Killing Floor 3

I loved KF 1 and KF 2. KF 3 is also good. However, too many server and connection problems make it unplayable. I will change my review once this is fixed.

In current state I have no doubts recommending this game, it is not flawless but it plays well, runs well on my pc which is already on a bit of an older side (though it used to be on higher end of the specs so your millage may vary). A lot of people compare it to previous KF games and that is fair, though currently I rather play this one than KF2, while I loved that game (100% achievements) I think later additions like EDARs were more of a miss than hit. Also KF2 became too goofy with the skins, aesthetics are gone completely, but comparision is not really fair as they are very much different games. KF3 is faster and allows for more complex movement which is not for everyone. Same goes for KF1, it was much slower, it will always remain dear in my heart, though on return it was a bit janky but I probably will return to it again some day. Still comparing the 3 games, KF3 is the only one that actually gives you all the content for the price of the game. (not talking about cosmetics, though you can get pretty much what you want with base game, just if you don't get the better eddition you won't get all of it) KF 1 and KF2 locked a lot of weapons behind paywall though that was done late in development. On it's own, the game is very fun when it comes to moment-to-moment gameplay, biggest issue when playing for the first time in my opinion is the trader UI because it seems like there is not that many weapons (it shows weapons for your perk) but you can get any weapon you want and there is no artificial lock like in previous games (weapons tied to perk). Customization was also a welcome addition because you can take medic SMG you like, slap grenade launcher on it instead of medic darts and it can function as regular damage dealing weapon and so on. Firebug has a ton of options as for example you can put incendiary ammo in akimbo Deagles and use them instead of pre-set weapons. I was afraid that due to poor launch the game won't be supported past year 1 but it seams like we have a roadmap for year 2 so there's still more content to come, probably if more people would get the game, the roadmap would be tighter with more content drops but it is what it is.

I recommend everyone buy the original version of the game instead of the Elite Nightfall Edition for a better experience. Seasons 1, 2, and 3 of the game essentially have the same rewards, some of which are even bad and not worth owning. Most of the game's performance issues, as others have mentioned, include frame rate drops and bugs. The gameplay still lacks innovation and easily becomes boring after a few hours of play. Frankly, KF2 is still much better and more fun; whether Tripwire Interactive can bring people back to it remains to be seen.

A fun KF experience! That the devs are improving performance, adding perks, weapons and maps.
