Pros:
- Nice Graphics
- Tons of gore... raining blood everywhere!!!
- Weapons brings a nice output feeling, such as motion capture animations, sounds and effects
- Less grindy than previous game in this franchise, has 25 levels per perk instead 6 = better progression sense
- Workshop Support

Cons:
- Has less play-style freedom in comparison to KF1 where we can choose between "camping" or "hit and run", now we cannot camp since the zeds spawns everywhere...
- Crowded with expensive RNG Micro transactions
- Crappy loot rewards (mostly USB and crates, and with some luck you will got a battle-scarred common weapons or headbands) = feeling punished instead rewarded by playing
- Unwanted PVP mode, which delayed content updates and caused some unbalanced issues on the PVE...
- They drop the Martial Artist perk...
- Unbalanced perks, those are more flexible in the usage of offperk weapons that makes the perk's almost irrelevant in comparison to KF1
- Unwanted Survivalist perk = lazy perk which aggravated the unbalanced gameplay issues that game had since beginning of EA
- Lost the scary, darkest and creepy mood of the KF1, now it's less scary and more "neon" futuristic type of art style, specially the trader and medic weapons
- Lost the immersion, the cosmetic designs are over the top, makes hard to take the game serious when playing next to player covered in gold with crazy accessories...
- Awful multi-language support, Portuguese translation it's behind broken, didn't even care to update language strings to match with the newest GUI layouts
- Paid weapons, like cosmetic transactions weren't bad enough
- Also paid weapons are purchased in-game, so those won't be shared through family share, and probably won't get many discounts, feels like a sneaky move honestly

Score: 6/10

TL:DR: If you are hardcore fan of KF1 or if you hate badly the Micro-transactions you might get disappointed, if you're new to the series you might love it.
