that won't rape your wallet....here you go.

    I should add that KZ will be putting MP up for free soon on the PSN network, allowing you to rank to SGT I, after you can choose to purchase the full unlock for around $15.00 (source). EIther way, this is a good move by GG to do this, as they need to work on there name branding to compete in this market.    … Expand

    Even the haters (and the self-declared PC 'masterrace') must appreciate these graphics and that's at least something. Other than that I don't expect people who have never played a KZ game before or haven't done a bit of reading don't give a about certain characters and story.

    Positive
    + Probably the most stunning graphics I have ever seen on a console, even tho' KZ2 and 3 were also beautiful on the PS3
    + The Owl aspect of the game is awesome, it makes playing a shooter on a controller much more bearable since it helps players out tremendously
    + The controller is being utilized greatly, the touchpad is being used for the different command stances and audiologs play through the mono speaker (even tho' that jumpscared the out of me when I picked up my first audiolog deep in the night...)
    + Firing guns feels so satisfactory, especially the Helghan guns have a heavy 'Oomphf' feel to them
    + There are multiple ways you can play this game, personally I try to stealth but usually ends up in a Rambo massacre, no matter how, I love it
    + Multiplayer is great, many options, all weapons unlocked and some great maps

    --what's the difference in ALL SHOOTERS from CallOfDuty,,Battlefield,Halo,Destiny,Metro,Fallout,,esp the main military types like Battlefield and COD is what stands out besides same ole boring arse story.
    - The answer is uniqueness and excitement.. I WANT REWARDS FOR EVERY BAD GUY I KILL. NOT JUST EXPERIENCE.I WANT TO HEARA MONEY$$ cha-Ching sound when I kill a bad guy,,I want MMORPG STYLE OF LOOT WHEN I KILL A BADDIE..THIS IS MISSING FROM GAMES. mass Effect gives us the pause menu wheel for powers or weapon switch etc,,Fallout gives us a similar pause system with Vats, they all have something. Heck, even Titanfall has Titans and Badarse Pilots for uniqueness.. We need this because we played Medal Of Honor all the super stories of Valor and save America from the morales world who attacks it and freedom yadda yadda yadda. Boring!

So when Halo 2 came out with instant patches for games or new maps and whAtever= it brought excitement but also killed us with boredom..
    --Killzone didn't change this but I found it refreshing. But I also liked COD-Ghost because I'm not afraid to say my opinion. Seems everyone @ Gamestops opinion about a gMe is whatever the mainstream positive or negative opinion is..lame!!!!

    graphics: this is where killzone shines, you have to see to believe it. i have been playing games on maximum settings on pc and this game is truley a next gen graphics. reminder that this is only the beggining.
    multi: so far i spent 2 hours in advanced for the multi and its hell of a fun, so much better than the single player and this is where the game basically shines in it, without this level of quality in the multiplayer matches i would have given this game not more than a 7.
    recommend: there are COD ghost, Bt4, killzone available to buy. for you to decide easier i would recommend picking up killzone if you looking for a really amazing graphics. dont expect too much from the single player but the multi is really fun, now if you enjoy the multiplayer that cod offers then dunt gof or this game.    … Expand

    Single Player: The gameplay is a little disjointed, but when the action is happening its a blast. Some of the earlier levels just start out slow. The style of play is drastically different than games like COD or even the old KZ games so when you approach this game do so with an open mind. I think a lot of reviewer did not find what they expected and so the game got lower scores. This game is not an all out war, but instead you are usually fighting through small bands of enemies and then you may have some downtime before you encounter the next group. The thing is, the enemy waves are hard and you have to use some strategy to really be successful. One thing that holds it back though is the fact that you can use the OWL to revive. Yes there is a limit on how many times you can do this, but because of the adrenaline rush that you get that slows down the battle, you can usually use the adrenaline, pass the part you had trouble with, and move on to find more adrenaline packs. The difficulty is high though so it doesn't take away too much, but I feel it is a little too forgiving.

