Killing Floor 2

Quotation forthcoming.

Old school shooters can still deliver, even if it's all only fun in small doses. Nice upgrade system, but lacks game modes.

This gruesome shooter is a must-have for any zombie-slaying aficionado. Know that its solo mode pales in comparison to co-op, where utter havoc can be wreaked. [Jan 2016, p.117]

For anyone happy with being dumped into horde-style arenas and expected to slam zombie brains across the room with a sledgehammer with a team of like-minded savages, it’s definitely one of the better options on the market right now. Players who crave more than just shooting might find that it doesn’t quite manage to deliver a captivating experience past this core competence, though.

Killing Floor 2 is a fun co-op game and allows you to kill hundreds of Zed with others. Whilst it's fun to play with friends, it becomes boring rather quickly if you play alone. The game also lacks a campaign, which would have been a great addition.

If you like FPS games that work over a wave after wave after wave, of enemies, you should check Killing Floor 2 a soon as possible.

Tripwire Interactive brings the FPS back to its most primal level, creating a ludicrous arcade-style bloodbath in an era of deeper, more thoughtful narrative-driven shooters. That approach ultimately proves to be refreshing; while more variety would have pushed the game over the top into "truly great" territory, what Killing Floor 2 does offer is undeniably visceral entertainment. And while the wave-based action is plenty of fun on its own, the perks system kept me coming back to upgrade my character and face even deadlier threats.

Killng Floor 2 is a good co-op shooter with a lot of horrible monsters that can be slayed in a thousand of ways. It is hard and satisfying but, after a lot of matches, the formula can become boring. Recommended for organized team of friends that love massacre foes together.

A fun & intense coop shooter that lacks enough variety to keep us playing for a long time.

Killing Floor 2 does everything it sets out to do very well and is immensely satisfying, especially with friends. It’s not the deepest game in the world, but it doesn’t really need to be.

Its sluggish controls and disinterested voice-acting provide a sharp contrast with its ambitious level design, neat graphics and addictive gameplay.

Fans of co-op shooters (and zombies) will love it, but the lack of modes and options does limit the appeal.

This second installment of Killing Floor is a videogame with a strong and marked personality. It is as funny as gory and very entertaining for the fans of online shooters.

Killing Floor 2 sets a nice base for a game with great potential. However, TripWire Interactive has to develop that potential to its full extent in order to not let it become 'another shooter'. The game needs more modes and really simple things, e.g. a lore encyclopedia and, of course, it needs to take a step back and rethink about the random cosmetic items via real money.

If you’re looking for a new horde mode game to enjoy with friends (or randoms), you can’t go too far wrong with Killing Floor 2. I feel it misses out on some of the deeply ingrained teamwork of other co-op survival games, especially on lower difficulties, but if you want a challenge, it brings it in spades.

Loud and silly, but a little hollow. [Issue#182, p.76]
