    Back 4 Blood is a strange mix of old and new, but it works. The result is a delightfully scrappy hang-out shooter.

    Left 4 Dead is a beautiful relic, something I and many others spent hundreds of hours playing in high school and college. But with games like Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and even Aliens: Fireteam Elite branching out and taking more of a class-based approach, I was sure Back 4 Blood’s more classic bone structure would crumble under the pressure. But Back 4 Blood is more like that makeshift, armor-clad Hummer you see in every zombie show and movie: The bones of what it once was are easy to see, but it’s been reinforced to survive in a new environment.

    Looks about the same as left 4 dead on the 360.. Not much next gen over this. Glad it's on gamepass so I did not waist my money on this

    Brainless cashgrab (no pun intended). One of the worst games i've ever played.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Dumpster, All the decent characters are locked from jump. So the only things to choose from is sh⁸t and or sh⁸t. It's like a liberal woke c¹nt festpolooza of "let's go Brian". I felt like I was being forced to get the Covid vaccine in muh eyeballs. The Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson and Johnson back to back jabs plus the booster. Like the real thing, it didn't work but just kill the masses. It stole more hopes and dreams than the dominion machines during the 2020 elections. The dead did more during the election than did for crap game. I felt like this was a bad DLC for L4D2. This game some how graphicly digressed from its decade old predecessor. The zombies have more in common with the Micheal Jackson video Thriller than the original games. I felt like I was playing with a limp noodle BLM supporter . Save this game for when your suicidal because it might make you realize your life's not so bad after all. You could be a game developer at turtle dick studios.… Full Review »
