Killing Floor 3 Review: Two Bloody Steps Forward, One Step Back

Killing Floor 3 is a case study in contradictions, positively iterating on the best aspects from the series’ past while introducing confusing features that would make more sense in another game. 

Put simply, the new changes make Killing Floor 3 a AA-feeling horde shooter with a battle pass. It’s a pick-up-and-play arcade game with a loadout system. But most bafflingly of all, the game introduces a complex, grindy weapon modding system even though there’s a rather limited arsenal to stuff all those extras into.

Despite these incongruities, developer Tripwire Interactive has crafted a bloodier Killing Floor game with faster-paced arcade-style zombie killing action than in previous installments. I found myself frantically zipping around the map as I was overwhelmed by armies of the dead, utilizing ziplines and side-dashes to escape their clutches — a fun flow reflecting a refined balance of danger and death-dealing.