    The single player has great quality and varied environments and gameplay. Probably the best way to describe it is like a really good independent movie. Parts really shine, and outshine the Hollywood films by a great measure, but some things should have been cut and some things should have been approached a little differently. Ultimately at the heart there is a great game, but it takes a little patience at parts.

    Multiplayer is great, I'm not going to write more about it but just to say its really fun, but probably will not keep you interested as long as a game like BF4.    … Expand

New players just need to get used to the different pacing, mission types, abilities and gunplay and they will grow to love Killzone Shadow Fall. Graphics are some of the best I have seen. Maps are very well made and varied although a little more CQC than previous Killzone titles. Since launch their have been many welcome changes. Overpowered weapons and abilities were nerfed & underpowered weapons and abilities were buffed. Challenge requirements were adjusted. Ranking system tied to challenges was introduced. New maps were added for FREE. Automata skins, player skins, player cards, cross hair reticules, voice packs, end of game moves were all added for more customization. Clan support was finally added with more support to come. If you are reading this and tried the game at launch please give it another shot as you may be surprised. The best experience will always come from Extended Warzone or Classic as opposed to Team Deathmatch but sadly that is what the majority of newcomers gravitate towards due to familuarity with COD. Trust me you are missing out. Get a mic and talk to the veterans and most will help you out with all the little nuances of the game. As far Single Player it got a bum rap from reviewers as well. It is quite different from KZ2 and KZ3 style but there is still sections of intense battle. There are sections where you have great freedom in the way you go about finishing the level ( routes, order, stealth or guns blazing). You can pick up various different weapons to change up gameplay. The OWL can allow you to play the game several diffetent styles depending on how you use it. Pick up the season pass to go with this game for 20 bucks to get expansion packs and the Intercept Co-op. Killzone is easy to find at reduced prices as well so it is a no brainer.… Expand

But overall, the single player campaign is much better than in shooters like COD or Battlefield. The pacing of the last three levels seemed to drag on a little... but they may be because I hopped into the online multiplayer and mostly just wanted to get back to it. It was in these later levels that the developers deviated from the core gameplay concepts a bit as well. While this worked well in most areas, one level in particular felt like more of a chore because of it.

    The core multiplayer has not changed much at all from Killzone 2 and 3 in terms of game modes. However the excellent map designs and faster gameplay make this the funnest go around yet! Warzones are just as addictive as ever and the customization choices provide plenty of variety from the very beginning. The challenge system provides another level of addictiveness to the metagame as you progress for challenge completion in addition to the mission objectives.

    In a time when COD and Battlefield still manage to rate 9.0+ simply on the strength of their online modes, Killzone: Shadow Fall easily ranks up there at the top. The single player is not perfect, but it is better than most... and looks absolutely gorgeous. The multiplayer looks just as good and feels even better.

    As a PS4 launch title, you can expect the graphics to be impressive, and they are. As a PC gamer, I can tell you taht the game looks pretty amazing on par or beyond anything on PC at the moment. Little touches like the dust floating in a darkened room catching the light from muzzle bursts, and the intricate detail put in to textures like the floor and tree bark really help the game shine. The overall atmosphere is phenomenal an abandoned space station level, for example, complete with zero-g sections, felt like it could have been pulled from Dead Space.

    It's main, fault, in my opinion, is the plot, which makes little sense and is more of a means to an end that end being a diverse array of locales to sneak and/or blast your way through. As a launch title, this is the most "Next Gen" of the bunch. If you're a fan of well crafted FPS gameplay that tries a few new things, striking visuals and interesting level design, Shadow Fall should satisfy and give you a taste of what your new console is capable of.    … Expand

You can even miss so much elements if you rush too much because here every thing isn't emphasized with a cinematic (meaning scripts) in order to hide the lacks in a strong scenario with 2 or 3 explosions to build an illusion of a storyline and arouse feelings; in Shadow fall you will see (and hear) but only if you are willing too to so; i love spending time staying at listening to conversations between enemies before slaying them remaining unnoticed, or staring at the beauty of some landscape, the sounds and musics are so great that all these details bring a real immersion to the player. Everything is meant to be bigger than ever before (for the franchise) and does it very well. The only regrets would be the disappearance of the Coop and the Operations modes (for now but maybe with the free DLCs announced). But everything else has really been evolved to a higher new level. This is a turning point for Killzone and i'm glad i'm a part of this trip.… Expand

