    Os gráficos estão bons A jogabilidade é muito boa e o match para coop funcionou sem problemas.
    Acredito que o jogo precisava de uma história melhor.

    The main problem of the game, in my opinion, is its attempt not to be an independent cooperative zombie shooter (which in itself is not very relevant), but the fact that in an attempt to jump over your head and create a "Left 4 Dead killer," they did not succeed do.

    Despite the fact that the game has beautiful locations, the level design itself is very simple - it's a straight corridor without any branches, where everything happens strictly according to the same script, which greatly kills the variability. Shooting at enemies feels pretty bland, there are few unique enemies and they do not pose any particular danger, the plot in the game is from the category of nothing, there is only one company in the game and it is short. There are 3 additional acts, but each of them is sold separately (!), which is unacceptable with such a high price tag for the standard edition.

    By the way, online is dead and you can’t play in other modes except for the company, and in the story company, we couldn’t find anyone, especially with a friend. I do not recommend it to anyone. Glory to Ukraine!    … Expand

    L4D is back, but better than ever! It took me a while to buy this game, but when I did, I finished the main campaigns with a bunch of friends in a breeze and bought the season pass!

    I love how there's a lot of nods towards the L4D games and how the main mechanics are still in place, but moreover I love the way they updated everything for this game. More characters, each with different perks. Campaigns with longer acts and a way to continue where you left off. A bunch of new and fun weapons to smash new types of monsters and last but definitely not least: The card mechanic that adds a different challenge everytime.

    This game succeeds in making the gameplay more epic, while also making it more casual. You don't have to finish the whole run on one go, but you'll very likely end up doing "just one more run before sleep". If you love zombie action or loved the first L4D games and had doubts about this because of it's unfortunate rating, give it a chance. You'll love it! B4B offers the same vibe as the old ones, but is so much better on every front. It's a blast with a friend or two!    … Expand

    The story is basically not existent, otherwise, it could be one of my favorite games. You must only play with bots or with friends, playing online matching gets you a stupid team. Expansions are adding a more interesting story though. But it should have been in the original release.

    If you are looking for a 'spiritual successor' to L4D forget it. The characters are cliche and forgettable. Gunplay is okay. No split screen couch co-op. The card system needs to be streamlined or removed. Customization options feel phoned in. Zombies spawn endlessly and feels broken.

    One of the most disappointing games I've ever played. It's not awful, and I don't regret playing it, but damn. For what's intended to be a spiritual L4D successor, it's like the devs aren't aware of what made the L4D games consistently fun and enjoyable.

    Serious lack of tension. Just constantly fighting off mindless hordes of zombies. Like, nonstop. Special infected lack any personality    One of the most disappointing games I've ever played. It's not awful, and I don't regret playing it, but damn. For what's intended to be a spiritual L4D successor, it's like the devs aren't aware of what made the L4D games consistently fun and enjoyable.

    Serious lack of tension. Just constantly fighting off mindless hordes of zombies. Like, nonstop. Special infected lack any personality and spawn way too frequently. The tension is taken out of the big bads when they spawn almost as frequently as regular zombies. Also, terribly lazy boss fights.

    What makes games like this still somewhat 'horror' is the tension. You fight off the waves of zombies, and then there are a few minutes of eerie quiet until the next wave. B4B hardly has moments like this. It barely lets you off the hook. 95% of the time, you are holding RT and shooting zombies. There's a severe lack of tension. It feels more like a "boomer shooter" than an action-based horror game, in the worst way possible. That's not even mentioning this game's lackluster gunplay in the first place.

    The game is, in almost every area, worse than the original L4D - never mind L4D 2. And I've confirmed this is not nostalgia talking, at least for me. I was so sure of this that I booted up L4D 1 and 2 for the first time in years and sure enough, it just feels... better. In almost every conceivable way. Notably the AI. Of both teammates and the zombies. It is somehow way worse in this 2021 release than it was in 2008, and everybody thought that AI was horrendous then!

    If you want your L4D fix without playing L4D, this'll do just fine. But it's simply not the same.

