Killzone Shadow Fall is the sixth game of the Killzone series. Gameplay in Shadow Fall is fairly similar to previous installments, though now with more improvements. The game is much more open-ended allowing for multiple ways to reach your target and complete objectives. The player is accompanied by a companion drone called the OWL which can help you in many different ways including deploying a zip-line or stunning the enemy. Using futuristic weapons and gear allows for new stealth gameplay. The online multiplayer mode allows for up to 24-players to battle at once on any of the games default 10 maps. The level system is now challenge-based where completing any of the games many challenges will upgrade your rank. Warzone returns as an online game mode along with Team Deathmatch and Beacon Retrieval (Capture the Flag). A new feature allows for the user to create Warzones with their own specific rules and share them with the community to download and play. Read less

Relatively generic and dull. The main character voice actor’s performance is snooze worthy and the combat is solidly average. It’s not a bad game but I’ve never enjoyed any of the Killzone games so I should not have expected this one to somehow break the mould.

And done. Glad to have this finally finished. It was one of the first games I ever got for the PS4 so it's been a long time coming. I uninstalled as soon as I finished the campaign.

It was a solid experience but not without its frustrations. I wonder if we'll see anymore Killzone games in the future with Horizon steadily becoming a new and powerful IP. Time will tell.

Currently up to chapter 9 and now I'm getting my butt kicked. Haven't played a shooter this challenging in a while. I might try and beat it today since I am so close.

Currently up to chapter 9 and now I'm getting my butt kicked. Haven't played a shooter this challenging in a while. I might try and beat it today since I am so close.

As I've been playing I've been wondering why the game feels so off; I believe it could have something to do with the character's movement. It does feel substantially move clunky than your average shooter. The jumping and grabbing of ledges feels so awful and unintuitive. Your bullets also don't seem to have much effect - animation wise - when you unload into enemies. They just kind of crumble to the ground.

With that said though, the level design is gorgeous. I played through a crumbling city which looked incredible. Not bad for a first generation PS4 game.

Thought I'd come back to this one. Surprised myself when I started enjoying it. It's a bit slower paced than your average shooter in a good way, you've got to think about how you approach your shooting and platforming.

Not sure if I'll finish it today but I'm going to add it to the list of games I'll be playing …

I ended up playing through a good chunk of this one night while quite drunk and enjoyed it despite feeling that it was a bit clunky. It's on my list of games I got around launch that I never really finished so I do plan on getting back to it in the coming weeks.