    Probably one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played. I could rave for hours (er, minutes). It feels incredibly balanced due to all weapons and abilities being available from the start, but there is enough reward through unlockable attachments and 1,500+ challenges that keep the addiction level high. Playing as each of the game's three classes is never tiresome and always engaging regardless of which I choose. This can be attributed to the great set of abilities each class posses that at times can feel like you're on a Call of Duty killstreak with the drones, turrets, missiles, and air-support that is instantly available to you.

    Teamwork is a big factor in the outcome of matches, depending on which mode you're playing, but the core mechanics of what each player should be doing are clear enough that voice chat is not at all a necessity to do well. Map design is great and makes it so you are basically never getting kills by running around in circles shooting people in the back like in Call of Duty. The firefights are very deliberate and often volley between two fronts, offering up some hectic battles and intensely risky behind-enemy-lines tactics. Uh...yeah, it's great!

    CAMPAIGN:

    Because the older Killzone games didn't really aspire to much aside from loud guns and slick graphics (namely 2 and 3), they end up being solid, albiet unambitious, shooters. I consider the original trilogy to be an incredible set of games that doesn't do much, but does it all with a raw simplicity and challenge that hits the spot. They are why I was super anxious to get my hands on Killzone: Shadow Fall.

    With a new console, however, another formulaic entry to the series just wouldn't cut it, especially with a game that spearheads the system launch. Thankfully, Guerrilla games decided to tinker with the core-Killzone mechanics and give players something new. Shadow Fall takes you out of the boots of the frontline grunts of the previous games and throws the player into the role of a Shadow Marshall, a kind of lone-wolf spec ops soldier with a slew of gadgets and abilities to help get each mission done. Not only that, but the levels were to be such that the player could engage the enemy on their own terms, without be pushed along by squadmates as you would before.

    In theory, it all sounded great to me, but in practice, there's something amiss. Well, not any one thing in particular, but many many little things. Guerrilla seems out of their element, and each new gameplay element introduced over the course of the campaign yields a series of small missteps. And...I don't wanna type anymore. List time!

    Pros:
    - Nice graphics
    - Very balanced multiplayer with good map design, unique abilities and upgrades
    - Gun controls are ultra-responsive
    - The OWL drone is cool when it works
    - The Spoor gun is designed very well

    Cons:
    - OWL drone is very temperamental about when it will work and is thus very unreliable
    - Can't hear anything anyone is saying, even with the music and SFX turned down..have to use sub-titiles
    - Lots of rocks, poles, chairs, and other pointless things in the environment to get stuck on
    - Overall amount of gun combat is relatively low
    - Too many dark levels, all without a flashlight
    - "Stealth" mission paths that can't be completed with stealth
    - "Simon says" -type "do-what-I-say-or-die" levels with Echo, even though she is hot
    - Some very poor pacing in the campaign make for some agonizingly drawn out pointless scenes
    - Music is noticeably absent in many parts of the campaign, and doesn't contribute much to the overall atmosphere when present
    - D-pad can be unresponsive in multiplayer    … Expand

The story is interesting yet mediocre, but overall, it was still enjoyable and I definitely had an interest in finding out what was going to happen next. The length of the game is on the longer side, but it was totally acceptable because non of the content felt like filler.

    Graphics and sound are top notch for a launch title in my opinion. The draw distances and it's 1080p native texture sharpness make for some very sweet candy for your eyes to gobble up. Each chapter manages to change the landscape considerably, and I have to say; that experiencing the level design and attention to detail was my favorite part of the game. Frame rate was quite uniform and felt as if it hovered between 40fps and 60fps.

    The shooting mechanics are fine and the guns behave fairly well. I did think that the OWL drone control scheme was a bit odd, and I found myself only using one or two of it's abilities throughout the whole game.

