Grab The Games: Killing Floor 2

Killing Floor is back baby! I really can't believe that. One of my favorite games is back and better than ever. But what is killing floor 2? In KILLING FLOOR 2 players descend into continental Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech's failed experiment has quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum, essentially paralyzing the European Union. Just one month after the conclusion of the events in the original KILLING FLOOR, the specimen clones are everywhere and civilization is in disarray; communications have failed, governments have collapsed, and military forces have been systematically eradicated. The people of Europe know survival and self-preservation too well and lucky survivors have gone into hiding.

Not all have given up hope though... A group of civilians and mercenaries have banded together, paid for by Horzine, to combat the outbreak and established privately funded operation bases across Europe. Upon tracking specimen clone outbreaks, players will descend into zed-laden hot zones and exterminate them. There are many things I loved in this game. First and foremost, our favorite enemies are back (like the zeds) with new intelligence, design and they can attack now in mobs so they can weaken the enemies and kill us faster. The difficulty is really impressive in this game.

First and foremost, our favorite enemies are back (like the zeds) with new intelligence, design and they can attack now in mobs so they can weaken the enemies and kill us faster. The difficulty is really impressive in this game. As the game becomes more difficult the enemies start attacking differently instead of having more health or power like we have get used to in previous games. I also loved the improved perk system with some of my favorite perks in the previous game making it in the main game! The melee combat is also improved. Players now have control over the type of melee attacks they can perform, enabling them to deliver bone-breaking crippling attacks to Zeds.

There is also a unique Blend Of Weaponry - Modern military assault rifles, brutal improvised makeshift weapons, classic historical guns, and off the wall Mad Scientist weapons, KILLING FLOOR 2 has a unique blend of killing tools that will satisfy any gamer. However, there are some negative aspects that I should mention... I think because it is beta these thinks are expects but I should mentioned them anyway. There are some bugs and some random problems like crashes. Another negative for me is that people who were playing beta didn't know the exact requirements of the game. As far as the game it is concerned one of the negatives for me that the slow motion mode happens way too often and when you have a full team it happens A LOT!

To sum up, the game is fun and full of gore which I love! The game has evolved a lot since KF1 and the game is definitely heading in the right direction. Disregard the negative aspects because there will be tweaks and fixes soon! The game is a must have! Tripwire managed to make the goriest game possible and bring the series one step further! I am proud!
