Oct 12, 2021Really nice game. Is like the perfect Left 4 Die 3. I hope the game will get more free content in the future and mod support.

Oct 12, 2021Good game and I liked it. It looks like Left 4 Dead a little bit and don't have an atmosphere of this game but if we wouldn't look at it like a L4D's son, it's cool :3

Oct 12, 2021Divertido, muy entretenido, si en el futuro meten cosas para que no se quede corto en poco tiempo tendrá buena vida.
Muy bien optimizado, y buenos graficos. -

Oct 14, 2021Great game, the real evolution of L4D, while L4d offers a simpler fun experience, B4B takes that concept and expands it thanks to the card system the corruption cards makes every run different adding more challenges, stronger zombies or special infected and at the same time you get to buff your character with your own cards deck boosting your favorite playstyle.

Oct 16, 2021I'm a old player that played l4d1-2 very active in the past. I also played the alpha and beta from back 4 blood and i love this game. turtlerock got a good game right there. what people still don't get is that back 4 blood isn't a new left 4 dead. It's a fully new game. so don't hate the game dead because you think thats not a new left 4 dead.

Dec 29, 2021The game is good. Already Played 120 hours or so. Card system seemed dumb at first but turned out to be my favorite feature in this game.
Warning, this game is haaaard, and there's a lot to take in. If you play above recruit mode and don't have the right cards or teammates, you're already dead. -

Oct 10, 2021Not as good as L4D. Equally chaotic and good. Special infected/riddends appear way too often and are too strong, customization on guns could have some work, and levels are not as iconice and varied, still, very fun to play with friends and can expect to get better.

Oct 8, 2021So all in all, it may not be Left 4 Dead and while there are things missing, in the end however, Back 4 Blood is a very good game that is worth the time to play and recommend.
-
Oct 10, 2021Super fun spiritual successor to left 4 dead! But way better graphics and improved gameplay.

Oct 14, 2021it's a good game with friends, it has a pretty good difficulty there was a lot of improvement since the beta it's a pretty good gaming experience just like left for dead, but with a new spark that lifts it
-
Oct 25, 2021Solid experience. The areas aren’t very different from each other and the dlc is expensive, should’ve made the dlc free.

Aug 24, 2023Very good L4D game.
Does not deserve 10/10 or 9/10 though because of the lobby control and QoL features to save and continue online or something like that -

Jan 4, 2023As a huge Left 4 Dead 2 fan, I thoroughly enjoy this title. Sure, story and character-wise this game isn't too impressive, but with all of the new additions each run brings something different and exciting.
-
May 22, 2023Graphics are more better on PC than PS5 also after last update most of the bugs is no more exist - 8/10

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.

Dec 11, 2021Needs some adjustments, but overall it's a lot of fun. Deckbuilding is a great feature to help keep things fresh, and their plan to add more cards is exciting to look forward to. There is a lot of hate-bandwagoning against this game, and while many of the level-headed criticisms are worth addressing, beware of frothing gamers who would steer you away from the game for their own agenda.

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.

5/10 - for party of 3
Average = 6/10 -
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.

Aug 10, 2022I had fun playing this game, i like that you can customize your weapons and use cards that help you through the game but that's it. I recommend it playing with friends, it's more fun. The campaing is okay but it's not great. I think you might play it for 2 weeks and that's it.

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. -
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.
-
Aug 15, 2023I'm not a big fan of those Left 4 Dead style games but I was really expecting this one to be better. I completed all campaign set pieces 'cause the game looks good and such, but nothing to write home about.

Oct 16, 2021el juego está bueno y entretenido, pero hay cosas que arruinan la experiencia. como por ej.: la dificultad es muy artificial en algunos casos y hace que, a veces, sea muy difícil y estar en la dificultad mas baja. Aparte a mi se me borro todo el mazo personalizado con todas las cartas que había conseguido (lo desinstale). En fin, espero que arreglen eso.

Jan 7, 2022It 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. -

Oct 12, 2021Dont buy the game at least right now. Media is overhyped by l4D nostalgia. Controls are not good with a controller. There is no dismemberment. I dont get why press did not notice the zombie physics and gore are just bad and outdated in this game. and this should be a top priority. There is just no satisfaction in killing zombies after a few hours...
-
Dec 15, 2021I've been so upset with WB for over advertising this game and not putting any money into LEGO Star wars: The Skywalker saga, and I told people this game was completely over hyped/advertised and I was right, this game is boring and doesn't have the charm of L4D2, it's really ironic that they favored this game so much over star wars and this game turned out to not be good.

Oct 13, 2021Back 4 Blood is horrible simply put. It is a worse version of left 4 dead in every aspect. Turtle rock isnt the same when Valve isnt over them.

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]