    Beginners to first person shooters will probably find the difficulty a bit high, even on the easiest setting. It feels like it has been bumped up due to the seemingly overpowered OWL. I would have preferred if the OWL abilities were a bit more balanced and did not affect the tide of battle as much as they do. The enemy AI is not astonishing, but they did offer some challenge and unpredictability.

    Overall, I would recommend Killzone Shadow Fall to any fan of futuristic Sci-Fi first person shooters, and it's leaps and bounds better than the previous entry of the series. The devs have have crafted an amazing world, and I'm sure that the majority of the places (and methods) that I had traversed in the game will stick in my memory for a long time.

    NOTE: I have not played multi-player. This score and review is completely based on my single player campaign experience.

    Later folks!

    The really impressive thing is that the gameplay is Shadow Fall's strong point, not the graphics. Not only is the shooting amazing, it's so good that it doesn't even have auto aim in it because of how good it feels. The OWL and tactical echo allow you to carefully plan how you want to play as do the much larger and more open levels.

    The story is great. It's very intriguing and more relatable than past Killzones. Believe it or not, this game does make you think about your own morality. It's not just a bro shooter like CoD or BF4.

    The setting is absolutely incredible. From the dark and atmospheric slums of New Helghan, to the absolutely gorgeous Vekta City. Plus there are some surprise locations along the way including a trip to a VSA battle cruiser near their sun.

    The multiplayer is back and better than ever. It's fast paced and balanced and unlike CoD or BF4, it actually rewards the skilled players instead of holding noobs hands. Also, there is no XP system, and all weapons are unlocked from the start. The Custom Warzones add in an interesting element as well and will provide so much replayability to this game. Unlike in CoD, anybody with the game can join, not just friends, and unlike BF4, you don't need to pay a fortune to make a custom server. Don't like dealing with certain weapons and abilities? Make a warzone that excludes them. It's as simple as that. Also, Shadow Fall does use dedicated servers.

    Overall, my only complaint is that the game doesn't have an option to swap the analog sticks for players like me who learned to play FPS's on N64, and therefore need to aim with the left stick, not the right. Though I did contact GG on twitter, 3 of them said they're looking into adding it so hopefully they fix that.    … Expand

    I love that there is no XP system, instead you complete challenges to unlock abilities and attachments. Which means it's a skill based game, and campers and boosters will get beat handily. With the promise of a co-op survival mode and completely free multiplayer maps, Killzone Shadow Fall should be the go to multiplayer game this year for all you online junkies looking to get a beautiful next-gen game experience on the PS4.    … Expand

    This new KZ feels very different from the other, it still features amazing visuals, but very colorful at times, and lots of different settings in the environement with that whole city divided, alternating sandbox type of gameplay and more path driven parts. I think it's a must have for every PS4 owner even if you are not that high on shooters.

I know most of the kids nowadays aren't used to what usually launches along side a console.(most of the consoles life is figuring out how to make the hardware fit and work, the software comes later which then gets passed on to developers late into the process, making working on a development kit harder for launch games. This is why it takes so long in a consoles life to figure out how to make the best games. Like last of us launching this year instead of a few after the ps3 launches.) This caliber of game just does not come out when a console is born. the graphics are outstanding, not a framrate clip, stutter, skip, whatever. It just flows beautifully from scene to scene, even in the multiplayer warzones where people are joining/quiting non stop.

    the campaign is your standard FPS save the world super human style. Its presented in a fashion that isn;t too unknown to any last-gen shooter apocalypse player. lone wolf soldier with minimal assistance takes on hordes of alien attackers in an attempt to help humanity. The cold war aspect with the berlin wall and such give an interesting twist to the narrative. I did not play the previous killzones so it was harder to get a feel for the hatred against the aliens(helgast) who attacked us first, and in the last game we had destroyed their planet. The game does a good job of making you feel for them as to why they'd want to cross the wall and take over the planet. The game doesn't do much to improve anything in terms of FPS gameplay aside from giving you your OWL companion(word to the wise, learn how to use immediately), but what it does do is make everything look fun and gorgeous while you blow stuff up. The difficulty is a bit higher than most FPS on normal but nothing unfair. The game has a nice pace to it with random rail scenarios to break up the tandum. Overall the campaign doesn't shine as say the original modern warfare does, but it's well worth the playh through.