    I do appreciate how certain runs of the same level do feel & look a bit different thanks to the corruption card system. But I'd say about 75% of those corruption cards hinder the experience. Not in a challenging way, but in an annoying way. The ones that change things about the levels like time of day, fog, weather, and even removing power from certain areas are nice and are appreciated.    … Expand

    I had a lot of fun playing through this. The gameplay gunplay is excellent, Everything else though is pretty average such as the characters, story, online and customization. But for a few hours mowing through zombies on single player and occasional randoms online, free via game pass, it is worth your time. Just dont expect it to be as memorable as L4D.

    Lets start with some positive things I do like this art style it looks simplistic and good and was one of the main reasons why I got interested in this game besides the fact it was the left for dead 3. But besides this there are no positive things to say about it. For starters playing with only 3 friends puts you with a random player and was hard to even get started as you get into a hub area which is complete unnecessary and should be like the old days, just a simple freaking menu. Than you got the game running and just aiming on a controller has never felt as bad as in this game. So we got a little bit further and it just wasn't fun the upgrade system was horrible, the cards could be fun but I never noticed a difference and would actually loved to have some more weird cards like exploding zombies or something like that to spice things up and make you over powered. But it just didnt cut it.

    While I know 2021 was possibly the worse year for gaming even this game just seemed bad and un enjoyable. If you have the slightest interest in this game just buy world war Z or try it out on gamepass and see the dissapointment yourself.    … Expand

    Pros:
    +Amazing gameplay loop

    +Extremely polished experience

    Cons:
    -Forgettable soundtrack
    -Gets repetitive after a while
    -Card system only gives minor stat boosts instead of a power fantasy
    -Enormous difficulty spike, specially if playing solo
    -Progress through the storymode only saves if you're the host
    -PvP feels half baked

    Overall, while being a deeply flawed experience, I believe Back for Blood is capable of making a comeback if the team behind it chooses to do so. Most of the issues that plague the game can be solved with time, however the game's bound to feel repetitive after a couple of runs, which is a shame.
    If you're looking for some mindless fun with your friends or just by yourself, then I recommend the game, but if you are looking for an experience that you can sink hours and hours in, then you'll be thoroughly disappointed.    … Expand

    Feeling like I'm playing L4D again. Brutal and fun to play solo or with friends. Card system works very well in game like this, but if you want better cards and want better chance to complete the game on Veteran or Nightmare you must grind the supply points. I recommend to play swarm, you will not receive so much SP, but it's better then playing same missions over and over again.

First and foremost the graphics are dated and comparable to left 4 dead 2, as sad as it sounds, and it seems all the good and core mechanics for left 4 dead 2 has been stripped leaving behind just the mess. Recruit was kind of fun with Randoms but was finished quickly, card decks on that difficulty are useless and meant for higher difficulty play throughs. Mid difficulty is still easy, but the difficulty scales unrealistically with nightmare mode. It is a joke. You have limited cosmetic options and nightmare mode has to be completed with each character one time to unlock a unique outfit rather than completing it once and getting a big reward. As of result completing nightmare provides no real benefit short term, but I still went for the challenge because why not make the most of this big new triple AAA i've been hearing on gamepass--was a big mistake. Enemies are bullet sponges, special infected spawns are crazy, and their health is incredibly high even for the 'squishes' while left 4 dead at least had one shot boomers and pretty weak spitters and hunters. Corruption cards are a joke, some people luck out and make it through nightmare by having good corruption cards based on RNG, on the other hand you can be like me and have acidic air, boss battles, hordes, and armored crushers all in on run making hours go to waste while other people, and Youtubers, make it through with limited problems due to RNG. Not only is difficulty on nightmare RNG, which is already a huge problem in any PVE game, some instances you are so early in the run you have no time to deck build with your cards and can only select or or two cards to use for the entire run. I tried to play solo but realized you cannot, all pay to acquire cards and cosmetics are attained either by grinding or $$$. regardless, playing things solo like in left 4 dead is impossible because solo mode handicaps a lot of objectives and does not allow you to get in our out of game achievements, cosmetics, or anything worth while, it is jus there for no logical reason. So I played online, had bots cause all of my real teammates left and got super far despite bots being braindead and standing around instead of reviving of freeing incapacitated people. They make up for it with laser accuracy and some other benefits the game gives them. Immediately got through the hard portions of the game no problem on nightmare, then halfway through mid game real life teammates joined and ruined everything like retards. alerting every flock of birds, sleeper hordes activated, team killed me once, and Doc refusing to team heal, it was pathetic, and they were PC players. I guess PC players are only good at PvP games crossplatofrm, the very second you play with them PvE you see how braindead they are with no mouse and keyboard leverage as they do every dumb thing possible. I made it further than ever with bots with thousands of copper, full health and low trauma, good ammo, etc. And for the first time ever got good corruption card RNG only for players who can join mid game ruin everything with no option for host to kick like left 4 dead. As I said they took every good thing from left 4 dead and removed it. Special infected have dozens of variations its impossible to keep up with which yuo are fighting as they all look the same, you literally have to study the subtle differences between them to know what is what, game has terrible latency overall and lag (my latency on Xbox says 24ms), guns reload and when you fire reload again as if they magically jammed (no jam feature in the game its a bug), guns shooting blank shots for no reason, AIs and enemies twitching and clipping through obstacles they should not be moving through. Beta has been out since late 2020 and after release is still a buggy mess that at times can ruin the game, like healing and cancelling heal for no reason when you desperately need health. How does halo infinite go from a mess to a jem within a year but this simple game whos template is a left 4 dead rip off seemingly make the game worse from a year since beta? No incentive to finish nightmare, no reason to play with bots who are good if you know what to do when single player is borderline useless, no point in grinding P2W cards or cosmetics, a game chat that is monitored constantly, and is so buggy you can be in party chat but can be heard in game so are force to mute in game chat which made me lose a run as I could not see what my team was saying to me... it is an overall joke. Done with the mess do not waste your time. And xbox, actually invest and pay out of pocket for quality games from quality devs, especially indies like psychonauts and the ascent, stop helping crap devs out with your platform who do not deserve it.… Expand

