+/reviewers knocked this game and battlefield for the campaign mode, yet it held no weight in battlefield's score, meanwhile, reviewers pretty much ignored the multiplayer portion of this game (the best part of the game).
--------------------------------------------------------------
Completely different from all of the other killzone games. The color scheme is no longer dark and gritty. It's futuristic and colorful. The missions are no longer "shoot your way from point A to point B." They're somewhat "free-roam to which objective you want to attack first." The graphics and sound are amazing. The only downfall is the cut-scenes. There are barely any, and they don't really flesh the characters out.
No more one shot kill scrubby marksman sniper rifle. The new rifle is bolt action and requires you to "zoom out" after every shot. The new turrets are actually useful. They can hold down an area easily if placed properly and are very strong. Portable spawns are back in the form of spawn beacons. The classes are perfectly balanced. Where one class has better guns (Assault), it will have weaker abilities. Where one class has weaker guns (Support), it will have stronger abilities. A good user can dominate with any class. This is the first online multiplayer that I say "is about as perfectly balanced as it gets." The online battles are close up and intense. The maps are not symmetrical, but are fair and do not give any team an advantage.
The "professional" idiot reviewers judged this game solely by the single player and paid no mind to the multiplayer. However, they said battlefield had a terrible campaign (like bf3)too, but BFs campaign held almost no weight in the scores. Don't listen to those morons. They will say the same thing about two different games, but weigh those same complaints differently in the overall score. No fanboy here, I like both games and owned multiple entries of both series. I just wanted to put this out there for the potential customers that might have be scared to pick up Shadowfall. They took a big risk, and I couldn't be happier with it.

Game is great, visuals are great, it's a nice change of pace fps from call of duty. I was a xbox guy last generation but made the switch to ps4, this game is kind of like halo, not as good, but a good substitute. Better than what it has been reviewed by the so-called experts. I haven't beaten the game but it's challenging and overall, a good time. The multiplayer is something you must try if you pick this up. Very fun!Best Deals for Killzone: Shadow Fall (PlayStation 4)
Excellent Game! Most people think this is like all other Killzone games, its far from it. Most people dont know this game uses the same engine as Destiney.This game is eye popping candy, with excellent surround sound. Visuals are stunning, and the game play is fantastic with controlls that most FPS gamers are familiar with.
The story is okay, with only a 24 man mulitplayer, which is the only thing that takes away from this game, however the graphics and game play will have you looking the other way.
This game really shows off what the PS4 really can do, and to get this kind of performance you would need to pay 1,600$+ for a gaming PC to get it.
I highly Recommend this!
Honest reviews on Killzone: Shadow Fall (PlayStation 4)
Summary: After the Day1 update and we were able to play some multiplayer I have to say that if you're a fan of the multiplayer of previous Killzone games, definitely get this. If you're in more for the campaing and single player thing, maybe stick with what we all know and get some of the third party games out there like Call of Duty: Ghosts PlayStation 4 or Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Limited Edition PlayStation 4I'm probably not the best person to review this game if you're looking for a comparison between previous games in the series and this one since I've already played a couple of hours of Killzone 3 Playstation 3, the prequel to this. I'll keep updating the review as I play more of the campaign.
Graphics 10/10: Some of the levels are incredibly big and really detailed. Character models have improved, even though they looked good on the PS3 you could still see some jagged borders, especially in facial animations. Particles and explosions look a lot better too. As a game that will probably help define the launch of a new generation of consoles, it is probably a good baseline to what we can expect this year and I can't wait for the games that come out in the following years.
EDIT: I give it 10/10 after I've seen the entire campaign. Man oh man how this game looks cool!
Sound 10/10: I feel like sound design/music get forgotten in videogames most of the time. If it's bad people will notice but if it's as good as this, people take it for granted. Before playing Killzone I thought that for FPS, one of the best sound designs I've heard was Battlefield 3 Playstation 3 or Battlefield 4 PlayStation 3 and this game's is probably up there too. If you can play this with a big surround sound system, you MUST do it (I still can't use my PS3 virtual surround sound headset)
Controls 8/10: The main complaint I've had with this series is the way they handle movement as opposed to how CoD and BF do it. Maybe I'm just used to the other ones a lot more but it takes me a while to get the feel of it. Maybe "heavier movements" would be the correct way to describe it. Sniping on this game is fantastic, just way until you do it.
Plot 7/10: (In progress). From what I've seen so far, it started setting plot lines in a good way, you can tell it's building the tension for a big ending (I hope), good voice acting helps a lot because it makes it more believable.
EDIT: What I said that it's building tension for a big ending/climax... nope... didn't happen. Just finished the campaign and besides admiring how beautiful every level is the story leaves a lot to be desired. It does not reach the level of action and excitement we've come to expect from a big AAA shooter like this
Having played Knack (PlayStation 4) (you can check out my review of that one too!) and this, I think I'm going to spend most of my time on this one for the first couple of weeks.

Heyyy, who put exploration in my Killzone? Shadow Fall is quite a departure from K2 and K3. The maps in the campaign are huge, full of nooks and pathways that lead to rooms with mundane things such as domitories, restrooms, storage houses, often with nothing much of interest to pick up in them. Thats actually a GOOD thing. Exploring a facility and finding these non-essential places greatly adds to the immersion of the game, like a Fallout or Elder Scrolls game does.These NPCs need places to sleep, places to uh, relieve themselves, places to hang their coat and boots and the end of the day. The amount of detail really makes this game world feel lived-in. What I disliked about the past two Killzone games was that for the most part, pretty much led you down a one way path with not much else to do but kill kill kill. In Shadow Fall, there are stretches of the game where you wont encounter enemies for several minutes at a time encouraging the player to explore and do the little tasks on your mission's to-do list.
Great improvement for the series. It kinda reminds me of the first Killzone, but better. Gameplay wise, the controls are weighty, but have more snap when going to your sights. Best of all, NO AIM ASSIST. So every kill you get is really accomplished with your skill and not the game helping you lock on to the enemy like in CoD.
