    This game has the feel of something just being slapped together to get a PS4 exclusive out on the market. The graphics are generally fantastic and the locations are often very cool but the gameplay, controls and story are consistently weak. The controls do not allow for quick access to anything in combat so the game lacks any fluidity or opportunity to improvise.

The controls do not allow for quick access to anything in combat so the game lacks any fluidity or opportunity to improvise. If the combat in Far Cry 4 is rated anywhere from 8-9, Killzone Shadow Fall is a 5-6. The AI is unremarkable and you can often see it just standing frozen in combat until you change your position. The pacing of the game is awkward and you sometimes wonder what the hell should be happening or why you're not shooting enemies. For $50 this game is just bad, for $15 bucks this game might be acceptable if you're really bored. Overall this game feels like a tech demo to show off some cool graphics.… Expand

    Killzone: Shadow Fall is a good game that is unfortunately not as good as the previous two installments. The story is weak and disbanded, and the gameplay is repetitive. However, that being said, this is still a fun game to boot on the Playstation 4.

    That absence of meaningful evolution might be Killzone: Shadow Fall's biggest sin. For all the next-gen bluster of its visuals and the repeated blunt-force attempts to ram a message home, Guerrilla's first shot on the PS4 retreads shooter cliches, and poorly. In a launch lineup crowded with shooters, Killzone: Shadow Fall sits at the bottom.

    If you like twitchy, run-and-gun shooters like CoD, you'll probably enjoy this game. If you're the kind of person who preferred the comparatively slower pace, more strategic level design of the previous games, I would really give Shadow Fall a pass. Pretty disappointed with Guerrilla's direction here - it feels like it was made by a different studio.

    killzone Shadow Fall is great because of multiplayer. there are many beautiful maps and firefight is intense. Single player is ok to play but this game is all about multiplayer !

    Wow, hard to actually describe my disappointment after the awesomeness of KillZone3. It was obviously cobbled together on a budget in time for the launch of the PS4. One can almost smell the cynicism of Guerrilla Games knowing they have the only real FPS going into the launch of the PS4 so could make it as crap as they liked and everyone would buy it anyway.

    Compared to the awesome scenes, dialog, gameplay, script, story and cutscenes of Killzone 3, KZ4 just seems like an overly dull version of Halo. Most of the missions I had no idea of the objective, it was the same repetitive gunfight over and over again, hiding behind cover provided NO protection at all, and I actually gave up in boredom half way through when I died for about the 10th time because it just goes on and on and on and I have no idea what I'm supposed to achieve.

    I preferred KillZone 2. The story feels really childish and is not good enough for an AAA title. Maybe I'm too old for this. The soundtrack was not bad. I did not really enjoy the gameplay, except a few bigger "battles". It felt like I was playing Crysis. The campaign gets really boring fast and I wished the game would end, which happened quickly since the game is short (8 hours max). I'mI preferred KillZone 2.

    After buying the PS4, beating inFamous Second Son and being kind of satisfied with it, I predictably went on to the next (and only) major Sony exclusive - the next-gen Killzone. And sadly, I was incredibly disappointed.But let's go over all the aspects.

And sadly, I was incredibly disappointed.But let's go over all the aspects.
    The plot. It's terrible and formulaic with a bland protagonist (unlike many other FPS's he can talk, but God, I wish he couldn't) and boring supporting characters. The ending deserves further berating, but that'd mean spoilers. Just know that this is one of the worst endings I've ever seen in a game, somewhat akin to Mass Effect 3.
    The gameplay. Shadow Fall is different from Killzone 3 in many ways. Instead of being a fun rollercoaster ride, it now (allegedly) offers more freedom of choice and tactical options. The sad thing is that in theory updating gameplay in a longgoing series this way should be refreshing, but in reality, it is just outright boring and irritating. For instance, you are given an ability to drop-kill and throw a knife after meelee. (Yes, exactly as in Far Cry 3), but in practice you can hardly use it in stealth because it is virtually non-existent (You'll be lucky to stealth-kill just one Helghast soldier, they'll spot you right after) or in action because going out of cover to meelee will get you killed in no time. I would specifically like to point out the terrible enemy AI, who just doesn't know of the self-preservation instinct, just running straight up to you. Oh, and another thing - as most modern shooters, you can carry two weapons in Shadow Fall. But unlike those shooters, you can freely swap only one of those, with your default gun being stuck with you throughout most of the game. Whoever thought this'd be a good idea was probably a moron.
    Level design. I just wanted to cover this separately, because it's terrible. The levels are good-looking alright, but hard to navigate (No map in singleplayer). Moreover, Guerilla somewhy decided that forcing you do defend some point against waves of mindless Helghast like five times in the campaign would be fun. It's not. I've felt extremely frustrated in each of those encounters, especially in Chapter 7.
    Graphics. No complaints here. KZ3 was a pretty game and SF easily outmatches it with sharp textures and amazing effects. Just the view on Vekta city in the first levels of the game is breathtaking.
    Multiplayer. Exactly the same as in Killzone 3. The DLC model is different, yes, with maps being free but game modes and player classes being paid. But it's nothing special.
    In other words, this was a huge drop of the bar. While Killzone 3 (I haven't played 1&2) wasn't a system-seller, it was still a well-made enjoyable and entertaining shooter. Shadow Fall, however, is more of a tech demo, it's neither a system-seller, nor even something worth picking up when you buy yourself a PS4.    … Expand

    ---this was a very fun game. Because I didn't play it @ launch or even have a PS4 until Destiny bundle, I DID-NOT multiplayer. Which is probably the bread & butter..

