    For the first few hours KF2 really holds your attention with dynamic gameplay and constant gore-fest. But soon it turns stale, as there’s only one mode (plus a variation of it in which other players can join as monsters), there’s only so many types of enemies, plus, maps don’t offer sufficient variety. So every battle basically follows the same scenario. If Killing Floor 2 was a cheap indie game, it would’ve been forgivable, but at $30 price point players really have a right to expect more.

    The excitement gradually wears off as matches turn into grind. Killing Floor 2 can be extremely fun when taken in small doses.

    There are not many games as cruel and bloody as Killing Floor 2. Taking down waves of huge monsters was never as satisfying as in Killing Floor 2, but the gameplay is not as solid as it should be.

    Killing Floor 2 delivers what it promises. Mindless, explosive, bloody killings of Zed hordes upon Zed Hordes. Shooting, gore and graphics are beyond satisfying, but the gameplay, due to its limited and repeated nature, falls short after some hours. Recommended for what it is, but nothing more.

    Killing Floor 2 has a lot of potential, and what it has is often pretty fun, but not enough to keep players attention for long.

    Killing Floor 2 is a much more refined game than its predecessor, but it lacks some of the depth and contents that we expect from a 2016 shooter.

    Killing Floor 2 can be a neat but casual online gore-fest. But even with the interesting classes it lacks variety in terms of enemies, bosses and thrills, so you’re limited to hours of grind on the same maps against the same groups of enemies.

    While pretty light on new features (particularly ones that could have contributed to its co-operative nature), Killing Floor 2 is still an unrelenting deluge of mindless, entertaining violence.

    Is it currently fun? Undeniably. It’s gross, silly, and more than a little thrilling, and while the matchmaking system is a bit rubbish, there are always plenty of active servers to choose from manually, ensuring that you won’t have to spend much time looking for a game. But for that single mode to remain fresh, a frequent injection of new stuff is going to be necessary.

    As it stands right now, judging it as if it were a full game, I already think a 8 is a fair grade for this game, and that's when you pretendAs it stands right now, judging it as if it were a full game, I already think a 8 is a fair grade for this game, and that's when you pretend three maps is all you're going to ever get.

    At the moment it is in the very first early access build, and the game feels like a completely overhauled and massively upgraded killing floor, except very skinny on the actual content. The basics are there, you have 4 perks with 3-4 weapons each and your full set of freaks, including 2 more variants of the cloth compared to the first game. It isn't a lot, but you have to consider that Tripwire supported the original Killing Floor standalone for close to six years with new maps, weapons and characters. I have no doubt that by the time this game hits the shelves officially, it will have more than triple the content it has now. And over the years to come I expect Tripwire to live up to their name and add yet more maps and weapons (probably paid skins too, but that shouldn't bother anyone) to their game.

    Anyway, the core game is already there and it feels very complete. The trademark authentic weapon feel is an example of the attention to detail this early access already has, each weapon looks and feels amazing, with the high-framerate animations making them incredibly satisfying to shoot and reload. They may not have a massive selection yet, but the guns they do have are absolutely amazing. The perks are limited at the moment, but still offer enough variety to keep the game interesting for at least a few more months, and by that time the game should have more content already. The game now covers melee, shotguns, rifles and some futuristic medic versions of those, and given how good every class feels I don't suppose anyone will get bored quite yet. The limited range of maps might be your biggest complaint in this early access, but three maps still do the job. You can play all three on any of the four difficulty settings, which adds some longevity to the maps. The different attacks and tactics zeds have on different difficulties should keep things fresh.

    Altogether this build feels very complete in what it has, it just doesn't have a lot yet. But for €26,99 I think you are getting a good experience quite already, and given Tripwire's track record I feel safe to recommend this game to anyone who can enjoy some co-op wave survival. The game is already very solid, and if Tripwire delivers on their promises it will offer the most bang for your buck since Skyrim.    … Full Review »

In addition to the first game this one has a lot of improvements like game mechanics,new animations for zeds,graphics,soundtrack and more. I'm writting this in the early access stage and I'm sure that tripwire will improve our game experience for this title(the game is amazing right now to play but it will be better).I really recommend this game because it is a team-based game so you can have fun with your friends and also the price is very good! The game really worth it even if it is in early access.… Full Review »
