Killing Floor 2

Despite all the microtransactions and mostly distasteful dlc and lack of updates, the core of the game is still fun and worth the money when it is on sale. Grab the one with all the weapon DLC because they are fun but of course, not all of them are good. In fact some are kinda shit.

I just wished they handled KF2 better and hope that KF3 will be better than its beta and gets better treatment than KF2 did at the end of its life.

You'll still find players and populated servers. However, I suggest searching for servers yourself and not rely on the game finding a match for you because they will default to high ping servers, at least for me from where I live. Hitting headshots are never the same after playing this game. Trust me.

I will say that if you are an achievement hunter, this game's achievements are kinda bland and same-y. At least compared to KF1 imo, but I haven't played much of KF1 as I struggle to find populated servers with low ping on that game. The custom content in this game can be awesome but can also feel like a fever dream sometimes so pick your poison I guess.

Chaotic, explosive, and often unfair! Suck it down! Learn to parry or die!

No private lobbies sucks but there's plenty of empty ones you can hijack for game night.

Quite fun but NOT IMMERSIVE cause of the environtment and cosmetic shit Micro transaction If you only buy game to just having fun with who ever you wish KF2 is a Great place to start your journey
Intense Gameplay, Repetitive, Team Play, Easy Understand Mechanic, BUT NOT IMMERSIVE

Just run and gun. A game cannot be more fun and simple as this concept. It's a must buy.

great content and excellent action with good graphics that don't over tax your PC too much.

Good learning curve that has a normal, hard and even harder-core modes for the truly crazy FPS gamer. I always have good times with randos in matches, the community is very good in this game, players are helpful and not sweaty since its a PvE monster wave shooter

Pretty gross that the first main menu feature the game highlights upon first launch is not the tutorial, but the in-game microtransactions shop.

Upon starting a round, the next thing you notice is that crosshairs are disabled by default for some reason and needs to be enabled in the options. Gameplay-wise it's like a worse L4D where instead of naturally encountering large amounts of zombies on your way to get from point A to point B, zombies unnaturally comes to your position in predetermined waves, with time to restock on a weird shop in between (probably some kind of asset-flip, judging from how out of place it is). The perk system is just poorly defined classes that exists to give players something to grind rather than diversify gameplay, it's not like you're locked to any class's weapon set, have unique tools, or restricted to gain exp for any particular class. You might have different starting grenades, but the difference between HE grenade, Frag grenade, nail bomb, or the dynamite stick isn't explained, nor how the starting knives are any different to each other (other than cosmetically). Enemy variety isn't that interesting, most are cannon fodder, except for the last-round boss which has it's health and speed arbitrarily increased to ludicrous levels. There are no map or minimap feature, which is rather annoying, as you get hit in the back by enemies you can't see coming. Simply having outlines to identify nearby doors you can weld would be nice, instead of randomly wandering about looking for doors. If you accidentally back into a corner, you can get trapped between the boss and walls, doomed to slowly get shredded because there is no ability to push back or move past enemies. Jumping and mobility in general sucks and you can't even get over waist-high railing. Right-clicking to scope/iron-sight feels really bad in this game, the scope/iron-sight occludes too much of your FOV, and is generally unecessary as most of the shooting is in very close quarters.

Story might as well be non-existent, with no campaign mode to speak of, and characters are just vehicles to attach cosmetics to, as you grind cosmetic crap and loot boxes to make the ugliest and most out-of-place looking avatars as you can to break any semblance of the non-existent immersion.

A MUST BUY GAME!

One of my top 5 favorite games of all time and i have been gaming for over 20 years. Yes the game is that good. Best in the genre in my opinion, this game is a must buy.

Great co-op zombie shooter, Lots of stages and classes. Shit tons of cosmetics. Classes are fun and unique, weapons are fun and varied.

seriously crazy how hard this game hits after all these years. still cant stop playing and im somehow still finding games even when i play on console

If you've played any cod in the past 20 years, Try this game out
It has character customization, Custom maps, Class system, like 40 base game maps,
likable characters, Is a zombie horde shooter

Play this game, it rewards you for playing it as well <3

this game is a good coop survival, where you play on one map surviving waves of zombies, buying good weapons and upgrading them. also gain xp for skill level ups.

i like how it is done, i like this game so i can keep shooting waves as long as i can!

