    Banger OST time! This is one of the tracks that plays during combat in Killing Floor 2! This track is metal 🤘😤 it goes hard! The track features synths, but they are heavily overshadowed by a guitar that absolutely shreds and drums that bump! The energy is crazy, it's a tough track for a cool game 😎

    This track is the song "Death Marches" by zYnthetic! Killing Floor 2 was an awesome game! The game took everything great about Killing Floor and bumped it up a notch with new maps, weapons, graphics, and refined gameplay mechanics! The OST was certified tough as well 😤 it was an incredibly fun game!

    This track is the song "By the Throat" by zynthetic! Killing Floor 2 is an awesome game! ngl for a while it was a comfort game of sorts, I loved hopping on and tearing it up 😈 my class of choice was Sharpshooter! It was the same in the original Killing Floor as well 😅 I highly recommend KF2 tho!

    I had fun in the Killing Floor 3 beta stress test... it's different but the same... in good ways. I checked steam forums... Did not realize it killed the children I never had and Unreal is the devil that ruins every game... cool. The desire gamers have for a game to fail is at new highs...

    Killing Floor markets itself as a survival horror game but in reality it's all sunshine and rainbows and funny voicelines up until you get caught by a fleshpound, some clots and a siren after taking the wrong turn around a corner then you start screaming.

    Killing Floor is criminally underrated, and the fact it’s basically half-dead now is just embarrassing. This game does co-op survival better than most modern shooters and still gets ignored while people go play watered-down garbage. No hand-holding, no cinematic babysitting—just you and your team trying not to get completely destroyed by waves that actually punish mistakes. Everything hits harder here. The pacing, the tension, the moment the music kicks in and you know you’re about to get…

    Enough summer months spent and more scattered around the year that I'll probably never forget my time in this. The normal game alone was tons of fun. I loved the variety of indoor, outdoor, night and day maps. I miss spamming Insult Players with friends and randoms, and the excessive amount of bri'ish never failed to make me laugh, especially when people were running for their lives. The custom servers were amazing, and that's where I simply couldn't leave. Unfortunately, all of the ones I…

    Can't say I'm surprised Killing Floor 3 flopped. They gutted everything that made that game what it was. I tried the free weekend and only made it an hour before just wanting to go back to playing 1 or 2 instead.

    The best london experience simulator on the market. Still holds up all these years later though creating/hosting servers to play on is a pain due to how archaic it all is now, seeing the words port forwarding takes me back in time. Shame how the sequels went, but this game is still playable and worth it if you can get it on sale cheap

    I came back to Killing Floor after trying a lot of modern shooters, and it still has that raw, tense co-op vibe that’s hard to replicate. The atmosphere is darker and more grounded than most wave-based games, and when things start going wrong, the pressure feels real. Each perk has a clear role, so teamwork actually matters — especially on higher difficulties. Holding a tight corridor with your squad while the last wave closes in is still one of the most intense experiences in co-op gaming.…

    The grindhouse atmosphere of Killing Floor is unmatched, especially when compared to 2 and 3. KF1 is infinitely better because you can't use an electric trap or automatically shove a hoard of zeds away when you're near death. If you get surrounded, that's it, and you have to try a new strategy. 2009 was an awesome year for gaming.

    It's a great game, but unfortunately there aren't many players online yet. On top of that, there's a Russian who's been DDoS-ing the servers for years now, which makes the game hard to play. I've experienced two DDoS attacks in less than five matches. Tripwire is aware of the issue but, since KF1 isnt updated anymore, has decided not to take action. I don't recommend buying it (or playing, if you already own KF1.) given the security issues the game has that won't be fixed.

    The best zombie shooter of all time. I like the designs of the zeds and their unique abilities, the graphics are impressive for it's time and the soundtracks are so fricking good. Even tho this game still has a lot of bugs and the animations are not the best possible, this game will always be so much fun and challenging enough even with a full team. Also the headshots are satisfying. 10/10

    After completing this games massive amount of achievements after 10+ years, I feel comfortable enough to say its one of my favorite games of all time. It ran on my thinkpad in 2011, my first steam game besides TF2 and Garrys Mod. Out of every installment in the series, this is definitively the best in art style, music, general atmosphere, and game play. Seems like one of those co-op survival horrors that will always have a dedicated fanbase, think left4dead2. If I was left with no options,…

    Best and possibly only Horror wave shooter out there. Gun play is still good 16 years later, and in my opinion I prefer this over the other two killing floors as this one has more of a horror art style while the other two are Futuristic of sorts? The atmosphere is also unrivaled in the first killing Floor compared to the other two. Also, regarding Multiplayer for those having trouble, you need to join via IP and there is a website with a ton of options!…

    KF2 and KF3 are fun, but they lack the horror and vibe of KF1. Almost nobody plays it anymore, and it very much shows its age, but its still a really unique slower experience. Playing solo on some of these maps you certainly feel creeped out, especially by the giant left hand when youre holding the knife. Worth a try with some buds

    Killing Floor is a FPS zombie survival shooter. The game is single player or it can be played coop with as many as 6 in the team. The game action is intense with hordes of zombies. The game is extremely well stocked with weapons. I played this on my Dell XPS 9570 with GTX 1050 Ti Max Q graphics.
