    All I ever wanted from L4D was a reason to play each level more than once, and finally B4B has enough variables, build customization, and progression system to make that worthwhile. I love being able to change my build with the card system, grab a gun and attachments I want, and then play MY way.

    Level variety and mission objectives are generally way better than I expected.

    Great game. I was such a fan of Left 4 Dead and Back 4 Blood and this game hasn't disappointed!
    The gameplay is fun, and guns feel really solid. I also really like the card system, although it's early days figuring it out but it adds a nice dynamic I think other players will really enjoy.

    I was waiting for a game like this for years, a old school genre pioneered by the same team with Left 4 Dead but with some improvements in 2021, the cards system really adds to the replay ability and its fun to mess around like creating a Left 4 Dead no aiming and sprinting deck.

    So 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.

    The main game is a beautifully balanced blast of team-shooter perfection. Who needs a story when the action is this good? It’s only let down by unnecessary PvP. [Issue#8, p.82]

    Turtle Rock Studios has once again created a fantastic co-op shooter with Back 4 Blood. The game is good when playing solo, but amazing when playing with three friends. The gameplay, characters, and card system make the game dynamic and create another dimension for us to enjoy. These things are so great, making the cookie-cutter story and the repetitiveness of the environments just a bit more painful and unfortunately, these elements hold the game back.

    Back 4 Blood is a great game when played with other people, truly evoking the spirit of Left 4 Dead for a new generation of gamers. This time there’s the incentive of a progression system to keep players coming back, although the Corruption Cards don’t always make those repeated playthroughs as unique as they should. For those wanting to play on their own, it would be best to wait until the game has been patched to include single player progress. Hopefully that shouldn’t be too much longer.
