  This isn’t to say I didn’t have fun with Intercept; I did. Its core mechanics are solid, and the gameplay is engaging. But there just wasn’t enough here to warrant a standalone purchase. ...It may even be why Sony put links to purchase the full game in the main menu… but that just means Intercept is a demo players are expected to buy, not a free sample to get you excited for what’s coming.

  Killzone: Shadow Fall - Intercept's focus lies firmly on the franchise's fantastic gunplay, and it's all the better for it. Requiring a good amount of coordination and teamwork, the expansion won't suit everyone, but victory tastes all the sweeter because of its often intense difficulty. 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.

  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. Still, if you’re looking for more Killzone, or if you want to jump back into it, this is a really fun mode to play and it’s well worth the money.

  7.0

  It's typically a dynamic and engrossing experience, but could use a bit of tinkering in the overall difficulty and balancing department. ...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.

  8.0

  Killzone: Shadow Fall – Intercept is a fun add-on to the base game and serves as a competent standalone product. All the ingredients are here for an exciting co-op game, and Guerrilla Games mixes them together with ease. Having full four players matches leads to Helghast killing bliss, although any less might result in brutal Helghast bullets raining down on you.

  7.5

  Finally, the things separating Intercept from the countless horde mode copycats on the market are diminished by recognizable cooperative tricks. ...Intercept’s new ideas are great fun in its opening hours, but the predictability that sets in may only hold the long-term attention of those positively in love with Killzone's satisfying shooting. It’s a fun diversion with cool ideas and one of PS4’s better co-op experiences, but not much more.
