    I just played the most recent round of stress testing after the initial invite-only beta a few months back. The game is in WAY better shape post-delay than it was initially, but I can’t help but feel it still needs some significant additional time to bake. The devs definitely seem to be taking player feedback to heart, so I do have faith it could get to a good spot, but I’m personally going to wait for a steep sale to purchase, at which point it would ideally be patched into an even better place.

      What’s significantly different that necessitated a third game? And is it going to be monitized to hell like 2 eventually became?

        Weapon attachments, a more on-the-fly equipment and gear game… Some small QoL items… Honestly aside from getting to ride the hype of a new release there isn’t much to this iteration that “elevates” it beyond KF2. That’s largely why I said it still needs time to cook. If you took everything that KF2 did right and polish the shit out of it, crank it to 11 so to speak, then I could see a full separate release as justifiable. This one is definitely feeling more like a rebase so that they can go even HARDER after micro transactions and battle pass monetization.
