Pros
Pro Co-op campaign for up to 6 players
KF2 boasts a rare co-op experience with up to 6 players, which is not the norm for most games, making it a unique experience.
Pro Visceral combat
The MEAT (Massive Evisceration And Trauma) system designates 22 different contact points on each enemy that will react realistically to players’ attacks – for example, you can cut enemies in half vertically and horizontally, dismember them at the hand or shoulder, even shoot off their lower jaw without removing the head entirely. This level of realism – and ultraviolence – makes the combat incredibly impactful.
Pro Cool time manipulation mechanic
Whenever a player makes a long-range headshot, messy bomb kills, or any other skillful takedown of zeds (the game's zombie-like creatures) it puts every player into 'zed time." This slow downs time, turning everything black and white, except for gunfire, explosions and blood, all beautifully rendered. Not only does it make you feel powerful, but also serves as positive reinforcement, since going into "zed time" means you or your team is doing well.
Pro Teamwork is essential
Each character has different skills and weapons that must be used in tandem to solve puzzles.
Pro Lots of puzzles
The game offers a wide variety of puzzles. You must use the two characters’ different skills in combination to solve them, which requires a good bit of critical thinking.
Cons
Con Currently no listen server function
It can be a pain to set up a private multiplayer game due to the omission of listen server functionality. Dedicated server support is available but not well documented; it can be daunting and time consuming to set up for new users or those who are not technically inclined.
Con Puzzles can be simplistic
The puzzles are often easy to solve; implementing the solution may be more difficult than figuring it out.
Con Story is somewhat weak
The plot is cheesy and not very memorable. It’s only real purpose is to set up the various scenarios and puzzles that you have to solve.
Con Poor dialogue
The dialogue in the game definitely took a back seat. It is often cheesy and doesn’t flesh out the game world or the characters very well.