    The multiplayer is basic, and honestly I kind of like that. Instead of picking a certain map type, you can join a warzone that can contain anywhere from 1-8 game types. These ranging from deathmatch to headquarter control, to destroying checkpoints. The randomness of these warzones really is what makes the game fun to me. You're always wondering what you'll have to do next and this makes the tactical advantages of certain maps great because they might not be as good depending on what type of match you are in. Things run super smooth and fast, I do feel there are some over powered special abilities but what game doesn't have at least one.

    If you;'re buying a ps4 you owe it to yourself to give this game a try, if just for the spectacle of how gorgeous frame by frame it is.    … Expand

    The storyline is pretty good and the first thing you'll probably notice are the gorgeous graphics. Gameplay is great too never experiencing any problems. The touchpad is only used as another D-pad to control OWl, your robot companion, in the game. While it wouldn't be that bad that the touchpad is only used as another D-pad, the problem is that OWL is pretty much useless. You can get him to do only four things but throughout the game you'll forget to use OWL unless you need him to hack a console.You can't do anything while your sending it out, not even be running, which adds another reason why you wouldn't want to use OWL in this fast paced action game but then it also gets bad that the devs force you to use OWL when up against super shielded enemies. You can either waste a couple of clips taking out a shield of one of those heavily shielded enemies or use OWL to take out their shield. While it may sound that OWL may actually be useful, the attack OWL uses only works on a small area. So while your waiting for OWL to take out the shield of 1 of those heavily shielded enemies, you still have to worry about the other 4 or 5 that are trying to take you down.

    The multiplayer in the game plays really well. Not once did I have any connection issues. The game modes are fun too and I was more into the first game mode which is the basic one. Your in a team and go rounds playing random game matches like team deathmatch, then it whoever wins next round might be capture and hold and so on. You got different loadouts so you can experiment and see which one you like. Unlike Battlefield 4 and CoD though you won't find much when it comes to unlockables. If you chose to play the regular assault, like I did, you'll find that all the primary weapons are unlocked. You can unlock only 3 shotguns if you want and unlock all the abilities right away. About the only depth in unlockables is trying to level up your abilities, those that can level up at least, but when it came to assault I found I really only wanted to level up the little droid that has your back since the level up only makes it so your abilities last longer and you only have a handful of abilities. Not much to do in the customization option but the multiplayer gameplay was fun in itself that it might make you want to just jump and start playing.

    Overall I think the game is pretty good for a launch title to show off the PS4 capabilities and what really pops out are those graphics. I just can't describe how much better looking this game is compared to a PS3 game. I would definitely recommend this as a launch title buy if you want a fun game that also makes good use of the PS4 capabilities.    … Expand

    Theres no doubt about it; Killzone: Shadow Fall is by far the most visually stunning and pretty launch game on the Playstation 4 and by extension the Xbox One also. It's a solid shooter with tight controls, a less cumbersome feel than any of the previous Killzone games and also a fun multiplayer that is a viable alternative to other launch FPS's CoD:Ghosts and Battlefield 4.

