I think after playing Killing Floor 1 now this game's just kinda tainted for me. It's lost a lot of the artstyle and identity the first game and it's mod debut had while opting for inferior gameplay loops. In KF1 the individual zed was a lot more of a threat compared to KF2 where it feels impossible to die until you're either on HoE or the game has decided to spawn zeds in every exit but one, leading to every match feeling like you're funneled into camping or kiting on the preset path spawns have decided for you.

You feel very out of control of every situation and it's really a matter of picking the most powerful options and playing as safe as possible, there isn't as much risk taking as KF1 since doing so will immediately kill you due to hordes spawning ahead and around you. I'd rather just play KF1 nowadays, even after trying to force myself to like this still. It's a good intro to Killing Floor but, let's hope KF3 takes after the first game more than this.
