Killing Floor 3 Reviews
Killing Floor 3 will need to develop a little longer to be worthwhile. It's a game that's easy to pick up, but we don't recommend playing it just yet. Maybe in about a year or so.

Bloody Good With Room to Grow. Killing Floor 3 is not a finished masterpiece, but it is a promising evolution. It understands the heart of the series: frantic co-op action, over-the-top gore, and tactical survival. Yes, it needs more content. Yes, it needs more polish. But it’s clear that Tripwire is laying the groundwork for something that can eventually surpass its predecessors. If you’re a fan of the franchise or just love mowing down mutant horrors with friends, Killing Floor 3 is already a blast. Just know you’re buying into a game still finding its full form. But with time, this could become the definitive Killing Floor experience.
Killing Floor 3 provides a great FPS experience for people looking for a horde shooter to play with friends. It has deep, fulfilling customization for the genre, great feeling gunplay, surprisingly good melee combat, and fun perks to choose from. You might be quick to exhaust the content with only 8 maps to choose from if you don’t want to dive deep into multiple perks. I think Killing Floor 3 is one to watch if you aren’t sold yet. I think the fine folk at Tripwire are cooking something up that is only going to get better from here, despite feeling a little bare on release.
Killing Floor 3 is an absolute must play game of 2025, either solo or multiplayer, but it all depends on how you prefer your content. If you don’t mind the dripping release, then buy it. But if you prefer to have a more complete experience with all originally intended content, I suggest waiting a year or so after Tripwire Interactive has added everything.
If you're a big fan of the series or just looking for some mindless shooting fun with a group of friends, you'll definitely enjoy this. But don't expect a huge improvement over the previous installment. Killing Floor 3 is more of the same, albeit with some technical issues. Despite the game being €40—thankfully, they're not charging full price—the package is still a bit underwhelming for the price. It's not a bad game, but it definitely could have been better.

Killing Floor 3 isn't perfect. The optimization needs some work. For a full-priced game, there aren't enough weapons. And yes, even if it's just for looks (for now), having a cash shop in a paid game still leaves a bad taste. Even with these problems, Killing Floor 3 is one of the few modern games that is fun.
Killing Floor 3 seemed like a fun game to play, but it doesn't offer everything it could to be a truly rewarding experience.

Killing Floor 3 delivers satisfying co-op carnage and smart upgrades, but leans on familiar ground while setting the stage for stronger updates ahead. Those seeking innovation or narrative complexity will find more engaging options elsewhere. But for players who enjoy wave-based co-op shooters… it delivers precisely what it promises.
Killing Floor 3 has a decent and enjoyable loop that you and your friends will quickly slip into and appreciate for a few hours at a time, mindlessly blasting zeds while also trying to find the right build and class to suit your playstyle. Aesthetically, the high tempo you expect from the series is ever present and the promise for the future seems bright for the game, but for right now, there’s definitely limitations and in such a competitive market for the genre, that makes it a trickier sell. You hope Tripwire will get the chance to fulfil some of their lofty ambitions, the question is how long will it be before those come to fruition. A feat by which these live service titles live….and unfortunately, might die.
Killing Floor 3 is a smooth and immediate cooperative shooter, but too basic to be fully convincing. As it stands, the production lacks content, variety and depth. Survival mode is fun and well polished, but it's also the only thing the game has to offer, and after a few hours you start to feel the repetitiveness. The overall feeling is that of a project still in progress.

Killing Floor 3 offers a technically solid and graphically appealing basis for an intense co-op shooter experience. The survival mode for up to six players ensures exciting battles against monstrous zeds and the new weapon system brings tactical depth to the game. However, the current lack of content, especially the small number of bosses and game modes, significantly limits long-term motivation.

Faster, bloodier, and more intense than ever - Killing Floor is back, hitting every mark when it comes to brutal dismemberment, all while being insanely fun and nerve-racking.
Killing Floor 3 is NOTHING like the older games—and while that’s not all bad, it loses much of the chaotic charm in trying to be something new. It takes itself too seriously, trading identity for polish, but without the baggage of its predecessors, there’s still fun to be had.
At its core, "Killing Floor 3" is a more than solid game. The gameplay feels good, albeit underwhelming, and it offers varied levels, a good number of different enemies, and a sufficiently large selection of weapons to keep you interested.

Killing Floor 3 is a case study in contradictions, positively iterating on the best aspects from the series' past while introducing confusing features that would make more sense in another game.
Killing Floor 3 isn't perfect and has had a rocky start, but it demonstrates Tripwire's commitment to its legacy and its community. With the improvements already implemented and those yet to come, it has the potential to cement itself as a benchmark in the co-op survival shooter genre. We hope it succeeds.

Killing Floor 3 is the latest installment in the franchise from Tripwire Interactive, released on July 24, 2025. The game retains its signature frantic combat against hordes of Zeds in cooperative matches for up to six players, now featuring a fixed class system, more dynamic maps, and strategic traps. It delivers enhanced graphics, industrial sci-fi environments, and gameplay mechanics that emphasize teamwork—without abandoning the classic elements that made the series a fan favorite.

Killing Floor 3 demonstrates that the classic formula still has much to offer. It's a game that perfectly understands what makes the series special: frenetic action, necessary cooperation, and visceral violence. The current problems are fixable through patches, and the studio's commitment to long-term support is promising.

Compared to Killing Floor 2, Killing Floor 3 is a step up. The amount of customization at your disposal will make you want to see what every gun is truly capable of. The new skills characters have are so fun and make the player feel powerful, no matter the class you choose. Blasting Zeds while listening to metal has never been better.
While Killing Floor 3 still lacks depth compared to its predecessor, it is still one of the best zombie games of the decade. Killing Floor’s winning formula remains well-embedded in its third title, and it is the most ambitious zombie horde shooter of the decade.
