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.

  • 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

Killzone: Shadow Fall review – fourth time?lucky?

Cleverly progressive one moment and tediously predictable the next, next gen Killzone has all the same strengths and flaws as the older games – just now with even better graphics.
Pros:
  • Great graphics and some interesting ideas, particularly the more open world style levels
  • Multiplayer seems promising, with some excellent maps and custom game modes
Cons:
  • Extremely uneven story campaign, with ineffective set pieces and a curious lack of enemies
  • Boring plot and characters
  • The OWL is underused and the weapons uninspired

Killzone: Shadow Fall Review

Killzone has always had a message hidden in the battles and bloodshed on other worlds, shining a light on our own struggles and the futility of war. The developers at Guerrilla Games have drawn from world wars, past and present, to fuel the fires of conflict between Vektan and Helghan forces, but my...

Killzone: Shadow Fall (PS4) Review

Let's get something out of the way real quick: I'm awful at FPS games. I mean, just terrible. I grew up in an era when a "shooter" meant you held the Nintendo Zapper in your hand, or pumped quarters into a machine that let you use the revolver on coin-op Hogan's Alley.

Killzone: Shadow Fall

Very few games have had a history as colorful as Killzone . Originally touted as a Halo killer for the PlayStation 2, the game had no chance to live up to the hefty standards given to it. It was an average shooter, though that's not what was expected of it, and was therefore considered a flop.
