    Having played both Killing Floor games, I must admit that I spent more time with the first installment. There's something about the original that draws me in and makes it my preference. However, that doesn't mean Killing Floor 2 is bad. It still manages to provide plenty of fun and excitement.

    I can't deny that Killing Floor 2 has its own charm, and I genuinely find it to be an enjoyable experience. The co-op survival gameplay is top-notch, and the game successfully carries the legacy of the Killing Floor name.

    That being said, there's a part of me that feels it might have lost a bit of its essence compared to the first game. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what changed, whether it's in the gameplay mechanics or the overall aesthetics. Nevertheless, Killing Floor 2 remains a successful and engaging co-op game that lives up to the reputation of its predecessor.

    Despite my preference for the first game, I recognize that Killing Floor 2 has its own merits, and it's clear that it has resonated with many players. The game retains the core elements that make the Killing Floor series special, and it continues to offer intense and satisfying survival gameplay.

    In the end, whether you prefer the first game or Killing Floor 2, both titles are fantastic co-op experiences that deliver on the thrill of battling hordes of monstrous Zeds. If you enjoy cooperative survival games, Killing Floor 2 is undoubtedly a worthy addition to your gaming library.    … Expand

    Имейте ввиду, что наверное единственной целью в игре будет "выбиванием ачивок". Но учитывая, что мы играем за выживших солдат, то ачивки обретают контекстуальный характер, что то вроде орденов за свои боевые заслуги.
    Так же игра с каждым крупным обновлением, таких я понял происходит, по четыре раза в год. То завозят новые карты, пушки и прочее.
    Из минусов - возможность покупать за реальные деньги: внешний вид оружия, одежды, эмоции и НЕКОТОРОЕ ОРУЖИЕ. (Но пушки покупать не обязательно, не парьтесь. Учитывая, что я ни рубля, ни цента не задонатил я опробовал все орудия. Просто если донатная пушка есть у кого то в матче, то все могут ей пользоваться).
    Ну и некоторые не критические технические проблемы (долгая загрузка и некоторые вылеты). Со временем вылетав становилось гораздо меньше.

    Masterpiece in every way.

    Killing Floor 2 is one of the best FPS games I have ever played. It is so simple yet so satisfying. You shoot monsters in a series of waves, fight a boss, choose a different map, rinse, and repeat. Still, it has a certain feel and atmosphere that keeps it fun to play. Killing Floor 2 did go all out from the first game. There is a sh!t ton of content and    Masterpiece in every way.

    Killing Floor 2 did go all out from the first game. There is a sh!t ton of content and improvements which keeps you playing. You got many different new classes, higher perk caps, many, many cosmetic items, new characters, new weapons while also staying true to the old school weapons from Killing Floor 1. The new perk bonuses are well balanced and thought out. After level 25, you feel that you can take on Hell on Earth difficulty, while in Killing Floor 1, this would be an impossible undertaking regardless of level and perks. The weapon buy menu’s have been upgraded, the “Auto fill” button is a gift from God and the overall design of the perk menus are better. You can now skip the trader when you are already done buying stuff which is also a huge improvement.

    But by far, the best improvement is the server matchmaking and hosting. When you wanted to play a quick game on Killing Floor 1, you needed to port forward your IP in the router or modem and do a ton of sh!t to make it work. In Killing Floor 2, just create a party, invite, choose map and let’s kill some Zeds.

    Killing Floor 2 also introduced loot boxes which I hate to the core in general. But here, they are easy to ignore and do not give you the feeling that you are a poor little sh!t who needs to grind his way trough ten thousand hours of game play to be as cool as the rich kids.

    The graphics in Killing Floor 2 are still beautiful. The game is almost six years old now, but it still amazes me, and it is wonderful to look at. The levels all have a dark atmosphere and each one has a unique touch to it. The gore effects are nice, the limbs stay mostly on the ground and after a few waves of Zed’s, the ground is covered in red. It enhances the experience.

