    Not everyone is a fan of how the Killzone games evolved. But Shadow Fall was a great opener for the PS4. Overall rating: 8.0.

    Pretty FPS that's a nice blend of action and stealth and which owes more than a little debt to the Crysis games.

    The game campaign section was not at all as good as the killzone 2004 version of the campaign that I had played before, and I think this title was weakened in this version.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    I though this game only has beautiful graphics and that's it. But no,it has an interesting story, the levels are different and really enjoyable. It is not boring, worth the money.

    This game is cool and epic. It's fun and I love it. If you don't care about story or just like Killzone and shiny graphics then it's for you. KZSF is good. How can you say this is the worst Killzone when KZ1 is literally unplayable?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. killzone: shadow fall is a great shooting game and I recommend people who have not played it to play it and people who played the first two hours of the game and did not like to try the game after these two hours because the first two hours of the game are terrible and unbelievable in any way but after those two hours Great gameplay, the dubbing in the game excellent psychic graphics (for the launch game and the beginning of the previous generation) and the gameplay is very fun, the weapons feel good and the sound is great, the game has lots of ways to kill the enemies of the game and it is very satisfying to come satisfies me.
    In short killzone: shadow fall is a brilliant game and sucks me that people do not like the game just because of its first two hours, recommended for anyone who has PS4 and PS5.    … Expand

    I know this review is a little late but this is a very good ps4 launch game, the campaign is intriguing but short. The graphics were the best around for the time. And the gadgets I had a lot of fun with.. in my opinion a heavily underrated, under appreciated shooter. 8.4/10

    The best killzone ever, best PS4 FPS ever. Its not perfect though. it starts real good but starts turning boring as you progress. Loved the story but the some of the levels were too boring to complete and droped it several times, tooke me a while to complete it. Its a solid original FPS experience that every hardcore FPS shooter fan should have.

    Good game bad story though that can be improved in 5 that is if sony doesn't do a ea and kill the franchise but it still felt like killzone and that's all the matters also they tried that's all u can do in life nothing is perfect not even games or companies so please sony bring out killzone 5 and make it a rememberral experience

    Juego muy interesante, es un shooter bastante completo y bueno para ser de los primeros juegos de PS4, ambientación buena, variedad de armas y situaciones, Es un poco repetitivo a veces y su dificultad es un poco alta.

    A great launch title to the PS4. I miss the heavy feel to the weapons like the first two had, but there's still a unique feel here. This is a console first-person shooter that doesn't include aim assist in online multiplayer, which is very uncommon.

    KILLZONE: SHADOW FALL, for me, is a step back from previous games in terms of the unwanted big sandbox maps which make the missions drag out for longer than they should and some boring/annoying back-tracking and navigation can be a pain sometimes aswell.

    I really wanted to say this game is not that good. But it does deliver everything you want from a classic fps. I could not find any bugs, artwork is breathtaking, 60 fps, superb compatibility with ps vita, music, atmosphere stolen from Blade runner. I just couldn't find any major issue.

    As a PS4 launch title, Shadow Fall was above all a graphics showcase for Sony's new powerful system. The missions are very varied, but the game is not as action-packed and fun as previous episodes in the series. Sometimes, finding the right path can be frustrating and some passages are overly difficult. The best looking episode in the series yet, but also the weakest overall.

    Liked the game! Interesting universe and a good story, a huge variety of beautiful scenery with high-tech graphics and sound. In multiplayer, the game reveals itself even better. Recommend! Sorry for anything not yet heard about the new part..

    A fantastic game, with superb multiplayer, falls short for me as the story seemed just a bit ridiculous. Graphics are lovely, and the gameplay is solid.

    A killzone with taste of fun and boredom

    + amazing graphics
    + fun multiplayer
    + mostly fun campaign
    + good maps , guns.....
    negative
    - sometimes boring campaign
    - clichés in story
    not a perfect shooter game, no even far from that but is still better then the call of duty's ( since black ops 2)
    and is just gorgeous

    O.K. where do I start I have a long history of hating on this game and I actually bought it 2x before really getting into it. Let me start by saying, I love killzone 3. I thought the game looked amazing, played great was exciting and innovative. I was very excited for shadowfall and soon after I got my new ps4 bought the game pretty cheap maybe $25 used at gamestop.

I thought the game looked amazing, played great was exciting and innovative. I was very excited for shadowfall and soon after I got my new ps4 bought the game pretty cheap maybe $25 used at gamestop. I put the game in and immediately started hating on it comparing it to killzone 3. In addition it plays alot different than a lot of other shooters including killzone 3. When I 1st picked it up I got killed over and over. I got so frustrated and sold it condemning the game as garbage and being very public about my opinion.

    Fast forward to dec 2016 and I get a $5 coupon from gamestop to spend on something used. I see shadowfall was $10 so now I can get it for $5. I look up a few youtube gameplay videos and decided maybe I was in a bad mood that day or just into another game's charm's (I think I was all into destiny at the time). I get the game home pop it in and start on the campaign, I made a few adjustments (gamma to 85%) so I could see better, that was part of the issue last time the lighting is so good the sun was flaring in my eyes and the smoke was throwing off my depth perception (I'm old). Once that was strait and I got the controls down I was off and running. I really liked the campaign. Its beautiful, plays so tight and is very challenging. Most levels are high up in the sky and the sense of height is breath taking and nerve racking at the same time. I think the campaign is about 10 hours. Its not only shooting there are a bunch of other thing to do as well. But its a fun ride...

    Mutliplayer has 3 mode mode and is all team based, I found a games no problem with other players. Bots are available too. There is a co-op mode "dlc only" available if your interested (it's $9.99) where you and 4 players can do missions, I never played and understand I understand its dead because nobody bought it back in the day thats still playing. But there is enough game here to entertain you for quite awhile with the regular game. There is also clan mode where you can do 8vs8, 3vs3,4vs4 and so on. Very cool very underrated game.    … Expand

    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.
