    Added microtransactions in early access, cannot skip loot crate scenes in "vault". Game is repetitive and anti consumer

    Was an amazing PVE co op shooter in 2014. Since its release it has become feature bloated to hell, including mtx which they promised would never be in the game, mediocre gamemodes that added nothing meaningful to the core game loop, unoriginal and boring to fight enemies, and cringeworthy bosses. sigh.

    Playing with friends is practically impossible without buying a server. Unacceptable

    Bought at a discount and still feeling that I was scammed. Overall impression that it is a free-to-play game which however cost money for some reason. Bad performance, bad localisation, bad servers, bad maps, bad weapons/skills/difficulty balance, extreamely slow exp gain and progress (like worst f2p-style).

And the most that pisses me off - unforgivably long launch time, probably longest in all game history of this world!
    So what Tripwire have done in these two years? Well mostly nothing except 50 Gb of skins and loot boxes.    … Expand

    German here. For an beginner this game is completely confusing for how to start a private game with a friend. After a half hour of searching I don't get it. I randomly joined into a group of people. After the first wave the connection broke from dont know where and the game crashed. If I try to browse the lobby the game freezes and I have to delete the process in another desktop. So afterGerman here.

    This review was written on day one of the public release, April 22nd 2015; I'm aware that a lot has changed, hence why you might find discrepancies between the actual state of the game and my review, however: I do believe that the key elements that should help you understand whether or not spend money for this game haven't changed yet.

    The graphic and the sound department are okay: the zed's animations are beautiful, the way the blood stains cover up the entire map, the interaction with the surroundings (think that a siren can destroy the light bulbs with her scream, making a zone dark and forcing you to use the flashlight). I've my complaints about the voice commands, which are not as fun to hear as they were in Killing Floor, but I hope that the community and the workshop will be able to remedy to what the developers didn't feel was worth a further improvement.

    ...So far, so good.

    Things start going worse when we open the option sub-menu: very few options, missing controls from KF1, as you can't switch to "last weapon" anymore, there is a whole page dedicated to the controller, with a fancy picture of an xbox 360 controller. But that's all fine! I want to pretend that this is all okay, that the controller picture is there to make the thing pretty, that they removed controls to..... I don't know! But another reason other than "console users can't map too many buttons so let's just remove functions"!

    Then you jump in a game, and the game turns out to be blatantly console friendly; if you get hit from behind or from a side, you instantly turn in the direction the hit came from: go figure how fun is to play the berserker, or even how this can help you getting killed on HoE: Flesh Pound in front of you, stupid clot behind, 180°spin *dead*.
    I spend my 3 hours zerking, as I used to do, turns out that it's not as easy as it was to head-shot a zed, and it looks like it's more luck than skill, as I still haven't found the right angle to decapitate a clot with a katana every time I want.
    But hey, am I forgetting something? As the fact that you can sprint (!?!) now? Sprinting? That's right folks! And almost no zeds can outrun you.
    Also the difficulty is much lower than it was in Killing Floor, and while this isn't necessarily bad, if you think that it's easy without perks, I imagine that having a bunch of extra fancy abilities would make the game even easier.
    As a final note, now we have eight (8) and only eight vocal commands: we can't Thank a mate (It's triggered automatically each time a mate helps you. Cute to hear, but this way you don't understand who's actually grateful for the help and who isn't), we can't Insult our mates, we can't give directions other than Follow Me. You must be wondering why... Well... the vocal commands are now accessible through a wheel that shows up when we hit the bound key. Yep. Hooray console friendly games!

    I was very hyped for Killing Floor 2, I craved it for a long time, I couldn't wait to slay zeds with hundreds of new fancy animations, HD graphic and stuff, but now that I've tried this release, I can't hide you feel such a terrible nostalgia of Killing Floor, I want to open the app 1250, load up KF-Bedlam, pick up Foster and a nice perk, and slay zeds on Hell on Earth as we've always meant to do.

    Final Thoughts:
    Killing Floor 2 is a game that shows the full potential of the Unreal Engine 3, unfortunately, it isn't as flowing and catchy as Killing Floor used to be.

    If you need ratings:

    Graphic: 8/10
    Sound: 5/10
    Longevity: 5/10
    Gameplay: 3/10

    Overall: 5/10

    Buy it if you are a Call of Duty fan seeking for something new and more challenging, skip it if you want a Killing Floor successor: this is nothing like Killing Floor 1.    … Expand

    Not a bad game, sure, but repeating the same everytime... Expect about 5 hours of fun and uninstall it later

    While it's a shame Tripwire didn't improve enemy variety or add a new co-operative mode, Killing Floor 2 has some of the most satisfying shooting around as the old formula holds up well thanks to high levels of polish, good perk variety, and solid maps.

    The game might not be very friendly towards newbies (it doesn’t teach you how to play and therefore forces you to resort to trial and error) but once you get hold of it and gather a reliable team you’ll spend many enjoyable evenings with it. [01/2017, p.42]

    Cooperative action Killing Floor 2 pleads for attention with richer content, explicitly displayed violence and perfectly optimized technology. It is nearly like the previous installment, but we could expect anything else. The attractiveness of the game increases the creativity of its community.