    For whatever reason, so called "video game journalists" or as they would have you believe "experts", have this gripe with Killzone that boils down simply to the lack of innovation or anything primarily new that Shadow Fall brings over any prior FPS released. For the most part, these remarks about Killzone are true and perhaps its only true advancement over any previous console FPS is the gorgeous graphics. But heres the bit that bothers me the most, Call of Duty, the widely successful and hugely popular first person shooter franchise has been at its very core, essentially the same game and its innovations are mainly materialistic and cosmetic rather than anything ever truly revolutionary. Despite this Call of Duty will consistently score very high scores and primarily by the notion that "if it aint broke, don't fix it". So whilst I completely agree that Killzone doesn't necessarily bring anything new to the table, the sheer fact it is penalised for not innovating on past Killzones (or any FPS's for that matter) whilst CoD can be accused of innovating just as little, all whilst maintaining its generally high review scores, is absolutely staggering. I can't help but feel that killzone is perhaps penalised for the sheer fact its a ''next gen" game, rather than on the merits it brings primarily as a video game. Would it have scored higher if it was on PS3? Most probably. Is it worth buying a PS4? Perhaps not. If it was called Call of Duty: Shadow Fall would reviewers have scored it higher? Most likely... Is it a worthwhile and solid shooter that offers you a solid sic-fi esque experience? Yes. If I like shooters and want something my current gen console doesn't already offer should i buy Killzone? Hell yes.

I thoroughly enjoyed SP however there were 1 or 2 parts which strayed from the fps framework of the game and attempted to do some platforming.. which might have worked if it was interspersed with some more action. I found SP to be a fun challenge and I loved it when the game gave you the options of how YOU wanted to take down the enemy weather it be Long range with a rifle or stealthily with the knife or just go in guns blazing it is truly what gaming is about for me. The owl gadget is also an impressive and well executed feature of this game and with out him the game might have become a serious grind.

    MP is well done with silky smooth 60 fps for the most part. I also love the feeling of the tide of battle changing as groups of soldiers trade fire on either sides of the battlefield, something that isn't seen in other modern day shooters as it only takes 1 or 2 bullets to die in most other games. This game has also brought me right back into sci-fi which is great (the real world can be a drag.)

    Small detail is where this game shines. Textures are full and rich. Foliage and grass finally looks realistic, the gameplay in general feels photorealistic. While screenshots of the next gen games for PS4/One may allow nitpickers to find minute flaws or in the extremest case even compare some games to previous gen, you will only be able to experience next generation gaming when you feel the physics and gameplay of the experience.

    I don't want to spoil a minute of this game for anyone, so I will say only this. A core game mechanic is a personal drone that is given to you to perform various tasks as well as assist in battle. This adds a whole new level of strategy over some generic FPS.

    I may upset some by saying this. While not as groundbreaking as the Halo series was when it hit the market, this title is better and more enjoyable (to me) than Halo 3 and 4. This is coming from someone who plans to buy an Xbox One when Halo 5 is released.

Keep in mind that the developpers worked on this game for only two years and a half, and most of the    This game is amazing.

    First of all, it is amazingly beautiful. 1080p always make a difference, whatever some might say.The volumetric lights, the shadows, the textures, the particle effects, the explosions, everything is very impressive for a console launch game, not to say gorgeous. Keep in mind that the developpers worked on this game for only two years and a half, and most of the time on an uncomplete hardware.

    The framerate is also very good, and I say that as a PC gamer. It never goes under 30fps, but can go way above that. And that can be a little problem if you prefer a stable framerate. Most of the time, it goes up and down between 30 and 45. But it doesn't affect the experience at all, trust me.

    The main campaign story is also very good It's not as good as TLOU's story (for example), and by far, but it's still very enjoyable. And compared to the previous Killzone, needless to say it's way better. The characters are also well made (I just LOVE Echo), and their animations (body and face) are very well done. Kudos to Guerrilla for the graphics of this game, it's just amazing.

    The musics are very good as well, each side of the wall has it's own musical ambiance. The gunshots also sound amazing, you can hear the echo in each room, and it's never the exact same sound, since the architecture of the room has an influence on it. A small detail, but still impressive.

    Personnally, I didn't even rush the campaign, and I finished it on Normal difficulty in about 11 hours. Oh, and by the way, this game can be heard sometimes. Like VERY hard. Not going to spoil anything, but some levels may just make you rage. I personnally liked that, it gave a little old school feeling to the game.

    So for the single player mode, it's a 9/10.

    And now the multiplayer. First of all, the graphical difference between SP and MP is barely noticeable. Maybe a few particle effects removes, and the volumetric lights aren's as good, but it's still gorgeous. And the framerate is 40-60 fps. Still a bit unstable, but still very smooth.

