Oct 12, 2021Fun but i feel like it lacks personality. Especially characters that have weirdly cringe dialogue and are not as charismatic as l4d characters.

Oct 16, 2021Hey gang, very fun game and easily an near perfect score....so why only a 7? Easy,
Can never find full game lobbies despite cross-platform multi-player on also the A.I on your side is so stupid...only worth it if you have real friends or atleast have a public match of 3/4 being real humans. It's got alot of fun guns to use and the blood shooting everywhere brings back the feels of L4D1(2). -
May 3, 2022Le gunplay est vraiment le fun. J'aime le feel des guns dans ce jeu de gun. Malheureusement, le multiplayer ne semble pas vraiment top notch et la fin laisse a désiré.

Oct 13, 2021As a spiritual successor for Left 4 Dead, Back 4 Blood is great to pick up with a few friends by your side, no matter on what platform they play - at least for a night or two. Although it´s gameplay is really fun besides some annoying bugs and horrid soloplay, the game fails to offer enough endgame-content to motivate much further than for it´s six to ten hour long campaign.

Oct 20, 2021The game is fun and even better with friends. Back 4 Blood is a more challenging and replayable version of the Left 4 Dead series. I poured hundreds of hours into l4d 1 and 2, but this game makes expert mode feel like a cakewalk compared to this.
The game is very solid overall, but I am going to reduce the score because of the PvP not being in the campaign. -

Oct 18, 2021Really fun! Enjoying campaign coop with friends a lot! Story characters are dry but it doesn't take away from the fun gameplay. No campaign versus is a huge miss.

Jan 22, 2022It's so weird. Weapons are weird, upgrades are weird. Enemies are weird. The physics are weird. I was hoping for a successor to L4D II. Instead, I got a drugged cousin who has bright moments, but you still won't invite him to Christmas.

Jun 17, 2022Back 4 Blood is fun when played with friends or descent random players at least for the first playthrough but most of the time your team is filled with terrible bots that ignore you when a mutant grabs you or sometimes they make awkward choices and smash a Molotov in your face during the fight.
the only interesting feature of the game is card-based abilities. -

Jul 26, 2022Fast food game. Campaign is good for some 8-10 hours mindless zombie killing. Would be better if you could play it actually solo with no stupid AI bots. As for the rest of the game ot doesn't worth it. The card system is grindy and cumbersome. I don't want to collect cards or manage decks to get the perfect build. I just want to carefree kill some zombies.

Jan 2, 2022Can't recommend it over left 4 dead 2 despite it's age. Crowbcat has an interesting video covering some of the differences.

Feb 16, 2022Back 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.

Jan 6, 2022Along 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.

Game World Navigator MagazineNov 30, 2021One 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]
