Killzone: Shadow Fall - Intercept Critic Reviews

It’s a massive shame that so few people are playing Intercept so soon after release – and that the number is only going to go down – because Intercept is excellent, a diamond finally cut from the rough potential of Killzone Shadow Fall. Fragile systems that must be balanced during relentless assaults, clever enemies and perfectly built maps combine to make it the best mode in the game.

Overall, for $10, Intercept is a pretty fun mode. I will say, if you plan on picking it up, make sure you have a few people to play with. Playing this solo or with only two players can be very challenging.

What Killzone Shadow Fall Intercept lacks in maps and level design, it makes up with strong, team oriented gameplay and a deep points/reward system that keeps you going. Intercept certainly renews the excitement of owning Killzone Shadow Fall.

It's not perfect, but there aren't many multiplayer experiences on PS4 that can touch it.

A decent co-op addition to one of the PS4's best shooters, but not exactly inventive.

Knowing your role makes Intercept one of the better cooperative experiences available on PlayStation 4 right now.

A fantastic little package that does a great job of adding to the experience that the game already offers. But, the amount of value you can get out of it will greatly depend on your ability to rally friends or find quality players online to take on the game’s four maps.

Killzone: Shadow Fall – Intercept is a fun add-on to the base game and serves as a competent standalone product.

Overall though, it’s a fun new game mode. And for Killzone - it’s an interesting experience working as a squad, rather than a group of individuals. There is no question that you’ll need to work together to win the game.

The Intercept DLC pack may feel like something that should have launched with the base game, but it's a welcome addition.

The DLC is let down by a dwindling online user base, but get a group of friends together, and the reasonably priced add-on will almost always hit the mark.

Killzone Shadow Fall's Intercept expansion uses fresh ideas to raise the dramatic intensity on both ends of the win-lose spectrum, but the novelty wears thin, leaving predictable co-op fun that struggles to make a lasting impression.

Killzone; Shadow Fall – Intercept mixes some new twists on the Horde idea with some great team-based gameplay, but its lack of content volume and overall options unfortunately dull some of this new mode’s shine.

That being said, when the overall quality of the production continues to shine through, and those four maps and classes are quite well-developed and presented, and the fun factor is undeniable, I have no choice but to recommend it.

The meagre number of maps means repetition soon kicks in, but the gorgeous visuals, frenetic carnage and demanding teamwork make for the tightest Horde variant since Mass Effect 3's. A surprisingly good time for all.

Intercept is a surprisingly enjoyable experience that entwines havoc, synergy, and drama into a lovely bundle. It's a tad repetitive and light on content, though, so I certainly hope Guerrilla Games continues to support the expansion as it nears the standalone release.

It might not be original but it’s polished and practical; not the most effusive of compliments, but a recommendation nonetheless.

With some more larger maps, more charismatic bosses and a lower price, Intercept would've deserved a higher rating, but as it stands this Killzone: Shadow Fall co-op DLC is just for die hard fans of the Guerrilla Games shooter. The changes made to the classical structure of the Horde mode are welcome, but beyond that there is not much to be satisfied here.

This is a technically competent add-on that feels like it was designed to latch onto a growing co-op trend and to plug a gap in the game's multiplayer repertoire because the market research said to, rather than something designed with some real heart and soul behind it.

Intercept is a fun 4 players coop mode, but the price seems a bit high for only 4 maps.
