Co-op

If you don't mind these facts, KF delivers a fun co-op zombie survival experience, but you would be hard-pressed to justify buying this over KF2, which has none of these drawbacks.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

There's a story and a setting behind everything, but the gameplay is definitely the main focus.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are a lot of different weapons to use, and shooting the enemies feels satisfying.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the graphics are decent and very athmospheric (if a little too dark and grey/brown), the controls feel relatively clunky (especially compared to the buttery smoothness of KF2).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While graphics show their age, the atmosphere remains genuinely unsettling with excellent sound design that keeps you on edge.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I also really like the different classes, or Perks, because they give you different ways to play.