This game does not respect your time.

Starting out it seems like a flood of things and mechanics.
Never having played the first Killing floor i didn't know what to expect with the Perks and diffierent guns.

While the game was still being updated and dlc were being added new guns were always super op. They would usually nerf them to shit so you would basically loose out on your 5$ because the guns you bought were useless two weeks after introduction.

In online play there is a way to play - if you divert from that way you are not gonna have a good time
In Suicidal and HoE there is basically no leeway to try out guns. It is all about DPS and a managable Ammo count. Having bought some Dlc guns i rarely ever use them because....wouldn't you guess... they nerfed the shit out of them a couple weeks after them being introduced.

Game mechanics seem deeper than they are. It's actually just puddle deep. Get body blocked in a corner of a Door - Dead. Get stuck on a small piece of invisible geometry - Dead. Shoot guns that are not your class - Die from being mauled on by fucking clots. Get grabbed and have your melee go nowhere near that assholes face - DEAD. The amount of times i've had to restart a map after dying on the last wave is insane.

They screwed around with the medic cause people played it so much. They screwed around with the Gunslinger cause it is too good. But dare god they touch the fucking Berserker, cause being able to run away from everything and passive healing is not overpowerd... totally.

Oh and on a performance standpoint:
My Pc is struggling to run this dogshit game in a wave past 20!!! It doesn't even look that good
Lighting effects look like it's from a game one and a half decades ago
I have a Ryzen 9 7900x3D and a RX 7900 XTX so shush it runs better looking games fine in 4k

I'm so glad im done with this game

I spent two days trying to get it to run, worst 5 dollars I ever spent on this platform. The game has been out since 2016, devs get your shit together. If there was a worse rating than no I wouldn't hesitate to choose it.

it is very fun, amazing perks, play style and overall gameplay 👍👍👍👍

you know how when you pick up a new hobby there is this sort of "honey-moon" period where you are into it and looking forward to do it again and again. For the first few hours this game is exactly that. If you play for more than those hours, you become painfully aware that there is no progression, there are maybe 2 or 3 guns that are viable in the endgame and all the maps are functionally the same. The early hours are not enough to carry more than 20 MORE hours of gameplay, even with friends.

The developers baited and switched us, the game used to be playable offline without requiring a connection but now if you try to load into a solo map without being connected to the internet you will hit "Ready Up" and nothing will happen with no way to get into the level to play.

Effectively this game has become online-only meaning whenever they eventually drop support for the game servers it will effectively be unplayble in its current state. I cannot support a game like that hence the bad review.

If someone has a fix or workaround that doesn't require you to basically install a legacy version of the game via SteamDB to play offline, please let me know otherwise this game and its devs can shove it.

i have just started playing this game and i absolutely recommend giving it a go. kf2 is the only game where i feel comfortable playing with randoms. there is a variety of map and level of difficulty to choose from. the sound effects/music really add on to the gaming experience. its also fun to hear the character talk when playing.

cult classic coop horde shooting game. an outstanding installment.
dont lose your identity.

Honestly, no. If you've been on steam for more than 5 years, you've probably heard about this game. If you're new to PC gaming just play left for dead 2, or any other zombie game you've played on console will be a better experience than this.

This feels like they wanted to do not see zombies mixed with doom but ended up with payday 2 mixed with fortnite somehow. Which is weird because all you had to do was make the maps have 0 dead ends to camp in and keep the tone serious.

Seems fun, challenging and maybe a bit scary singleplayer. However this is a multiplayer game so if you want to experience that, 6 player tf2 MVM or some goofy ahh game is what you're looking for.

p.s. lets say you bought the base game..... its fourty five (45) american USD for just the cosmetic costumes that go on your character........ Theres more cosmetics to buy... If you're a whale then by all means this is the game for you...

