    As 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.

    Great game but with its flaws!

    Goods -gameplay feels smooth and responsive -solid frame rate (on console watch out for high FOV past 100) -console controls feel way better compared to the beta (it isn’t just a snap and shoot game anymore) -A lot of maps to play through (more then expected to be honest) -Card System adds a fun dynamic to gameplay letting you play the style you want to    Great game but with its flaws!

    Goods
    -gameplay feels smooth and responsive
    -solid frame rate (on console watch out for high FOV past 100)
    -console controls feel way better compared to the beta (it isn’t just a snap and shoot game anymore)
    -A lot of maps to play through (more then expected to be honest)
    -Card System adds a fun dynamic to gameplay letting you play the style you want to play
    - Ai Director does a great job (most of the time) with awesome random moments
    -Lots of guns that are fun to use (sawed off is a bit meh)
    - Audio sounds great especially when using 3D audio or surround sound
    - Replay value is high

    Bad
    -special ridden spawn rate is a bit excessive. It definitely needs to be toned down but not as much as the beta
    -special ridden can be a bit hard to distinguish. They need more character and sound effects to cue when one is nearby
    -Needs a 4th difficulty. The jump from Rookie to Veteran is insane. Especially with the spamming of “Special” Ridden.
    -Versus is okay nothing really special.
    -Single Player can’t get achievements or any progress in general. All cards are unlocked right out of the gate. -Always online game

    All together it is a very fun game. Don’t go into this expecting a story just like Left 4 Dead it is all about gameplay and replay ability. I hope versus campaign makes a come back but for now PVE is great. This game has a lot of potential I just hope they can iron things out soon and I believe this game can be amazing.    … Expand

    The 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.

The cards can be divided into DIY decks or already preset by the game and therefore suitable for all styles. In the offline mode I noticed some very cute ia that cover well and are good battle companions. Even the level design of back for blood as a whole convinces by giving a fair challenge between zombie and player. and the level design does its best for a fair challenge the only three types of difficulty (recruit, veteran and nightmare) do not make the challenge easy for everyone.As said at the beginning the game focuses much more on fun than on the narrative that disappoints it too.

    I really wanted to like this, and it's a decent game, but it immediately doesn't live up to a worthy Left 4 Dead successor.

It has half the game modes of original L4D and is not even more fun than World War Z. While there are no glaring issues or serious technical flaws, here are some of the problems:

    -The hype of a Left4Dead successor falls immediately flat.
    -Not one innovative level or gameplay idea. Everything here you've seen before elsewhere.
    -Story and missions are just not very compelling or engaging like Left 4 Dead's story.
    -Gameplay becomes very repetitive. No director that really mixes things up. After two or three playthroughs of a mission, it offers nothing new except farming for cards.
    -Movement and reflexive shooting is sluggish and nerfed for console-style aiming.
    -Specials aren't interesting, unique, or add to levels. Shoot the red spot and move on.
    -Card system is interesting, but simply doesn't add enough to warrant more playthroughs to mine them. Plus, mining card systems suck.
    -Very uneven difficulty. Some levels far too easy, others impossibly difficult.
    -Follow AI is terrible - they just teleport and snap places.
    -Not one noteworthy technical achievement. Looks and feels like any of the 100 other FPS shooters out there.
    -Definitely not worth $59 when older games like L4D/WWZ/etc are more fun and sell for $10.

    L4D was a technical and gameplay achievement for it's time. It raised the bar and re-defined what a zombie shooter could be. The sad truth is that there's not one real area where this game is better, or even as good as, Left 4 Dead - let alone surpassing it. Which is really sad since L4D came out 13 years ago.    … Expand

    As a game on it's own, Back 4 Blood is decently good, as a spiritual success to left 4 dead it is greatly lacking.

