Jul 24, 2025I strongly believe Killing Floor 3 has the potential to surpass the other games in the series, but decisions like characters being locked to perk classes and obtuse weapon modding might prevent the game from being widely embraced by the existing player base at launch. In 2025 -- a particularly fraught year for the games industry -- that's not a great feeling to have about a new game.

Jul 29, 2025Personally, I look at it and see a game that only barely iterates, even slipping backwards on gun design and tech fidelity, and that’s just not an appealing approach during what often seems like a golden age for more ambitious co-op shooters. Helldivers 2 deftly balances large-scale warfare with slapstick comedy. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a deceptively deep and immaculately presented horde brawler. And Deep Rock Galactic has good-natured teamplay down to a science, thanks in part to its own clever arsenal of sci-fi tools and weaponry. Killing Floor 3? That has a good headshot and a plus-2% foregrip.