    The Warzone is just perfect, in my opinion. You can literally do whatever you want: choose the amount of players, the rules, the weapons available, etc... And there are TONS of obectives to complete. If I remember well, the exact number is 1500. Quite a lot, if you ask me.

    And for the ones who are worrying about the heavy gameplay, it's gone. It's still not as fast as some other FPS, but it's better this way imo: it's just more realistic. You're no Flash Gordon, you actually feel like you have a weight, and a body.

    I give the MP a 10/10, because I'm already having a blast playing it. And as for the PSN issues, I didn't get any, same thing for the players I played with or against. Lucky me, I guess.

    So, this game is, by far, the best of the series. I liked KZ 2, but KZ SF just send it back to Kindergarten, playing with little rocks.
    I'm going to insist on this, but I'm a PC gamer, and I'm quite used to see beautiful games, but Killzone Shadow Fall is simply gorgeous. It's a very good thing, considering it's a lauch game. I just can't wait to see what the next games will look like, but this is very promising.
    The framerate is smooth, but suffers little drops sometimes, but nothing really bad.

    In a nutshell, this game is awesome. Already a must have for every PS4 owner.

    Oh, and by the way, don't mind the average score (7.7 when I wrote this review), because a ton of trolls just give it 0s because they can't stand the truth. Probably PC trolls, or Xbox trolls, I don't know, but they're all idiots, regardless of the platform they play on.

    Straight 10/10, I really enjoyed myself on this game, and I'm going to enjoy myself even more in the days and weeks to come. Amazing game. Thanks Guerrilla     … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great shooter, great environments, awesome multiplayer. Not sure why this didn't review higher with critics. I think people expect a huge leap in this generation's consoles, but it never ever works out that way. This is a solid start to a more powerful console.… Expand

    Just played the game after frustration with BF4 servers and all I can say is that this game doesn't look like anything innovative to say the least.

The game actually feels kinda dull however this does not mean it is bad. For those of you who have never played a Killzone title, this game is a must buy if you get the PS4 because this game offers an interesting mix of common modern shooters and sci fi shooters.

    Campaign
    Killzone: Shadow Fall takes place 30 years after the events of KZ 3 and Vekta city is divided. The story reminds the player immediately of a cold war esque story between good and evil however if you watch the trailers, you will delve deeper into a twisted story of corruption and lies. As a noob of the Killzone series I immedeatly played hard mode and noticed no difficulty in killing my foes however this may be just for the few starting levels. I hope that is ineed the case.

    Campaign Rating: 8/10

    Multiplayer

    I am not sure if I am somehow very good at Killzone or if everyone is just really bad at the multiplayer but either way I got a lot of fun out of the multiplayer as I really loved the gameplay in the trailers. I highly recommend newbies to the franchise to try out fighting bots or going to one of the low level Warzones. The elephant in the room (As said by TotalBiscuit almost in every video) that I think the critics are getting attacked by fans of the Playstation is that the game offers no innovation in anyway when it comes to multiplayer. It's true. Critics are right that the game has no innovation with game modes I mean for crying out loud, is search and destroy in every game now including Battlefield 4? They aren't right though that the multiplayer. It still remains a fun thing to go on after playing the campaign for a bit.

    MP Rating 7/10

    I left the PS3 in 2009 but never played a single KZ so this was my first and I have to say that this game is very fun and I highly recommend people in my shoes do the same.

    Final Verdict: 8/10 Yes you should buy this game.    … Expand

    Excellent game with good graphics, good sound, better than average gameplay which has few tricks to it, and Killzone's multiplayer mode(s) from the previous titles in the series.