BTW I'm pretty sure I got these cosmetics for buying the game at a discount... idk how to explain it but theyre price gouging long time players for items I got basically paid to look at (and never use because it looks stupid as hell)_

All i can say good about this game is the violent murder, everything else about Killing floor 2 is a scam becuase as soon as you invest in its remarkable micro transaction crates the game will inevitably splatterbug you indefintely. it sucks it makes me sick and its quite honestly should be motherfucking recalled.

I have 800 hours into this game on xbox. Its absolutely fantastic with a wonderful playlist of songs, maps, weapons, and characters. Hundreds of cosmetics. It doesnt get any better then this.

great game, very rare bugs

Coming from somebody not into this genre in general.
I absolutely love this game.

A friend of mine kept asking me for so long to get this game so we can play together. One day I saw 95% discount and I bought KF1 and KF2 along all the DLCs for something like £4-£5.

Ever since I've started playing it, this has become my number one game to be excited to play after a long day at work. It really is that good.

The community seems to be really chill too. Being a newbie in a game that old can be scary, especially in a multiplayer where the team depends on you too. However, I am pleased to say that all my encounters were with nothing but friendly people. Everyone is willing to help and not getting mad if you make a mistake or die.

Comparing the community to something like CS2 is just.... I mean, can you even compare them?

Highly, highly recommended.

Oh, and one more thing - I was super excited to see what the KF3 would look like, but once I saw a few reviews on the close beta, I think I'm gonna stick to KF2.

Killing Floor 2 is a thrilling and intense co-op first-person shooter that delivers a standout experience for fans of action-packed gameplay. Set in a world overrun by horrific creatures known as Zeds, the game throws players into a frantic fight for survival. The fast-paced action and diverse range of weapons provide a satisfying mix of strategy and sheer chaos. Each wave of Zeds feels increasingly intense, and the variety of enemies keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting. Whether you're playing solo or with friends, Killing Floor 2's co-op mode creates a strong sense of teamwork as you coordinate with others to eliminate the ever-growing horde.

The game's progression system is another highlight, offering players a sense of achievement as they level up different classes and unlock new weapons. The range of playable characters and perks adds depth, allowing players to experiment with different playstyles. The game’s map variety is well-designed, from tight, claustrophobic corridors to open arenas that test your ability to strategize and stay on the move. The developers have consistently added new content through updates, ensuring the game continues to evolve and provide new challenges for veterans while keeping the community engaged.

Visually, Killing Floor 2 excels with its dark, grim atmosphere and attention to detail in the design of both characters and environments. The Zeds are grotesque and well-rendered, adding a layer of horror to the otherwise adrenaline-fueled action. The sound design is immersive, with chilling sound effects that enhance the tension as you fight your way through each wave. With its engaging gameplay, frequent updates, and solid community, Killing Floor 2 offers a perfect balance of horror, action, and cooperative fun that makes it a must-play for fans of the genre.

i enjoyed playing in the beginning for a couple days but now i cant access or play the game now. SO yeah I've verifying the files and uninstall then reinstall and still doesn't work.

Pretty fun to play endless. Not to crazy just kill. You dont need complex strats to get there.

So, I've been playing this for over 5 hours now in preparation for Killing Floor 3 to come out and hopefully rock my world. Going back and playing this game I haven't touched in quite a few years, reminded me of why I've loved the franchise since the first one came out. It really is a great game, and what makes it an even better, is the community that builds up around it. Going into the workshop and seeing all the love that this game has really gives a firm glimpse into what to expect when playing it for yourself.

That being said, I'm really hoping for the same amount of love from the community to shine through when Killing Floor 3 comes out. All the extra maps people make, the weapons, ect. Just letting your community go hog wild would be a beautiful sight to see!

I'm Rae Serbeck, I Play and Review all games Large and Small!

Best wave shooter on the market hands down. KF3 is looking like it's shaping up to follow suit nicely.