    --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!
    ---I am Old now and I was a little kid on the couch playing GOLDEN EYE split Screen with my friends, and fast forward 6-8 years and it was the same with Halo 1.. 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!!!! I'll never forget them all saying Metal GearSo.id 4 guns of Pateiots was BD because OMG the never ending cutscenes.. Gummie a break!! In a solo campaign we live for cutscenes. That game was a gem because it was different,,,Bottom line of this loooong rant to anyone who stuck with it==different is good because of the never ending repetitiveness of it all. Kinda like the repetitiveness of this's review :D
    VERDICT-Buy it cheap like I did($18) play it casually over a week when you take a break from YOURE main game and move on.. Who wouldn't like it..oooh yeah thTs right..

    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.

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.

    I was a huge fan Killzone 1 and 2 on the PS2. Especially Killzone 1; For its time it was far ahead of many FPS games. So, here comes Killzone Shadow Fall for the PS4, I picked the game up expecting something a lot more than what I received. The graphics were good, and the gameplay mechanics were great, as always with Killzone. But everything else felt very dull and lackluster to me. I feltI was a huge fan Killzone 1 and 2 on the PS2.

I ended up returning it to GameStop after about 6 hours of gameplay and never touching it again.

    Overall, Killzone Shadow Fall is a great example of what happens when developers draw out games for too long. They had a great franchise but they beat it to death. Still, I would recommend this game to someone looking for a decent FPS game on this PS4, but it wouldn't be my first game recommendation to someone.    … Expand

It does take more effort since the Official Warzones are mission based (except for Team Deathmatch which people love for some reason. I think its boring as hell) and not just run and kill everything. Theses strategy, planning and teamwork which is so much more rewarding than simply killing.

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

    Killzone for the nextgen is good but it's not that good.
    What the game does good is the difference in missions and locations during the campaign. From open space in the fist mission and on destroyed Helghan to dirty and hopeless New Helghan. Locations look amaizing and there is a lot of detail. The OWL is a nice and interesting gimick which helps especially on harder difficulties.

The zippline was nice but you use it in two missions so it's a shame. Gunplay is solid no the CoD/Battlefield level but you won't be dissapointed.
    Music and sound assets are very good.
    Then there is the multiplayer which I liked. Interesting maps, sadly not a lot of people play it. Better then CoD on the PS4.
    Finally there is the graphic. The best looking game on nextgen there is. Maybe Destiny looks good but the facial expresionss, city and the amount of detail in the enviroment is amaizing and it runs at 1080p/60 fps that is nextgen. I know that in multiplayer it runs sub 60fps but you don't see the difference that much.
    What I didn't like is the story it was nothing amazing and the ending wasn't as good like in Killzone 2 or 3. It was missing a big punch at the end. The vengence and all is nice but it isn't the impact of killing Vasari or destroying the whole planet. The NPC are good like Sinclair and Echo but I'm missing Sev and Rico. There is also no main villan. There is the "threath" of the weapon but this is no Vasari, Orlof or Stahl from previous Killzones.
    The game is solid, multiplayer is good and if you're a looker the graphic is amaizing. 8 out of 10 for me. Got it for 10 £ and got a lot from it. If you're tired of CoD then check it out.    … Expand

    I don't have must experience with Killzone in terms of the story since I have just played the first one, so I read about it which was much interesting then playing through the game I suppose, but I still had fun blasting through these generic enemies.

    The multiplayer is where shadow fall best succeeds at. You have a much better community then CoD, and the maps are unique. No need to purchase new maps, since they come in free. The graphics and sounds are superb.

    If you are looking for a cheap (not expensive) slow paced shooter, for your Ps4, then I highly recommend Killzone: Shadow Fall!    … Expand

    The graphics are incredible, and the details of the world are impressive historiography of the single player is good, not the best game of the genre or the game of the year, but it's worth a little attention to this title, which tends to greatly improve the fufuro

    Oh dear, this was certainly not what I was expecting. This game is a prime example of a game that can 'talk the talk' but can't 'walk the walk' per se. The visuals are absolutely amazing, in fact they are some of the best I have ever seen, but that doesn't make up for the boring mission structure and repetitive gameplay.

    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.
