Killzone Shadow Fall Review
The first truly next generation shooter is here. Killzone Shadow Fall builds on its predecessors, advancing the same story after a time jump taking us decades later. The Vektan and Helghast now neighbour each other, living in a delicately-balanced harmony.
Pros:
- An engaging story
- with some incredible set-pieces
- Visuals are truly next-generation
- with some superb effects
- Evolves the Killzone formula with a fantastic new world
- Shooting mechanics remain weighty
- solid and fun
- A lot of customisation in the solid multiplayer component
Cons:
- Story doesn't explore issues which the setting demands
- Open area levels are poorly executed
- with tedious gameplay and archaic design
- HUD and lighting effect issues
- Multiplayer brings unwelcome changes to points and rank systems

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. Everything is just beautiful, and I caught myself quite a lot of time just looking at the view.

Killzone: Shadow Fall Review (PS4)
Killzone: Shadow Fall takes place 30 years after the catastrophic events that took place at the end of Killzone 3 that nearly wiped out the Helghast race and left Planet Helghan in shambles.
Pros:
- I love the Helghast..
- ...and their weapons
- Great futuristic
- action movie-like music
- Absolutely stunning graphics
- Utilizes the DualShock 4 more than any other PS4 game
Cons:
- Confusing
- unclear objectives
- Forgettable characters
- Platforming and anti-gravity gameplay are a chore
- Too many frustrating moments

Not for the average Killzone fan
I have gone back and played every game in the Killzone franchise while I have been waiting in anticipation for the PS4 to come out. Each game had its pros and cons but I found myself enjoying them and the story very much.

Killzone: Shadow Fall is a gorgeous, average soldier in the PS4′s launch unit (review)
Killzone: Shadow Fall is a pretty game, gorgeous even. But the demand for moments to punctuate trailers or demos forced a sacrifice of story that it never quite recovers from. The OWL will find its place in history as one of the few controller-based mechanics to actually entertain, while the time...
Pros:
- Like most set-piece-based shooters released over the past five years, Shadow Fall knows exactly how gorgeous it can be
- Guerrilla Games' in-house Umbra3 engine is put to some serious stress tests here, with a story packed with explosions and scenic vistas.
Cons:
- Even with all of the god rays and water effects, Killzone: Shadow Fall is not a perfect visual package
- Dust particles flow charmingly through the air up close, but from a distance look like a hive of buzzing insects.

Killzone: Shadow Fall Review
Shadow Fall represents the Killzone series' coming-out party – out from being a plodding, gray war shooter through hours of bland, linear corridors. Now, it's something else entirely.
Pros:
- Stunning graphics
- Reworked gameplay
- Fun multiplayer
Cons:
- Occasionally poor enemy AI
- Questionable non-shooter sections

Killzone: Shadow Fall
It must have seemed impossible at the time when Sony contacted Guerrilla and asked them to work on a sequel to Killzone 3 on PlayStation 4. They were given two years and a fairly modest budget of just under ￡30 million (modest compared other massive projects that is).

Killzone: Shadow Fall review
Sure, Killzone: Shadow Fall has its lulls, but it's a mostly enjoyable experience from start to finish. This is no doubt the PlayStation 4's strongest exclusive launch title.
Pros:
- Excellent gunplay and ocassional open-ended mission structure
- Surprisingly powerful campaign moments
- Well-crafted multiplayer offering
Cons:
- Main characters are often unconvincing
- Some levels feel too constricting
- Actions of AI soldiers are sometimes questionable