    The soundtracks of this game are also amazing. I am a heavy metal fan so it could not go wrong from the beginning, but the music is just perfectly fitting. I think this is one of the reasons the game is still so much fun, the music hypes you up to start the next round and gives you the feeling you go to war again. The sound itself is also perfect, you hear the impact of the bullets, the popping of the heads and the destruction explosions cause, again enhancing the experience.

    The controls have been greatly improved from Killing Floor 1 and feel one hundred percent fluent. The ability to run and perform melee attacks without selecting the knife are a huge improvement. Although Killing Floor 1 is the founder of the series of course, the controls there felt a little stiff. Still, if you did not know any better this would not be an issue.

    Although the game is six years old, it still gets updated very much with new content. It shows the pride and dedication from Tripwire for this game.

    What makes Killing Floor unique is the player base. It is still strong on PC and people really work together in a matter that amazes me if I compare it to other online shooters. It is crucial that people work together or else the game is over very quick.

    There are some minor issues in my opinion like the load times to start the game or connect to a server, but this has been improved over the years. Although the constant updates of the game are nice, the fact that the game is now almost ninety gigabytes is a bit ridiculous.

    In general, Killing Floor 2 is a huge, easy to learn game with tons of content, a brutal soundtrack, satisfying combat, fluent controls and a good player base that works together great in the game.

    Definitely recommend this game!    … Expand

    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.

    The objective mode is uninspired and boring sadly, because objectives and quest could have made the game more rich in variety. I mean the standard mode is fun, but there are no other objectives than killing everything.

    So it's a game to play every now and then with longer breaks inbetween.    … Expand

    The game is easy and intuitive enough to overlook the flaws in the game design. If the game was harder on the minimum difficulty the game would be a 6/10. I do not like the gunplay. I enjoy the auto-buy feature.

    Я играю в KF еще с первой части, когда она была модом на RedOrchestra.
    Со всей уверенностью старого геймера заявляю: это один из лучших сетевых хорор-шутеров десятилетия. Отличная физика, мощная музыка, сочные звуки. Адреналин, скорость, рэйдж, взаимовыручка, героизм, самопожертвование, дикий и безумный драйв.

    Русскоязычному сегменту игроков я бы посоветовал послушать песню легендарного Юрия Клинских "Ночь страха", она в полной мере передает ощущения от игры.

    Постоянно обновляются оружие, уровни, физика, освещение и текстуры. Механика игры позволяет исполнять самые безумные замыслы.
    Уровень сложности влияет не только на количество хитпойнтов, но меняет динамику игры и поведение монстров.
    Замедление времени реализовано так, что в некоторые моменты я кричу АААААААА!!!! и прыгаю на кресле, разнося окруживших меня ублюдков!
    Прокачка перков позволяет настраивать качества бойцов и влияет на динамику игры.

    Самое ценное в этой игре: чувство команды. Если ты возомнил себя героем и оторвался от своей команды - тебе не выжить. Холодный пот стекает по лбу, сердце бьется с частотой 200 ударов в минуту, когда ты пробиваешься к своей команде через сужающееся кольцо мерзких тварей.

    Битва с Боссами это нечто. Начиная уровень Босса, даже самый крутой игрок знает, что может пасть первым, во имя общей победы. В некоторых случаях игроки жертвуют собой, чтобы спасти остальных.

    Я мог бы писать об этой игре целую ночь. Я люблю эту игру всем своим сердцем, как верный друг, как верного друга. В этой игре мы отдаем свои жизни за тех, кого даже не знаем, а потом переписываемся в чате с вновьобретенными друзьями.

    В игре нет фобий, нет расизма. Все равны и все ловят свой невероятный драйв.

    The game looks and plays well. The repeatability is a little bit of a miss. You see every possible enemy within a game and cover most bosses in just an hour or so of playtime. However, the mechanics and gun dynamics are fantastic and keep you coming back for more.

    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]
