    Best FPS of next gen. It reminds you of how fun, and what a FPS is capable of doing. Addictive gameplay, good graphics, and a wide variety of weapons.

    Awesome Game.
    It's the first Killzone Title I've played so far (except the one on the PSP a couple of years ago) and really, really like it. The Story is good, but I recommend to play at least one of the predecessors or research a little bit on google, before diving into Shadow Fall. Graphics are really great, still one of the best looking Ps4 Games out there, but the best thing about    Awesome Game.

Graphics are really great, still one of the best looking Ps4 Games out there, but the best thing about this game is the multiplayer mode. It's definitely not as fast paced as COD, but that's good! You need to have a more tactical approach, to be successful, keep your support characters alive, place important spawn beacons and do not rush in like in other first person shooters.

Right off the bat I understood precisely what they meant.

    Shadowfall is no corridor shooter like the previous titles, it tries to innovate the experience by creating a more thoughtful way of approaching combat from the first person perspective. Gone have the days of facing wave after wave of enemies being the meat of the game, instead you are forced to take a more conservative, tactical approach. But does it work? Yes and no. Once I got used to the pacing and what Guerrilla were trying to do here I found the game very enjoyable, less linear and more expansive than previous Killzone games. However, on harder difficulties this is what kills the gameplay experience and turns it into a frustration filled mess. The lack of a straight line path means that enemies can come from anywhere and without a detailed hud telling you where they or where they may come from through the use of maybe, an objective marker, you are left wondering just who killed you this time. This is by far the games biggest flaw, but on lower difficulties I didn't find this to be a problem, but if there are any trophy hunters out there, do yourself a favor, and play the game on normal difficulty first.

    Being a shadow marshal and not a grunt on the front line means that combat has become a lot more technical, you don't face as many enemies and you have abilities to keep things interesting. Your drone gives you advantages such as shields and stun shocks to help out when things get tough and it also helps you traverse the beautiful open terrain. It is accessible through the use of the DS4's touch pad, which I think worked well and was a nice touch. Weapons feel great, and when your in those skirmish situations where it's clear where the enemies are, combat is very fluid. The enemies vary in difficulty as you face different factions within the Helgast military. Most importantly to note however is the lack of a constant character that you have to annoyingly follow around, leading you from this objective to the next, instead now you choose how to approach each combat situation which has been pulled off brilliantly, you can go in loud, or stealth your way through. But be warned, doing the latter is challenging due to the AI's credible intelligence. This is the freedom that Shadowfall gives you as Guerrilla try to drag it away from the dull affair we experience with whatever Call of Duty we might be playing.

    On to the graphics, they're stunning. Showcasing what can already be achieved with the PS4 and I was blown away with chapter 2 of the game. Even in multiplayer the graphics hold up really well. In another change to the way Guerrilla have gone bout Shadowfall, it is a lot more colorful a game. Say bye bye to grey Helghan corridors and say hello to lush, vibrant environments that range from the slums of New Helghan to the beauty shown in the woodland area of chapter 2. Weapons look and sound great, textures are detailed and varied, character models are fantastic although lip syncing could be improved. Over all though the presentation here is fantastic.

    The story for Killzone can be summed up like this: It takes off a few decades after the events of Killzone 3 and you're living side by side with the Helghast in a Berlin Wall-like scenario. You're Lucas Kellan a trained shadow marshal, after unearthing some secrets of the VSA and Helgast you learn that a war is coming, and go on a roller-coaster ride to stop it from endangering the lives of innocent people on both sides of the conflict.

    If Killzone has ever had anything going for it, it's a dedicated and loyal fan base. To this day you can get into games on KZ2 servers and play a game, and it's good to see that Guerrilla have created another brilliant online experience. Multiplayer is smooth and I experienced no lag. Players can jump in to official warzones, user created war zones of different levels of awesomeness or create their own. You're not limited to what you can do with Shadowfall's multiplayer, and that's awesome and is fully acknowledged by letting you choose from the full range of weapons, right from the start. A brilliant stat tracking mechanism is also in place, so you always know exactly how you're doing and how far you're off from the next upgrade for your weapon. In short if you've played Killzones multiplayer before, you'll fit right in here, and if you're sick of Call of Duty's copy and paste online experience, Shadowfall may surprise you, it's definitely worth a punt and overall I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this game amidst some of the negative reviews it's been given. The story may be not much more than a technical demo for what the PS4 is capable of, but it definitely showcases the types of jaw dropping experiences we could see going forward. It is a worthy launch title, a blast to play.    … Expand

    The multiplayer for this game is IMO the best FPS multiplayer's available (and I never miss an FPS). By a considerable amount this game lays waste to its competitors and has an awesome DLC policy.

    Mediocre campaign, but multiplayer is a lot of fun. It's pretty rare to get spawn camped in multiplayer, because the spawns are off limits to the enemy team and usually have 3 or 4 different exits.

If you do end up getting spawn camped, there are several teleport abilities you can use to escape. Anyway, I mention this because spawn camping is a problem in most FPS games but in Killzone it is rare (but can still happen if one team is way more aggressive than the other).

    The abilities are pretty fun. Cloaks, teleportation, turrets, shields, stun drones, more. But some of them are a bit over the top. The air support drone for example is pretty obnoxious. It flies around and forces you to hide behind a wall until it goes away or else you get killed. Spider grenades can be very obnoxious, too.

    The worst part about multiplayer is that some players lag so badly they're basically invincible. They'll warp around and stutter and you can shoot them, and they will die, but sometimes only a minute later after they've killed you and the rest of your buddies. I'm serious, you can shoot them, run away, hide in a corner and half a minute later it will say you shot them to death. Thankfully, this problem is not nearly as bad as it was when the game first launched. Another problem that seems to be caused by lag is that in laggy games, ladders either become unusable, or you get stuck on them! Very annoying.

    Last month-ish the developers released a map pack with four or five-ish new maps for free. That was a nice gesture in this era of paid DLC. They also released an expansion with a new class and some new guns but you have to pay for that.

    Overall I think this is a lot better than CoD: Ghosts and it's my favorite multiplayer game so far for the PS4.    … Expand

    Singleplayer: 7 Multiplayer: 10. A decent singleplayer campaign that shows off the ps4's power is more than complimented by its awesome and team orientated multiplayer. I haven't played a multiplayer that has so many people who co-operate with fairness and respect. Mic switched on or not I always get helped and revived and I do the same. Great game all round.

Killzone Shadow Fall does a little better job in reducing some of the repition, but FPS get a little repetitive no matter what game it is. I love the single player, great graphics and the controls are pretty simple. Online sucks but no worries i dont play it much

Stealth is also a viable, rather satisfying way to tackle various levels with interesting takedowns and melee kills. The falling knife kill also adds a sense of verticality that you wouldn't normally find in generic, brown first person shooters. This game... Is most certainly not brown! Go buy it now!… Expand

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

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

    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.
