    If you like tough cooperative experiences, it really is a joy. The game naturally encourages everyone to stick together in large or small groups, watching each other's backs and using class abilities to help the team. The 15 levels are all excellent and memorable (despite the lack of environmental interactivity), providing the sense of variety that the bosses do not. With tons of classes to level and weapons to wield, Killing Floor 2 has some serious staying power. Tripwire has announced Xbox One X enhancements, too, which will keep the game going even longer.

    When I first started up Killing Floor 2 I had no idea what to expect. The game looked like a very grim, zombie-killing game. What it actually was - a ridiculously impressive and immersive strategy game… that was very grim. There are a few technicalities, but overall there is nothing out there that gives you such a feeling of fight-or-flight – while at the same time – giving you a giant adrenaline rush from decimating mass amounts of baddies. And I can tell you after some 25 hours… it doesn’t go away.

    Killing Floor 2 is a lot of mindless fun. I say mindless, but it really does take some strategy to be successful. That’s what makes it the most fun. The only thing I must warn people about is the fact that if you’re thinking of going into this game solo, it’s going to be an uphill battle that will quickly get old. This game is best experienced in co-op with some friends. Even if you don’t have friends to play with, the game’s matchmaking system is strong and works well and people are generally decent to play with. People looking for some co-op fun will find a great time here and I believe it is well worth the price.

    While there is a single player mode for you to play should you lose your internet connection, or want to learn the maps, you essentially need to be connected at all times. There’s also no campaign of any sorts to speak of, so as long as you know that Killing Floor 2 is a multiplayer only focused shooter, you’ll know what you’re getting yourself into. The forceful key purchases only reinforce the view that many have of microtransactions, as there should have been some way to earn keys, even incredibly slowly, simply my playing. That being said, even though there are some faults to be found, and only two bosses included, I’m still enjoying my time within. Killing Floor 2 feels much more cooperative focused than other Horde-like games, contains a healthy amount of maps, and a large class selection that you’ll surely find a good fit for your playstyle. Faults aside, this isn't a that bad of a game at all, and worth a close look.

    Blood, zombies and a lot of adrenaline waits us in Killing Floor 2, a game that fans of cooperative modes will love. The game delivers a frenetic proposal that will offer many and many hours of fun.

    Killing Floor 2 arrives on Xbox One with a port from PC that is quite correct but not solid if we talk about technical aspects. The gameplay remains intact keeping the fun above all the blood that will fall to us.

    Despite being released almost one year ago on PC and PS4, this online shooter with horror elements makes its debut on Xbox One with all of the previously released content and some limited-time exclusive skins for weapons and characters.

    For gamers looking for depth and meaning behind their entrail splattering, Killing Floor 2 is not a prime choice. However, for players looking to spend some time in a silly, gory zombie shooter that doesn’t let storytelling get in the way of bloodshed, Killing Floor 2 is a good a throwback that’s welcome on the Xbox One.

    A solid and bloody zombie hunt, that neither offers server browser or user content, but makes up for it with bonus material and integrated DLC.

I love the progression system. Seems to take a good amount of time to rank up. The kills are very satisfying, especially when slo-mo hits at the perfect time. Overall, I could see this game getting pretty repetitive after awhile. Fun right now though! Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Absolutely bomb for me, the combat is fast paced and sophisticated yet smooth and simple at the same time. The arsenal at your disposal is massive and honestly hard to choose just 2 weapons, the enemies are challenging but not so much so where it bums the game out and burns your motivation to play it so that's even better. I'd say bout the only thing that would truly make it truly better in my opinion would be a few more classic guns, old west and civil war styled weapons. Firearms like the LeMat Revolver with its alternate shotgun fire type, a 50. Caliber black powder rifle similar to a Musket, a Flint Lock pistol, Trapdoor one-shot Springfield Rifle, Rolling Block rifle, and other later guns like the M1 Garand, Mp40, PPSH 41, Nambu handgun, Tokarev T34, MG42, PTRS 41, Kar 98k, AK47, M4A1, the British EM2 the Serbu RN 50. Cal, Grease Gun and so on. Probably could use more starting guns or just more historic and unique guns, I hope this gets seen because this games amazing Full Review »

    Killing Floor 2 is a zombie horde shooter that should please Left 4 Dead fans. It may not include a campaign or numerous competitive modes,Killing Floor 2 is a zombie horde shooter that should please Left 4 Dead fans. It may not include a campaign or numerous competitive modes, but it does provide plenty of fast-paced fun. The main draw is a 6-player cooperative mode in which you must survive 4 to 10 waves of zombie hordes. Each match features an onslaught of various undead creatures and concludes with a boss fight. It can be a relentless battle to the end, so you're encouraged to stick with your teammates. But even if you die, you'll be resurrected if any remaining team members manage to finish the wave. Additionally, at the beginning of each new round, you'll have the option to purchase new weapons, armor or refill ammo.

    "Killing Floor 2" also features different characters to choose from as well as "soldier" classes such as Sharpshooter, Medic and Commando. Each soldier type have their own individual skills and weapon sets. As you gain XP points by killing zombies, you'll level up. Every fifth level earned gives players a choice of selecting one of two different "perks"; special abilities that relate to each class. For example, level 5 of "Commando" gives you the option to either carry more ammo or reload faster. Like most modern shooters, KF 2 also features cosmetic customization. As you complete Survival matches, you'll earn colorful weapon skins, silly costumes, funny emotes and wacky accessories. Unfortunately, micro transactions are a thing in "Killing Floor 2". As specific earned crates can only be opened by purchasing a key.

    In addition to the main Survival matches, there is Versus which is simply a PVP version of Survival. Also, Weekly is a mode that alters the rules and challenges of a Survival match. Finally, the makers of "Killing Floor 2" constantly update it with limited time events for those who like to earn special rewards. Overall, this is a fun bloody game that offers plenty of challenges. It can get repetitive due to the lack of different game types and bosses, but fans of zombie horde games will get a kick out of it. I would give it an 8.1 out of 10.
