In the realm of gaming, where trends shift like the tides, the PC Gamer team is taking a moment to reflect on their personal favorites from the past year. Each day throughout the month, a new spotlight will shine on a game that has captured the hearts of our team members. Among the myriad of titles vying for attention, one game stands out: Killing Floor 3.
A Nostalgic Journey
While my gaming habits often gravitate towards beloved classics like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Counter-Strike, I occasionally find myself drawn to new releases. This year, Killing Floor 3 managed to catch my cautious eye. My connection to the Killing Floor series runs deep; it was one of the games that shaped my early PC gaming experience. Though it wasn’t my very first game—an honor that belongs to either Call of Duty 4 or Team Fortress 2—it holds a special place in my gaming history.
My journey with the series began with an upgrade to the Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT, which allowed me to dive into the world of Killing Floor alongside a friend who shared the cost of the game. We both quickly became hooked, eagerly anticipating each subsequent release. As I look at the current roadmap and updates for Killing Floor 3, it’s clear that the developers are committed to enhancing the experience, much like they did with the second installment post-launch.
A Game for the Ages
While Killing Floor 3 may not be the flashiest title to emerge in 2025, it resonates with me on a personal level, reminiscent of the joy I felt when I first played the original. For enthusiasts of horde shooters and skill-based cooperative FPS games, I believe it has the potential to be a standout, despite any imperfections it may possess.
As we continue to explore the gaming landscape, it’s these connections to our past and the excitement for what lies ahead that keep us engaged. Stay tuned as we unveil more personal picks from the PC Gamer team throughout the month.
