The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Frantically surviving with friends against waves of grotesque creatures, where dark humour and teamwork keep the tension from becoming overwhelming.

What players say

Players call Killing Floor the best of the series for its grimy atmosphere and satisfying Zed Time bullet-time, but warn that finding matches is tough and the multiplayer setup is a slog. Opinions split on difficulty: some love the challenge while others find it punishing, especially Fleshpounds on higher waves.