    Pro's
    - Graphically satisfying environment with descent level design
    - Clever (though reused from other genre's) mechanics in some levels (for example, planting explosives to sink a ship under pressure of a horde)
    - Good coop encouragement in the implementation
    - Cross platform play, allowing me to play Steam players while owning the PC version of the Xbox game pass
    - Varied dynamics of play (albeit from the 'card' system)

    Con's
    - Lacks the same tension, relax, scramble atmosphere found in L4D
    - Zombies (ridden?) look a little cartoonish to me
    - Too many weapons, overly complex system for weapons.
    - Oddly immersion killing "store" system in each safe room to "purchase" things. Weird in an apocalyptic setting where weapons and resources should be scavenged
    - Card system is another immersion killer, just seems weird though the varying game play makes replay qualities better. Wished they would have done something different
    - Mousing issues with high poll rate mice
    - The "special" ridden all look the same to me, less character though varied in their attack methods they are still not as interesting as L4D for example.
    - This is a big one: No support for mods or community created content. This alone will make the product life cycle less than a year, where as L4D has been living well for > 10 years.

    I do not dislike the game, but I am not overly ecstatic about it either. My first encounter with the game during beta gave much more negative impression, playing some more of the release (via game pass) I have warmed up to it a little more. Not worth 60 bucks though, maybe 15 when/if on sale.    … Expand

    Good things:The game feels modern with good graphics not as high elevated graphics because not everyone has a high end pc,the gameplay feels awesome like a fps modern game not as bad but not as a triple a fps game like cod,map design very good whay better than left 4 dead,very good idea of design for the infected and characters, a good variety of weapons,the card system for me it was a good feature for the game it adds a new approach on making the game more replayable and easier to complete on the long run.
    Bad things:one of the things that make so good left 4 dead it was the casual gameplay that it has it is not dificult to play it even on expert but b4b its not easy to play they maked the game more dificult and the casual aspect its not there, for me it was a good balance i´m a hardcore gamer i like fps so the dificulty part it was not an issue for me, just on a few bad things that the game has that make it harder to play it that i´m gona tell next,the IA for the bots its bad that makes the game harder for single player experience so try to have at least one friend to play the game and its more fun,the story its not so good people compair it with left 4 dead but if you look at the story it´s not as good as you think also just a little better narrative,the pvp modes are so bad haha literaly they are unplayable and unbalanced,the game was to expensive in launch for the content of the game it was a good thing they added it on game pass,the game has little bugs with walls and stuff but almost every zombie game has those its dificult to have good optimization with a tone of infected runing around the map.
    Conclusion:Overall the game its good online coop game but nothing especial, what l4d has b4b hasn´t and what b4b has l4d hasn´t,this game was develop so weird that i don´t understand maybe it was the budget or the time or it was rushed i dont know, i follow the development of the game since day 1 because l4d1 its one of my favorite games of all time it was the first fps game that i played on my life even with that i was not expecting b4b to be better than l4d2 because its a whole new different game,i think people get to nostalgic and just not review the game as a new game and they think its l4d3,it has the base of l4d but theres a lot of games that has the base as l4d like vermintide,killing floor,zombie army,wwz and a lot more,i just saw the news that the devs will not longer suport the game and in my opinion its a good idea i hope they begin to understand more the public on every aspect and focus on a new game that is not as ambitious as b4b,i hope the users understand a better way to see the new games and not just a copy of some old games or sequel when its not.i have hope for the future of turtle rock its one of my favorite studios.    … Expand

    Back 4 Blood is the spiritual successor to the Left 4 Dead franchise, produced by the same studio that did the first game.

However, the game fails at a range of other aspects and is simply not as fun as it's predecessors.

    The biggest issue with Back 4 Blood is, by a long shot, the fact that all levels feel the same and don't stand out in any way. Add a poor content division on top of that - where several campaigns are grouped together into Acts and can't be chosen individually (meaning you almost always will be playing the first one), the lack of a lobby browser, tough requirements to unlock the other Acts, only being allowed to wipe (when everyone dies) ONCE before everyone is kicked back to the main menu, and the poor matchmaking that makes it so once someone leaves nobody will join in, and you have a game that fails at accomplishing what the original Left 4 Dead did.

    Overall I wouldn't say it's a bad game but the way matchmaking is done, the poor content organization and that ridiculous AAA price tag have killed it.    … Expand

    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.

