    play around 80hrs / start from beta, bought deluxe edition

    The mesh-up of zombie apocalypse and RPG-like deck concept was fine. BOT AI was worse than a spiritual successor L4D which is like 15yr old game. Release with full of glitches.

    they were busy fixing glitch and improving QoL for a year- and dev were putting good effort on to it.
    But NO MOD, end of new contents pretty much end the game.
    They say the game will be available but who knows? I assume it will last about 1 or 2year for a good.

    people saying the game is now decent- but i mean, took almost 1year to fix glitches and QoL and charges you $80-90 like a AAA title.

    which means **** TRS done it again like evolve. I won't pre-order or purchase any TRS products in the future for sure.    … Expand

    Just another proof how many of these hollywood game companies downgrade games quality, small details, physics, story, characters again.

    Having to restart the campaign from the beginning if you die like a rogue lite should be a separate game mod.
    No mods support
    Duo in Normal (=veteran) impossible.
    Very little ammo, feels like I'm playing Vermintide 2.

    ove the concept of rogue-like style, has a card to choose your style of play.
    but it is all good things.
    Game is too short, if you play with AI, it's terrible, they cannot help you when you need help.
    I can't believe I can make through this.

    It's not a good game Trashy and completely unneeded title made for the Gen Z kids:
    - Poor boring story
    - Dated graphics
    - Unbalanced difficulty
    - Horrible AI
    - very poor Solo experience
    - Inferior copy of Left 4 dead

    Lootboxes are deeply embedded into the game. While playing, you will find closed chests you need to open by spending in-game (real) money. Which you would also find around the levels in tiny quantities (or in cash shop). So, instead of running around killing zombies and trying to survive, you job is to collect money and open chests, while bots are actually playing, fighting and taking away all the fun for themselves.
    Yes, the game offers zero fun and zero challenge. It's not about surviving, challenges, atmosphere. No. It's all about 100 ways to make you pay more. You open the game- cash shop. You start the mission- cash shop (right in the starting room area). You find some loot during the mission - you've guessed it, cash shop, pay to open the chest. There are also all sorts of cards, weapon upgrades and skins.
    At this point, the game should have been f2p.    … Expand

    Worst zombie models I've ever seen, super ugly and immersion breaking and the steam greenlight ragdolls after they get shot is pathetic. Gunplay is boring and not satisfying, card system is one of the stupidest design decisions I've seen in a horde fps

    It is hard to believe the same people , or at least some of them were involved with the amazing Left 4 Dead franchise. Left 4 Dead is often called 'Ahead of its time'

    Well Back 4 Blood feels a decade too late , its an unpolished mess that shows very little signs of thought and love put into the game.

    Its a damn shame. You are better off replaying Left 4 Dead instead.

    I vote 10 to this game that I love, to counter all the bad critics from the community; In fact the game was not good enough at the release date, but it is far better now, with the Dev Team taking into account feedback from the community and efficient. The gameplay is great. This game is technical. Many content to be added in the future.

    Back 4 Blood is one of those games that you don’t have to particularly worry about grinding, which is incredibly refreshing. Between grinding for in-game currency for dungeon gear in FFXIV, and trying to level up my weapons in Dauntless, it’s nice to have a game I can jump back into with my friends at any point in time and just play. It’s fast-paced, creative, and just all-around good fun. What’s not to love? The game has been out for a while, but that just means that the developers have had more time to listen to feedback and start fixing some of those bugs that have been bothering players.

    Along the way, many mutated creatures cross your path. These include not only the classic slow undead, but whole hordes of super-fast and agile, bloodthirsty zombies - called ridden in the game - to gigantic monstrosities that can send you to oblivion with a single punch. Those nine different types of opponents provide enough variety in the challenges to keep the game engaging for hours.

    One step forward, two steps back, couple steps to the side with some awkward shuffling thrown in-between – that’s how Back 4 Blood feels compared to Left 4 Dead. Card-based power-up system is the only interesting thing about it. [Issue#256, p.40]
