    A good, but not great game which makes some modest improvements to the first one on PC. The co-op horde mode is gore-filled fun and challenging (esp. on higher difficulties), but gets repetitive after a while, even with lots of character leveling up to do.

There is a good variety of expansive maps, although it lacks variety in zed type (there are maybe 5 types?) and especially bosses (there are only 2). Hopefully this will be addressed in some future expansion? I've yet to be able to drum up a VS game though - every time I try it just spins trying to find a match (and the worst part is at that point there is no way to back out of the match-finding screen short of restarting the game!). Is nobody on PS4 playing this mode?… Expand

    I feel like Killing Floor 2 would be a lot more fun with friends, but I don't have any friends who play it.

    To be honest, i bought this game to ease my wait for Left 4 Dead 3. Unfortunatly, in many key aspects, KF2 is the opposite to that game. While good (certainly fantastic to everyone who know exactly what to expect), it lack L4D tention, atmosphere, slow paced exploration moments, and most important, its tactical yet simple gameplay. All in all, in particular when it comes to pacing, i would compare it to CoD zombie modes, which i'm not a fan of.

    Like i said, Killing Floor 2 is still a good game. The controls are responsive, the visuals great, the framerate is surprisingly stable (at least on PS4 Pro) and the amount of enemies and gore on screen provide many epic moments. If it had more maps, modes and the the ability to play singleplayer with bots, i would give KF2 a higher score.

    It's good, but not great.    … Expand

    Maybe it gets better, but so far every wave I've played beyond the training levels has ended the same way - get backed into a corner by a horde of zeds, try everything possible to get out of said corner, then die. Clips are too small to shoot your way out, jumping doesn't work, grenades damage you just as much as the zeds, and you can melee bash maybe 1 or 2 zeds before you die.

Clips are too small to shoot your way out, jumping doesn't work, grenades damage you just as much as the zeds, and you can melee bash maybe 1 or 2 zeds before you die. If you get cornered you might as well give up because there is no escape.

    There's also no enemy radar, so you have no way of telling how many zeds are around you or where they're coming from.

    When you die (and you will. A LOT) nothing you purchased respawns with you. You basically start from scratch with the crappy gear they give you. I used all of the in-game currency I earned from completing the training levels to buy the most powerful (and expensive) weapon that was available. I got to use it for maybe 30 seconds before I got surrounded and backed into another inescapable corner and died.

    The graphics, controls, and maps are all great. Maybe the gameplay gets better too. I understand that there is a learning curve, but I am by no means a noob when it comes to 1st person shooters. After repeatedly getting backed into inescapable corners I have no interest in exploring this game any further.    … Expand

    Killing Floor 2 is a hard game to rate because it is a game that I had so much fun playing yet I always wished there was more meat to the game. Once I got the hang of the game design and gameplay, I fell in love with the game and sunk quite a bit of time into the game. There are quite a few maps with awesome graphics; the controls were well thought out and intuitive.

There are quite a few maps with awesome graphics; the controls were well thought out and intuitive. The core gameplay is some of the most fun I've had in an online wave based shooter. It's also one of the few games where you can play with 5 other players against the game. The downsides is the game can get repetitive and boring over time since there is not much variety in the modes. It's a shame because I feel like it could rise to be one of the best games out there if it had more variety of content.… Expand

    Killing Floor 2 is a fun game; however, its lack of content and repetitiveness keeps it from achieving greatness. For starters, this game has no single-player campaign, unless you count the 10-minute tutorial mission that gets you acquainted with the game's mechanics. This forces users to play only online.

Unfortunately, unless you have a party of at least 3 friends to play with you, Killing Floor is quite boring. Speaking of boring, this game is either insanely easy, or controller breakingly difficult. Until you get good at the game, it is just not fun. I would say pass on this one, but it was free for PS Plus, so if you need a game to play with friends, this should suffice.… Expand

    Mindless gore at its finest! Using a variety of awesome weapons, you and up to three other players take down hordes of various forms of undead.

    It's still the same Killing Floor. Yes, they improved the graphics, added new classes, but it's still the same game. With the same mechanics. Nothing new

    One of best FPS games with multiplayer on ps4, a great game to play with friends. The game offers a lot of maps, classes, arms, rock and roll and zombies !

    Killing Floor 2 plays great and does 2 things right, the shooting and the killing. It plays a little like Left 4 Dead meets Overwatch. There are several classes to choose from and a multitude of characters to play with. All with their own one liners and personalities. But once you've finished about ten matches, the charm runs out.

    This game was chaotic and sometimes even fun to play with a couple of friends but it did not deliver enough to make it a unique zombie experience. Some classes were really fun to play though and the game did offer a decent amount of customization and playstyle options.

    Es una gran opción si relamente no tienes nada para jugar y quieres despegar tu cabeza matando mobs acompañado de heavy metal pero más que eso no hay. Recomiendo jugar con amigos, así es mas divertido.

    Fun to play with friends. I would not recommend you to pick 'Sharpshooter' as your main class however. Especially on the ps4 version. Compared to other classes it feels weak and lacklustre so beware.

    A cathartic if slightly clumsy, co-op experience that lets you paint the town fleshy red. [Jan 2017, p.78]

    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]