Some moments in single-player campaign can be frustrating if you've never played a Killzone game before. Map design is little bit like in Crysis 2 where you have 2-3 ways to approach things. However most of the time it turns into just basic corridor shooting. AI opponents do their job well. Overall a good launch title.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played both Killzone two and three when I had the ps3 and Killzone Shadowfall can be known as improvement to this shooter franchise. The game first of all is really beautiful especially in the introduction of some missions. The game story is what kind of brought my marks down, the story was not boring or uninteresting or difficult to keep up with it was just the fact that I could see a lot of opportunity's for the single player to be better. the main character is Vektan while your enemy's are Helgans. I always think of Helgans as the good guys in Killzone because of their back story which is actually reflected a lot in this games story. now a spoiler which is my reason behind this is because in one mission of the game you actually play as a Helgan on a stealth mission. I loved this mission and I wished is there were more missions like this cause as the Helgan you had a invisibility cloak that made it more fun. The use of the owl was a interesting feature with the touch pad which I would like to see similar integration in other video games. the combat in Killzone seems the same as ever with a few tweaks. I do miss the use of Co-Op in the two previous games that myself and my best friend use to enjoy. The multiplayer I feel has improved gamplay wise and me and my friends have been enjoying since we got the PS4. I have not when playing this game suffered glitches and so that ends my review.… Expand

    Killzone: SF is a brilliant and challenging game with excellent AI and sublime graphics, gameplay and a far better Multiplayer than COD. Definitely one of the best single player FPS out!

    Killzone is such an underrated shooter game, this is much better than COD Ghosts in my opinion. The game loads incredibly fast, even faster than COD or Battlefield, and the campaign, while the story isn't perfect, it's very challenging and killing Helghasts has never been more fun.

    Killzone Shadow Fall is like a science fiction anti manicheism game with some Far Cry 3's fun gameplay. Gorgous graphic, addictive multiplayer. Better than the previous Killzone by far.

    if your all about graphics than this is the game for you, but if your more of the person that cares about the gameplay than its a maybe. If you ask someone like me than i give it an 8 all around only because i am a big killzone fan but you dont care about that, you just want to know how the game is. I approve it

    We can all agree that this is one of the best looking games available today. I have a top-spec gaming PC and the PS4's graphic prowess and fluidity still blow me away. This is where optimisation for consoles really shines.

    Graphics aside, I have read several reviews describing Killzone: Shadow Fall as boring. Phrases like "cookie-cutter FPS" are commonplace, and some say the breathtaking graphics only offset the "tedium" of gameplay. I couldn't disagree more. It may be predictable, but only in an exemplary fashion. Much like a Steinway & Sons piano, you know what to expect and there are no surprises but it still plays beautifully. This isn't a boring FPS, it is everything an FPS should be.

    The campaign on hard is pretty hard. It makes for a fun challenge and demands strategic efforts, somewhat unlike CoD and Halo. Killzone's campaign feels, to me, a little bit like the best bits of Ghost Recon and CoD combined, with a unique Killzone essence thrown in to the mix. The story, however, is bad. It's a childish commentary on foreign policy which, I can't imagine, would be taken seriously by anyone with a real interest in such issues. A political discussion isn't what an FPS is for, obviously, so perhaps we shouldn't be too critical of it. I just can't help thinking that they should have stuck to a less politically orientated story.

    The multiplayer is excellent: queues are short, game modes are interesting, maps are fantastic and the roles are more balanced than in the previous Killzone. The scout's invisibility now works in a way that is useful but not overpowered/used by every single player on the map. Every role (scout, assault and support) is useful and remains viable even when played as they are intended to be played. Much unlike trying to play a sniper like a sniper on CoD (think jumping around like a cloaked rabbit, quick-scoping a man wielding a heavy machine gun 10 metres away).

    If you like FPS games further than just CoD, you will like Killzone: Shadow Fall. A must-buy for any PS4 owner.    … Expand

    I honestly went into this game with the expectations that i wasnt going to like it, but it turns out i was wrong, thankfully. Its fun to play. The Multiplayer is fast paced at times and seems to be decently balanced, and the Campaign is short but not so short it feels incomplete but its got a good story that ends on the perfect note.

    This game is beautiful, beautiful countryside and a fabulous story. I put 9 because the multiplayer interface is not nice, it is very poorly done, but the multiplayer itself is great, very well. So -1 due to the interface.

    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.
