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.","34750\u002FKillzone_SF_cover.webp","34750\u002FKillzone_SF_header.webp","https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FezTaAExI-FU","2013-11-15",76.67,1937,"killzone-shadow-fall",null,[19,24],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Guerrilla Games",true,false,{"company":25,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":26},"Sony Computer Entertainment",[28,29,30],"FPS","Shooter","Action",[32],"PlayStation 4",[34,50,65,81,96,110,123,137,152,166,179,192],{"id":35,"author":36,"outlet":39,"summary":45,"review_url":46,"review_date":47,"original_score":48,"normalized_score":49},27785,{"id":37,"name":38},2913,"Mark Walton",{"id":40,"logo":41,"name":42,"website_url":43,"score_format":44},28,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpot-Logo.jpg","GameSpot","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespot.com","10","Commonplace co-op.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespot.com\u002Freviews\u002Fkillzone-shadow-fall-intercept-review\u002F1900-6415806\u002F","2014-06-26","6.0",60,{"id":51,"author":52,"outlet":55,"summary":60,"review_url":61,"review_date":62,"original_score":63,"normalized_score":64},29188,{"id":53,"name":54},3077,"Leonid Melikhov",{"id":56,"logo":57,"name":58,"website_url":59,"score_format":44},29,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGaming%20Bolt%20Logo.png","GamingBolt","https:\u002F\u002Fgamingbolt.com","Killzone: Shadow Fall is not only a technical showcase for the PlayStation 4, but it also manages to provide a intriguing single player campaign backed up by a strong multiplayer component.