    - you can only unlock achievements and other in game items by playing online with other players, but you can just start a game and have player join, no you have to wait 5-10 mins as the game tries to find other players to join you before it finally lets you play on your own with bots.
    -Act 4 a short but hard final level and the game still cant give you the best stuff for the final battle.
    Weapons are bad, so you like the M16 none of to characters you can pick start with one, so you have to hope one spawns, then you find some common mods for it, and then you find a rare version of the M16 with no mods already on it, so your Common M16 stats are worse then the Rare virsion, but you cant take mods of so its a lose or lose gamble, and if you get lucky enough to get a Rare version and find the legendary mods for each slot then you still lose it after completing the Act, only to repeat the process.

If you compare it to Left 4 Dead which is like 10 years old or something there you had way more different sceneries. The different colors alone, different structure of the maps as well and in general way more maps and levels.

    I'm really not a fan of the card system. Was it really needed? Does it really make the game more interesting? Couldn't they add complexity any other way? It's also not balanced and way too much randomness in my opinion. And you should be able to customise your weapons freely.

    Left 4 Dead was just fun. Start and instantly play. No problems. But Back 4 Blood adds unnecessary grind that only adds some faux depth like in Age of Empires 3. Nobody liked the cards in AOE3, since it was stupid. It's stupid here as well.

    And the cutscenes are annoying. Stop trying to create movie snippets to tell a story. Don't be lazy. Tell a story with the unique and inherent tools of the medium. Storytelling is highly appreciated, but f*** cutscenes! They add nothing to the medium. In movies there is a rule: "Show don't tell!! In games you could translate it to: "Let the player engage through interactivity, don't show". Let players participate in the story. Don't force them to be passive spectators!    … Expand

    I'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.

    Back 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.

    Так-с, ну а теперь о том, почему мне было тяжело в это играть и почему я не могу хвалить эту игру:
    Я фанат л4д и мне понравилась и "Revelation 2012" и "Earthfall", но МНЕ ПРОСТО СКУЧНО СТРЕЛЯТЬ, не знаю, почему, вот просто было скучно и чтобы играть больше 2 часов в день надо было делать усилия над собой, а ведь это самое главное для шутера, даже большинство моделек оружия какие-то никакие, хотя иногда обвесы и стрельба от бедра спасали ситуацию. 2 большой минус это невыразительные локации, ни одну из них вы не запомните, этой игре явно нужен был хороший дизайнер, я ожидал интересных локаций, но нет, тут схалтурили и уж что говорить, лефт 4 деду всегда не хватало сюжета, но его сюда тоже не завезли, какие-то никому неинтересные солдатские брифинги просто, сходи сюда, спаси тех то, принеси то то, дизайн персонажей тоже никакой, дизайн хаба вообще плохой, когда я первый раз зашёл в игру, сразу понял, что у игры проблемы со стилем. И 3 большой минус это конечно отсутствие мастерской, а без этого даже близко повторить успех лефт 4 деад просто невозможно. Также есть ещё куча всякой нагружающей всячины в игре типо колод карт, обвесов, скинов, но это всё спорные вещи, не могу сказать, однозначно хорошо это или плохо, но, вот, кстати, насчёт скинов могу сказать, что там надо часов 50 наиграть, чтобы хотя-бы один нормальный скин выбить, а кампания проходится часов за 8-15 и тогда какой в этом смысл?))
    Но всё-таки не смотря на все минусы, я не могу сказать, что это плохая игра, она скорее разочаровывающая, но слеплена она более менее удобоваримо и получить немного удовольствия можно, всё таки, поставить оценку ниже рука не поворачивается, я даже не жалею потраченные 2 тысячи, но особой ценности в этой игре не вижу, я очень ждал и надеялся на что-то типо лефт 4 деад 3, но не получилось.    … Expand

    Fast 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.

There is also 0 amount of mod support, In left 4 dead 2 you could add several mods but in this new very hyped up game there is no mod support. The game is just super mediocre and lacks any creativity and the characters are so unlikeable. All of them deliver cheesy one-liners and just seem to happy to be fighting zombies. The zombie spawn placement is even worse than the original left 4 dead. Its possible for a massive **** monster to come up right behind you and beat the **** out of you without even being warned.

    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.

    It's a proper fun hack n' slash and doesn't take itself seriously at all. The menu system is seamless. As per LFD, another player can jump in mid-game and take over an AI and just hit the road running.

    The card system in game initially seems very complicated and takes a bit of getting used to, but after a few stages, you start to realise how good it really is and it adds a fun decision element to the start of each run.