Some people whine about the cosmetics and loot crate stuff but there is a simple solution!

Don't buy them! It changes gameplay in no way whatsoever!

the reason why KF2 is much better a pathetic piece of junk: KF3

1. server browser
2. the feeling of moving, ZED time, shooting, reloading animation
3. the design of ZED, skill trees, boss
4. the design of weapon
5. there is no battlepass
6. there is no farming -- AND YES, YOU NEED FARMING IN KF3
7. customization maps
8. you have much much much MORE WEAPON than KF3
9. there is stalker in kf2 - and yes, there is no stalker in KF3

And if you want to play killing floor, buy 2, buy 1, don't buy KF3. Its horrible.

I would have loved to recommend this game as someone with almost 200 hours in the game, bought a handful of items to support the devs, and leveled the classes up to at least 15, got 2 to 25.
The crummy monetization of guns and other cosmetics is really bogus (and seeing how it is gonna be for KF3 is disappointing)

~~However my main reason for my negative review is that MY CLASS PROGRESS WAS WIPED~~
~~For what reason??? who knows! All my effort and time dumped into the game comes out to a fat nothing~~ when i decide to try and give the game another go, before the absolute shit storm of KF3 drops
Edit: Upon restarting the game, my class progress reset. Leaving this negative though cause the devs are scummy though.

Tripwire is a shell of what they were and what they represented, they even dumped support for Rising Storm 2 cause it wasn't making them money

scummy devs with a scummy game

I have a ton of hours on Xbox and PS4 but not a lot on steam but this game is truly fun especially when you have friends to play it with. It’s worth the price as well

arcade garbage that turns into even more arcade garbage in the upcoming game, this time, i don't have bunch of random people to make this or any other upcoming kf game worth it, series turned into more soft shooter direction in this one, while it's fun with friends, there is so much of character missing from this game at this point, i looked at it back in 2016 and just recently it reminded me of upgraded black ops xx (just put the relevant number according to the year, 100 years expire trademark) tripewire, you have gotten all the worst shit into your game with all this garbage lootboxes and flashy modes, you might have gotten away with it while the market was young, but you will die with the upcoming shittile, i despise all of you investors that artifically keep alive this corpse, puppeteering it to deceive last bit of community to turn into new era, congrats young juniors of tripwire studio, you ought to make a game we will never play.

not worth it, if you are into the concept, just try kf1 servers/custom servers, might revive when devs finally stop banning mods to kf2, since these carriered their game the most, and now that they won't have such a boner on bating people into microtransactions in the second one, they might enable full mod support to the second one, where modders will revamp this game so other 5k people can actually play another 2k hours in this one,

I spit on every single one of you for chasing the fame, and yet failing so hard at it, there are games where the studio could actually not be greedy and play into the niche they excelled at

Killing Floor Two has a special place in my heart. The first game to arrive to console and now finally I'm able to play it on computer (A while now). I know soon Killing Floor Three will release in time and hope for it success but I know the community will keep the games alive from one to now. These games are a good time of taking out Zeds and surviving till the end. They do have more modes to play but usually people are more magnetically drawn toward playing as team than against and I remember endless being around. That mode would change up the Zeds with new things happening in rounds.

I really recommend this game to anyone who enjoys gore with their games, this one is the best of it's kind.

Great game best enjoyed with a group. Big improvement over the original in terms of game play and graphics.

Highly recommended for some fun zombie/mutant/bio-engineered monster horde action!

I liked being a melee perk that was tanky with good survivability and had decent damage. The devs did not and took away my tanky and replaced it with like 3 guns for some reason. For reference I've played the game off and on since release. I've been through the like 4 or more nerfs to Berserker and I remember when the Helios rifle was a Berserker weapon for like a month.

It is VERY safe to say that they have to do my favorite perk RIGHT however they're planning on adding it for me to even consider buying kf3. No well done melee, no customer. Simple as.

