Killing Floor 2 Reviews
If you're not a fan of shooters, or demand more from your games than some brightly-colored carnage, don't waste your time for Killing Floor 2. But if you, like me, have been waiting for the next big thing in horde modes, or you found it difficult to enjoy the first game, then this will truly be nothing short of a revelation.
An outstanding co-op shooter, pouring blood and guts by the gallons. Killing zombies has rarely been this satisfying, and is a must for co-op groups.
What Killing Floor 2 offers is strong, co-operative team based fun that is as good as we’ve seen it on Playstation 4.
It's akin to a popcorn movie; sure there might not be much depth, but what's there is pure fun.
Killing Floor 2 is an addictive first person shooter with horde based gameplay mixed with upgrades and team-focused online multiplayer.
Some may be put off by the lack of any single player content, and exclusively co-op multiplayer experiences do have their detractors. However, Killing Floor 2 does what it does so well, that it is hard not to recommend it, especially as it is not the most expensive title on the market. It looks and sounds great, and it has a raft of community enhancements and developer updates/content. There are a few little niggleshere and there, but for shooter and zombie fans, it is surely one to pick up.
Amidst some serious competition in the FPS genre, Killing Floor emerges on par with them and as one that promises to keep you entertained in the long run.
This holiday season, if you want to forget about the world, join up with a few friends and fight monsters in an absolute bloodbath then look no further.
A few hitches keep Killing Floor 2 from absolute greatness: the boss count currently sits at a measly choice between two foes, the cosmetic unlocks are built around microtransactions (players will obtain loot boxes that can only be opened with store-bought keys, and the contents are entirely random, of course), and the online matchmaking can occasionally bug out when navigating menus.
Killing Floor 2 does a good job of being an enjoyable wave shooter for those looking for some gory goodness. And while it does offer something for the casual audience, it also has something for team shooter enthusiasts who want to really see how far their skills will get them.
Killing Floor 2 is not a perfect game, but the moment to moment gameplay makes up for some of its shortcomings. Most of the classes feel wholly unique from others and being able to level up multiple skills at once allows for experimentation.
Not only do enemies seem to burst with blood, it will literally coat and stain your surroundings for the duration of the level.
Killing Floor 2 is a great co-op experience with pick up and play appeal that promises to keep delivering with frequent updates and community driven content. It's been a long time since there's been such an addictive standalone co-op game on the PS4.
While Killing Floor 2 doesn’t offer a lot of content, especially compared to many other multiplayer shooters out this year, at the end of the day, it’s still fun to shoot some Zeds with your friends. If you’re really looking for some quick, challenging multiplayer action, Killing Floor 2’s a pretty good place to start.
As the blood flies and the bullets rain down like a bad storm, you’ll whoop with delight as you survive yet another wave. Plenty of weapons, plenty of variety, and plenty of fun.
Killing Floor 2 had a tall order, being asked to recapture the attention of an audience that was either too jaded or too burnt out to give it a fair shake, all the while attempting to improve upon a beloved-yet-flawed low-budget title. Sporting a mostly-overhauled progression system, a built-from-the-ground-up skill system and improving on the grisly gore we've grown to adore, Killing Floor 2 has made a triumphant return. It will likely keep you engaged for dozens, if not hundreds, of hours of Zed-killing.
The game hones in on the basic appeal of killing Zombies without the complications of reaching waypoints or setting up intricate fortifications. Yet Killing Floor 2's strongest asset is in its simple yet effective combat--Tripwire could substitute the Zeds for robots or Nazis and still have a solid shooter on its hands.
In a time when shooters are competing to have the most modes, the biggest campaign, the most guns, and generally the most “stuff,” along comes Killing Floor 2, totally unconcerned with running that race. Its lack of modes and bosses will eventually turn away anyone but the most dedicated of fans, but its foundation is so fun and rock solid that, even if you only plan on playing for a few weeks with your friends, there’s plenty here to enjoy.
Repetitive but fun, a hellish challenge or a relaxing, spectacular gore bath depending on how you approach it.
