Think Zombie mode in CoD with much bigger waves, and a lot more variety. You have a perk system fr each class but even if you choose the gunslinger class, you can still get weapons from other classes in the trader, youre not locked in. You have so many options, and the heavy metal soundtrack when playing is glorious, well worth the buy… Expand

    Killing Floor 2 is a great example of the Unreal engine done right. Few bugs, glitches, and crashes allow for a fun, relaxing game play experience.

Frames per second remain fairly steady only seeming to drop during intense action, or when there are many enemies on the screen. The game does operate a bit better on the PS4 Pro with slight improvements to graphics, color pallets, and textures. Not too many bugs, and glitches were noticed. At least, not any that were truly game breaking, or at all frustrating.

    The list:
    1. Weapon locking - Inability to swap weapons
    2.Enemies becoming stuck occasionally
    3. Perk level is reset temporarily
    4. Minor clipping issues
    5. Environmental rubber banding on certain maps

    This list is matched with the current state of the game at the time of this writing, and shall be updated/ edited for future patches.
    Overall, KF2 is a properly optimized FPS that uses Unreal to near full potential.    … Expand

    My most played game on PS4, so I'm not going to rate it low :)
    But seriously, this is a fantastic game and the developers really make an effort of doing regular events and adding stuff to the game. Since I started playing (around July 17), two bosses have been added, 8 new maps, a few new weapons and modes.
    And the gameplay itself is very satisfying and can be tweaked to your liking and    My most played game on PS4, so I'm not going to rate it low :)

    I would not have played this game if it was not free on PS plus. I am always bad at FPS with controller and tend to get nauseous. However, Killing floor 2 surprised me with huge excitement + fast pace thrill shooting. It also runs very well on PS4 with 60 FPS. I didn't get nauseous at all. I enjoyed this game quite a lot although It took me sometime to understand game mechanic. PlayingI would not have played this game if it was not free on PS plus.

I didn't get nauseous at all. I enjoyed this game quite a lot although It took me sometime to understand game mechanic. Playing with friends could not be more fun. Please take note that I play on Asia server and have no problem with matchmaking.

    However, the serious problem of this game is the repetitiveness, which happens very fast. The game need more enemy types and weapons. Moreover, the difficulty is too brutal even on lowest setting (normal). For someone who is not familiar with FPS, beating this game is nearly impossible without a lot of practices.

    I generously give the game 8/10, although it might be around 7-7.5/10 but since the devs are still trying to improve the game. That is good thing. Killing floor 2 has a huge potential to become much greater game. It needs more content, more bosses and more weapons (x2 of every classes) .There should be new enemies and new bosses when you increase difficulty. Lastly, please have easy mode for those who are terrible with FPS, in order to encourage them to improve their skill. Right now this game is not friendly to casual gamers . That is all I want to say.    … Expand

I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun co-op zombie horde slaying game. This game pretty much blows any other wave based zombie FPS out of the water and is quite a satisfying game.

    This said the only bad thing i can say about KF2 is that the 2 bosses that appear on the final wave of each match do get quite boring after fighting them a few dozen times, but new bosses may be added in future updates. This game gets a prestigious 10/10 from me.    … Expand

    UPDATED: The more I play Killing Floor 2 the more I like it. I still prefer the style and atmosphere of L4D. But the tons of different classes make the game feel fresh and less repetitive. Plus it's a lot more fun with tons of friends.

    The game may be very straightforward, but that could be to its advantage as Killing Floor 2 is a very enjoyable co-op shooter that utilises what is strong about the genre without trying to overcomplicate things with unnecessary features.

    Very fun game, great looking graphics paired with 60 fps. The characters are witty and all the classes are fun to play with.. It's really exciting to run around on those imaginative maps and those cool weapons :) the only bad thing about it, that the Europe server doesn't seem to be working for weeks now, and tripwire is not in a hurry to fix it.

    an excellent PC to Console conversion. Tripwire's Killing Floor 2 is a fun co-op based survival horror FPS. I recommend it to the fans of fast-paced First Person-Shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield. a 9/10 is perfect for this game.

    Easy to pick up and put down. This visceral, wave-based shoot-em-up may not have much vanilla content, but the developers seem dedicated and the mod community even more so. Either way it puts CoD zombies to shame and is way cheaper to boot. This is one of my favorite games for blowing off steam or jamming out when I'm bored and don't know what to play.

For a 30 dollar game, with no story, free updates and very well made motion capture of the guns. Besides zombies the games large focus its the guns. The unreal engine used here is awesome and addicting. Its what makes players wanting to play. Feels just very nice and satisfying. The game mixes elements between Fear and Left 4 dead. it gets fear right from the slow motion mechanic and even some maps. It feels like a improved left 4 dead to the point i dont think i can go back to play that game because switching back to outdated mechanics itll just make me want to play this instead. In l4d you dont feel the power of the weapons. In kf2 not only can you see but the kickback on the guns feels like you are doing a lot of real damage on zeds. As of now there are 21 maps and 15 characters. More updates and events are added to make the game a little long lasting. You do burnout if you play for too long. The music is amazing and always gets me and my girlfriend excited to play. There are a variety of zombies in different ways of handling them. You cant simply expect one type of gun to do damage. The game puts players to experiment what guns will they stick with and use. I became a survivalist because it is round balanced and had sticked to the mac 10, m4 shotgun and the m16 assult rifle/gernade launcher. So the gameplay is almost flawless for a zombie experience alone only. People are more bugged about the game not having some single player story. You basically make it your own. With so much happening in the game with 100 zombies and a lot of blood that doesnt disappear throughout the entire game and developers adding a cool gore system the fps stays at 60 regardless. If you shoot a zombie in the head a piece of it comes off weakining it but still walks until more pieces of it come off and it dies. Its fun shooting stalkers in the face and watching that groovy motion capture of a headless stalker trying to get at you which looks pretty realstic in the way she moves around headless. Since the game was developed by such a small team (less than 10) we need to give it the credit it deserves. This cant compare to the zombies of cod its more fast pace/gorey/intense. The only downside is playing it too much. You may want to stop once in a while before the game just becomes the same and the same like any other game. But because it us addicting it is one of those games you may sit and play for hours. Solo is fun and co op is fun too. Endless is my favorite. Made ut to 26 waves on my own. Uts simply a fun brainless shooter. Something we all need in our library at least one game. Kf2 is one of the few rare picks. If you liked cod for its zombies you should abandon that and get on something that is more challenging like this.

    Pros: Cool unreal engine, blood splatter that doesnt disappear, motion capture of guns and some enemies, free updates, frame never drops even when a lot is happening, very reminiscent to Fear and Left 4 dead, 30 dollar release, tons of weapons

    Cons: Playing a little too much will cause you to grow out of it in a matter of weeks.    … Expand
