Killing Floor 3 is fun, quick to pick up, and builds on what worked for its predecessors. And while there’ll always be a place for gory multiplayer shooters, they are a dime a dozen, and this one doesn’t do a lot to stand out from the rest.

To justify buying the game now, you’d have to have supreme confidence in Tripwire (whose team has changed dramatically since KF2), and assume that they’re treating this like an Early Access game, but realistically, it’s better to wait and go play the other games in the meantime.

Killing Floor 3 is an impressively fun time that may very well be the best zombie game since Left 4 Dead 2. With great gunplay, unique classes, and the impressive M.E.A.T. 2 system, this is a game you can count on being a great time. However, the lack of randomization and story elements prevents it from reaching the heights it could in the genre. Still, Killing Floor 3 is an easy recommendation, as the core experience is just that good.

Killing Floor 3 is a fantastic new entry into a classic series, bringing novel ideas, refinements, and technologies to the table. Technical and gameplay caveats keep it from perfection, but it nevertheless remains a good game with a great price.

I’ll likely continue playing Killing Floor 3. I’ll happily reserve a few Friday nights with my friend group for old times’ sake. We’ll likely bemoan the loss of identity of the series once more, while trying to ignore the microtransactions thrown in our way. We’ll complain about how bad a stereotype Luna is.

If you enjoy basic horror-styled shooters, I wouldn’t say this is a bad purchase at all, even though in its current form it doesn’t evoke the same positive impression as its predecessor. Personally, I’m enjoying my time with the game still, despite its flaws.

I strongly believe Killing Floor 3 has the potential to surpass the other games in the series, but decisions like characters being locked to perk classes and obtuse weapon modding might prevent the game from being widely embraced by the existing player base at launch. In 2025 — a particularly fraught year for the games industry — that’s not a great feeling to have about a new game.

Killing Floor 3 is a polished sequel that feels both smartly streamlined and somewhat hollow, coming across more like a solid Early Access launch than a full release.