    I would definitely suggest starting as rookie in Campaign mode. We're running through veteran now and it's TOUGH! :)

Бетка была просто обманом, на релизе игра имеет просто неадекватные уровни сложности. Боты не просто бесполезные, они наоборот даже мешают, просто тянут игроков на дно, застревают не пойми где, падают в гуще зомби. До финала 3 акта играть в дуо было зачастую просто больно, но проходимо, даже без перезапусков. Но в итоге мы все же уперлись в непроходимое для нас задание с тасканием ящиков по узеньких коридорчиках под одной БЕСКОНЕЧНОЙ ордой горящих зомби: ни передышек между волнами, ни отметок где искать эти ящики. Просто полное осознание того, что путей прохождения этого ада у нас попросту нету. 6 ЯЩИИКОВ, КАРЛ! Во время переноски стрелять нельзя, боты ящики не берут, выходит один должен стрелять, а другой нести ящик, и так 6 безостановочных ходок: остановился - умер, уронил ящик - потерял его в толпе зомби, так как расположения ящика никак не отмечается а миникарты для ориентира нету. Как бы мы не выстраивали маршруты, мы приходим к тому, что на уровне банально кончаются патроны, аптечки и взрывчатка, без которых одолеть выстроившихся в очередь 3-4 зомбитанков ну просто невозможно. И до этого были сложные уровни, но мы всегда находили нужную тактику. Но тут все, безысходный финиш. Вопрос: зачем это на самом низком уровне сложности? Разработки сами-то тестировали свою игру на ПК в дуо? Я знаю, что на консолях количество зомби уменьшено, поэтому консольщики сейчас меня могут не понять.

    Игрожурналисты, которые поголовно ставят игре высокие балы - либо гарантированно не прошли и половины этой помойки, либо же разработчики высылали им билды с пониженным уровнем сложности, дабы не травмировать их ностальгические чувства. Потому что расхождение с отзывами игроков кардинальное. Если у вас нету команды из опытных киберкотлет, то покупать эту игру крайне не рекомендую.

    Ну и вкратце об остальном:
    - сюжета нету (без шуток);
    - графика посредственная, но отторжения не вызывает;
    - оружия много, но 80% арсенала - бесполезное барахло ради галочки;
    - стрельба на уровне выше среднего;

Not used physics and styling the same as L4D. A zombie game with a good storyline. Instead of 4 health bars as the bottom just have 1. Instead of restarting at the safe room, have checkpoints instead. L4D was such a great game but its in the past and everyone wants the future.
    The cards are more of a hindrance. The guns and customization is a great feature and finding new attachments and stuff, I loved it. I didn't like only carrying 1 grenade, this would have been better if you could carry 2 and then throw them whilst having your weapon equipped. Then having 2 equipment, 1 health item and 1 quick item.
    This game could have been so much more if it wasn't trying to appeal to something that was made over a decade ago and instead made something new and improved and had features that they could really brag about. Seriously if I goto someone and say "Have you tried this new game, its like L4D with a couple extras?" it doesn't exactly sound as fun as saying "Have you tried this new game where you can do this, this and this?"
    When you copy an old game, you set people up for disappointment. You do something new then people don't set the barrier so high and its easier to please them. I hope to see more zombie games in the future but I would like to see new and amazing features.
    The worst parts of this game that really made it annoying was that if you walk near a zombie your character can hardly move even when the zombie isn't at the point of attacking. Restricting the player like that is horrible. I understand this is games years ago but in games these days its annoying. Another thing is that all combat instances are the exact same. Its just enemies running at you and you shoot them. Why can't you approach things differently and give the game more replayability? Like multiple different lanes and rather then zombie knowing where you are without even being detected you could have made it so if you go within a certain radius of a zombie they could slowly follow the scent until they get direct eye site at you and then charge at you alerting all of the other zombies in the area. This would then allow players to have a choice. Do they wanna go guns blazing or take the stealth approach and pick off as many zombies as they can before getting noticed. Of course you should then tune the health so body shots do less damage then what they do now and such.
    Although I can't say all the game is bad. It is a good game. I had fun playing it. I didn't really understand the hole story. Although I think the game didn't focus so much on that area and it was more just an arcade zombie shooter. The gun mechanics didn't feel bad. The graphics were nothing outstanding but they were still good. For the size of the dev team I believe they done a good job with them. It fun to play with friends or family. Not something I would spend hours a day on but as something to have a little enjoyment out of here and there.
    I do hope this game doesn't put turtle rock off developing future zombie games. This was still a good return and I am hoping they take the criticism in a positive way and it gives them an idea on what to do with future projects. I believe people are not taking the big picture into consideration when reviewing this title. These devs aren't million airs and its not a team the size of Infinity Ward, Bungie or Rockstar.

