Played kf1 since launch, loved it. still one of my favorite games. I got kf2 in open beta and somewhat enjoyed it (mostly due to running at about 20 fps) But now its 2020 and I have to say I cannot recommend kf2. I feel it lacks the feel and character the first game had. in kf1 you could tell it was kinda a pet project and was someone's baby, it had tons of character and personality. kf2 feels like a vain AAA attempt to recapture that spirit. I will admit the gameplay can be fun, the balance especially on higher difficulties is all out of wack, with certain perks being pretty much mandatory must haves to win and other perks being almost useless at best, liabilities at worst. all this could be forgiven if it wasnt for the direction kf2 is currently steering. the dev team is flat out lazy and greedy, no other way to explain it. $10 for a single dlc weapon, tons of micro transactions. updates consisting of very little actual changes, one community map, maybe a few reskins of a weapon and another 1 or 2 $10 dlc weapons, enough. As much as I do love the killing floor series, while i dont think kf2 is dead, it is currently stranded in the wilderness with a broken leg, internal bleeding and a hungry bear standing over it. If there isnt a major change in direction soon kf2 will be dead, servers are already scarcely populated and player counts dropping everyday, as much as it hurts to say, I see no light at the end of the tunnel for one of my favorite series ever, and as of it's current state, I cannot recommend investing in the game and supporting the practices of the current dev's
