2091 has never looked so grim, and “Killing Floor 3” wastes no time throwing you boots-first into the meat grinder. This co-op horror FPS cranks up the gore, strategy, and adrenaline as players join Nightfall, the last stand against Horzine’s bioengineered Zed army. In this in-depth exploration of urban hot zones and tactical carnage, every shotgun blast, turret trap, and katana slice feels like a war cry against extinction. Between its smarter enemies, mod-heavy customisation, and visceral violence, the fight for survival feels like performance art drenched in blood and brilliance.

Killing Floor 3 Review Pros

• Benchmark test for the graphics and performance.
• Full controller support, including the DualSense (PlayStation 5) controller.
• Does supports mouse and keyboard, and I’m telling you more as an FYI.
• First-person shooter gameplay.
• The opening tutorial sequence and multiplayer won’t unlock until you do it.
• Solo and multiplayer game modes.
• Wave-based shooter gameplay loop with downtown between the waves, where you can buy guns, upgrades, and health.
• You play on a coins-for-kills system, so the more you kill, the more you earn. (This is in-game money just to be clear because you never know.)
• In between rounds, you can opt to skip the shop and just go straight to the next round.
• A full 3D game world, and it all takes place both in and outdoors.
• Earn EXP and spend it on new skills thanks to three huge skill trees – passive, throwable, and gadget. 
• The central hub is where you can manage your character and choose missions. 
• Daily and weekly assignments. 
• The assignment menu lets you view and pin them, with you potentially earning supply pass exp, perk exp, and cosmetic cards. 
• The game has a battle pass system like in Helldivers 2, you earn points and then unlock a page and choose what to buy, and you buy x amount to unlock the next page. 
• Massive Codex that is the de facto central menu for all things tutorials. 
• You can create loadouts in the armoury. 
• Six character classes to play as – Medic, ninja, sharpshooter, engineer, firebug, and commando. Each has unique play styles and abilities. 
• You can edit your character, like the outfit and headgear, along with skins and attachments for your guns. 
• Earn experience and unlocks for each individual character class. 
• Weekly challenge missions appear in the mission select screen. 
• I like that all the locations are open from the get-go go so you can choose your own path. 
• Each mission run starts with you running for the VTOL helicopter and flying out. It looks cool. 
• Earn credits in a round and use them to buy weapons and items. 
• Excellent voice work. 
• You can shoot when you are done and bleeding out. 
• Completed assignments will pop up as you play. 
• Fast-paced gameplay, and you will never have a second to stay still. 
• Solo is a true test of skill; it’s really hard. 
• End of run breakdown showing exp earned, assignments, etc. 
• Many environmental hazards to trigger. 
• Every character has shoutouts. 
• In solo play, you can pause the game. 
• Find and open loot chests for gear, weapons, or ammo. 
• Ammo bags can be dropped for your team. And it seems most characters can drop them. 
• Equip and create zip lines to fast travel around the area. 
• When playing a location, it always randomises where you spawn. 
• The gunplay does feel meaty and satisfying. 
• When only a few enemies remain, they get a red outline to help you find them. 
• Pure dismemberment model, heads explode, arms fall off, legs go missing, it’s all in there. 
• The trader port in between rounds lets you refill ammo, upgrade armour, buy new guns and equipment, etc. Luckily, you get a line to show you where and how to get to the trader. 
• Find and activate turrets in locations to help. 
• It really is a great atmosphere of man’s last stand. 
• There will be story missions and assignments that will advance the story once done. 
• Play how you want. 
• Enemies can and will kill each other, especially when you add in fire and acid. 
• Slow motion can trigger, and when it does, the screen goes grey and you get to feel bad ass. 
• Materials will drop from enemies, and the cool part is you don’t have to pick them up, just kill them, and you have it straight away. 
• You can sell items and gear at the trader. 
• The trader changes have many spawn locations every round. 
• I really like the locations, not only do they look great but they are open and allow so many options. 
• You can vault and grab ledges. 
• The trader ports do show in a round, and you can pay credits to collect ammo. 
• Destroy things in the level like dishes, cameras etc to earn credits and resources. 
• There is an introductory set of assignments that helps break you into the gameplay loop. 

Killing Floor 3 Review Cons

• The benchmark test is a new one on me; it just says checking and then changes the settings, it doesn’t play a video or sequence or anything.
• The initial compiling of shaders is really long, even when using an SSD. It seems to happen quite often. 
• Mouse cursor stays on the screen even when using the controller. 
• Still found no matter what, the motion sickness was there, not strong and fast acting, but a slow burn that takes effect when I finish playing. 
• Had a fair few hard crashes to the desktop and lost progress sometimes, and sometimes it rewarded me. 
• Slowdown or lag is absolutely killer in the game and ruins the experience. 
• The timer between rounds is really short until you learn the map. 
• Had pop-in and ugly textures appearing.