    Needs 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.

    The 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.

    if you dont have 3 friends to play with expect to be disappointed when the team AI is so poor you would rather have a toddler that just started to speak

Voy a pasar a decir mis puntos buenos y malos:
    *Buenos: - Masivas hordas de zombies con muchos momentos de acción
    - Varios niveles de dificultad (yo admito que fui muy cabezón y me lo intente pasar a la primera en la dificultad más difícil de ese momento, pesadilla, y no podía, fui realista y baje la dificultad, a día de hoy ya puedo en pesadilla)
    - Tienes un sistema de personalización basado en cartas que te da la posibilidad de crear muchas maneras de jugar (desde ir con un bate por el mundo hasta ir solo tirando granadas y molotovs por el mapa)
    - Mucha rejugabilidad de los niveles
    - No hay microtransacciones ni siquiera de cosméticos
    - crossplay entre plataformas
    - Las armas son divertidas de utilizar, hay variedad entre todas sus clases
    - Los gráficos son bastante cuidados
    - si no tienes amigos para jugar puedes agregar a randoms con los que juegues en su sistema de agregar a amigos que va desde agregar de tu propia plataforma hasta a otras plataformas (mi caso soy play y puedo agregar a Xbox o PC)
    - En ps5 han adaptado muy bien el mando con sus funciones especiales que tiene, desde sentir el recoil y vibración diferente a cada arma que existe
    - personalización de skins y armas bastante notable
    -Gran variedad de zombies especiales
    *Malo: - Escasez de niveles (en total hay unos 30 y pico, pero yo que he jugado cientos de horas se me queda un poco corto al final)
    - pocas actualizaciones, es cierto que no podemos comparar actualizaciones a nivel de Fortnite por ejemplo, pero a día de hoy 16 de junio de 2022, desde que ha salido el juego, solo ha recibido una actualización de contenido, tueneles del terror y 3 de reworks de cartas y skins)
    - Bots, son de inteligencia bastante mala, disparan muy bien, te curan a veces y disparan muy bien, pero a la hora de hacer objetivos y cosas así... Vale la pena jugar este juego solo online, habrán algunas zonas que en dificultad alta serán imposible de hacer con bots a no ser que estés haciendo un speed run
    - Muy pocos modos de juego, es verdad que la gente se quejan de que no haya un modo de luchar contra jugadores en campaña, pero el juego ofrece solo dos modos de jugar, campaña con gente online o el modo enjambre, solo dos modos me parece poco la verdad.

    Eso sería todo y si alguien se ha leído la revises entera y ha llegado aquí, enhorabuena, eres un crack.    … Expand

    I 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.

    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.

    Reviewing for 2022 it's not a bad game, but it needs work in a few places. When the game first released and I played often with friends it was a lot of fun. Then after the game was out, no content for months then a minor expansion made it difficult to want come back to. But recently after the 2nd expansion was announced I was hopeful and started playing again to see what I missed.

But recently after the 2nd expansion was announced I was hopeful and started playing again to see what I missed.

    The expansion is good, but teams of randoms in the hives are often uncoordinated and can easily fall apart. Some of the grind can be downright miserable at times, and it felt like I was going to a 9-5 just to earn a new outfit for a cleaner. But playing solo with others is a fun experience I've had as
    my other friends have moved on by now.

    The cleaners have good personalities, and its fun to hear how they interact with each other, but god the voice lines are so annoying at times its like right out of a B-movie and you'll hear them a lot with how much they want you to play.

    Overall the content drought for the game is still ongoing, but I hope the expansions will breathe new life into an already good game that seemed to have lost the general audiences good graces months/years ago.    … Expand

    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]
