I also miss the gritty, dark, isolated atmosphere that KF1 had. I still had my fun with KF2, but when they introduced robot enemies, sci-fi weapons, and generally goofier cosmetics, it killed some of what made the games feel special
Speaking of enshittification, I tried out Payday 1 again… it’s so awesome to get in the game and play. Payday 2, as with KF2, went the way of DLC and presented the game as more of a marketing vector, rather than a product for entertainment.
The gaming industry really sucked the joy out of gaming with some of their decisions, and they only have themselves to blame.

KF1 was awesome. KF2 really stepped up the graphics… but then the enshittifcation began with DLC and adding pay-to-win content.
Because of that, I totally lost interest in KF3.
Taking amazing workshop weapons from 1 and making them paid dlc was a kick in the dick.

Yeah, KF2 has a different “feel” to it for sure.
