Killing Floor 2 - Book Review
I recently got Killing Floor 2 on Humble Bundle Monthly. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.
It is a cooperative/single-player zombie killer, where you fight waves of harder and harder zombies. There are a few slow zombies, but mostly they are nasty and quite fast.
They also have a habit of coming from places you wouldn't expect.
The last wave is always a boss (which usually have minions). This can be a bit annoying, as bosses are very repetitive (not sure if they vary per character level, but looks like it), and tend to run off to heal.
Levels are pretty good and look great. You have a number of "character types" - called perks - such as Commando, SWAT, Sharpshooter, etc where you get bonus with the specific guns.
One thing I like which isn't always available in single player is that you still get experience and improved stats (such as more damage, health, etc). You also unlock skills every 5 levels, such as bigger magazines, faster reloading, etc.
One annoying issue that seems to come from my HDD+16 GB RAM is that load times are spectacularly awful. Up to 10 minutes for main menu. I had 8-bit computers with cassete tapes in the 80s - this might actually be slower.
From posts sounds like if the game sees a lot of RAM it caches more, which makes things worse.
Thankfully it seemed to improve a lot after a few runs - I'm guessing the SSD which only works as cache is helping there.
Overall, it is OK, almost good.
