Killing Floor 3’s Launch Draws Mixed Reviews Despite Stellar Gunplay

Tripwire Interactive released Killing Floor 3 worldwide on July 24, 2025, for PC (Steam, Epic), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a starting price of $39.99. While critics praise its visceral weapons feedback, enhanced gore system and refined class combat, performance issues and limited content at launch have tempered enthusiasm.

Key points:

Destructoid awarded an 8.5/10, citing “fantastic new entry” despite loop and tech hiccups.

PC Gamer (74/100) and IGN (7/10) called it a polished but unremarkable sequel.

Lower scores from GamingBible (5/10) and EndlessMode (48/100) highlight grindy progression, class restrictions and buggy Unreal Engine 5 performance.

Tripwire’s post-launch roadmap promises new maps, perks and separation of specialists from classes to address player feedback.

Dead Take: Live-Action Hollywood Horror Game Arrives July 31 on PC

Dead Take, a live-action psychological horror game from Surgent Studios, launches July 31 on Steam and the Epic Games Store for $15. Creative director Abubakar Salim—founder of Surgent and star of HBO’s House of the Dragon—unveiled the title’s film-style visuals and escape-room puzzles at a recent press briefing.

Players assume the role of Chase Lowry (voiced by Neil Newbon), exploring a luxurious yet haunted mansion to find his missing friend Vinny (Ben Starr). Along the way, they splice together corrupted audition tapes and navigate puzzles that peel back the entertainment industry’s darkest secrets. The game, built in Unreal Engine 5, also features appearances from Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer, Jane Perry, Alanah Pearce, Travis Willingham and CDawgVA.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Delivers Classic Soulslike Challenge with New Twists

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, the debut title from Leenzee Games, drops players into a cursed, demonic version of late-Ming Sichuan on PC and consoles. You control Bai Wuchang, a feather-afflicted warrior with no memory, as you explore misty forests, haunted temples, and decaying castles—uncovering lore through cryptic dialogue and environmental clues.

Combat hinges on the brand-new Skyborn Might system, which builds charges through near-miss dodges, and the Madness mechanic, which boosts power (and vulnerability) at high madness levels. A diverse arsenal of weapons, customizable builds via the Impetus Repository, and risk-reward mods ensure brutal, strategic fights that genre veterans will appreciate—even if the story and character designs feel familiar.

Microsoft Cuts The Outer Worlds 2 Price to $69.99 After Backlash

Microsoft and Obsidian Entertainment have reversed course on The Outer Worlds 2’s initial $80 price tag, settling on a $69.99 launch price for PC and Xbox. In a July 23 post, Obsidian joked about receiving fans’ “SOS” on pricing and confirmed the price cut, while Microsoft announced all Xbox Holiday titles will target the new $70 threshold.

The move underscores consumer sensitivity to premium pricing and fuels speculation that sluggish pre‐order numbers prompted the change. Although neither company cited sales data, discussions on gaming forums suggest early demand may have flagged after the original announcement.