If you're here for an actual opinion on the game, it's fun but the devs don't do anything with it anymore since they're making kf3.

you can escort a present that has a minature nuclear bomb for santa and take on krampus

i fucking love this game

unstable as hell though

I played this game when it first was on playstation plus many years ago. picking it back up years later on the PC still brings back memories. still having fun and enjoying the updating content. I am looking forward to KF3.

Killing Floor 2 is like a zombie party where you’re the pinata. Tons of monsters, ridiculous weapons, and somehow, you still don’t survive.

Thought maybe I could download this game and play it for a bit, why does KF2 require 100 GB of storage? Insane amount of DLC that is basically required, game takes forever to load all of the 100 GB of BS. Can't believe I considered redownloading this repetitive trash.

The music is good.

I love the game but for some reason it crashes everytime I launch it. And before anyone says anything I have a high HIGH end PC. Oh well, I guess I'll just wait till to KF3

This is actually worse than KF1, don't ask me why but it just feels like it is. It's still an awesome game to play and I wish more people played both KF games, invite me if you see this.

Game is good, probably not worth $30 at it's age. Good grind game where you kill things and do stuff.

DOSH HERE. Money money moneyyyy.

Game is a graphical upgrade from KF1, content is largely the same. KF3 has been announced for quite some time.

It's a worthy successor to Killing Floor 1 and pretty fun. I bought it for $6 on G2A and it was worth it. Two complaints:

1. It's somehow both a game from 2016 and **also 90gb**. That's crazy. Most of it is cosmetic bloat, I think.

2. It's a little bit too easy compared to Killing Floor 1. The highest difficulty in the first game was a serious challenge. In KF2 it's pretty easy for me to win any map on the highest difficulty, and I'm relatively lousy at FPS games.

Still my fav zombie shooter after like 8 yrs by far. Diverse weapon selection, perk selection/upgrades. A bunch of different types of zeds that makes the game challenging in a really fun way. Difficulty selections are awesome, casual to insanely challenging. Weekly game modes are a nice touch. Smooth gameplay, servers are pretty solid. Can't wait for KF3!! I'm cheap tho, so not till it's on sale.

Um Jogo bem divertido lembra bastante Left 4 Dead só que bem mais frenético e trilha sonora paulera!!!!, estou curioso pelo 3.

It's mid, however the size is criminal at 94 gigs and its an unreal engine game .

Gets old quickly as there is no AI director. Grinding class levels is slow, and after a single game you will say to yourself "yep, im done, im not doing this again"

However i will praise what this game does right. Berserker is fun and it's a huge upgrade from KF1 melee system, and most classes are strong, including Firebug. There's a huge variety of weapons, 4 bosses, and a LOT of maps. The game has Steam workshop for modding

Difficulty done right, where mobs will get smarter and start using moves you've never seen before, will cover their heads when they are getting shot, and there will be new variant of trash mobs to spice up the gameplay besides the flat health/damage increase. Oh and blood, LOTS of blood,gore and gibs, so it's quite satisfying to kill zeds because of it.

and thats pretty much it, the gameplay loop is pretty much:

• Choose a map,and the difficulty
  
• Survive by killing all the zeds
  
• go to the shop, buy stuff
  
• repeat until Boss wave
  
• buy everything
  
[*] Hope to lain that your party has enough fire power to delete the boss before he deletes you

really fun gameplay loop, I recommend playing with friends, I appreciate the game just letting you have fun with ridiculous guns plus a great map variety.

Great team zombie shooter. Lots of opportunities for creating team strategies and plenty of classes to find a play style/role that suits you. Heaps of maps and great modded content

Easily one of the best Co-Op + Custom modding support online shooter, The team behind game is brilliant growing up playing doom and games like l4d from early 2000's i'd gotta say the developers nailed this since day one. The KF 1 was nothing but short of brilliance. Kf2 brings almost same elements to the game but for more modern platforms and audience. the hilarity and gore is still there. Hope they don't mess up Kf3 , Although the lot of Kf1 gore and gritty atmosphere was missing from Kf2. but kf3 is looking alike to be good sequel. its not for everyone but kf has got something for everyone. Must Try!
