    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.