    Очень слабо. Баланс в игре сломан. То слишком просто то слишком сложно, застревали в одном и том же месте стабильно, надоело и удалил. Если тебя берет в захват толбой даже при 100% хп то сам не освободишься и погибаешь - в чем логика? Рандомам наплевать на тебя, они бегают где-то умирают. Что может быть хуже чем медленно ваншотящий тебя противник абсолютно для тебя неуязвимый? И ладноОчень слабо. Баланс в игре сломан. То слишком просто то слишком сложно, застревали в одном и том же месте стабильно, надоело и удалил. Если тебя берет в захват толбой даже при 100% хп то сам не освободишься и погибаешь - в чем логика? Рандомам наплевать на тебя, они бегают где-то умирают. Что может быть хуже чем медленно ваншотящий тебя противник абсолютно для тебя неуязвимый? И ладно если бы можно было с легкостью куда-то стрейфануться и прочее. Но нет, зачастую локации слишком узкие и тесные для этого. Они в принципе ощущаются слишком тесными для такого колиества монстров и их размеров. Про их арт дизайнерское наполнение промолчу, потому что нечего сказать, они очень скучные, кишкообразные и совершенно не запоминаются. И ещё есть проблемы с метриками и визуальным язвыком тех самых локаций. То ты можешь забраться на один ящик то на другой такой же высоты и внешнего вида не можешь. То вообще забираешься без проблем на супер высокие уступы. А ещё мое любимое это колючая проволока по которой могут ходить зомби а ты нет. Про бесполезные карты, тупых ботов (которые энивей эффективнее людей практически всегда ) и пластиковость всего уже сказали без меня. В общем с дизайном у игры полный кошмар. И графика туда же, выглядит будто игра из 2011-2013 при чем все равно с средней графикой. Атмосфера в игре тоже абсолютно отсутствует, все какое-то платилиновое будто ненастоящее, в картинку вообще не веришь, будто мультяшное практически.
    Скучная безликая неинтересная пресная - вот это все про эту игру. Если бы я за это ещё и деньги заплатил я бы вообще сгорел бы. А так только пары часов жалко - спасибо геймпасу.    … Expand

    Back 4 Blood is loads of fun no matter which mode you play. The game supports cross platform (and cross gen) play for both multiplayer and co-op modes. The campaign is easily the best part of the game, but the multiplayer mode is a good companion mode. So long as you don’t mind that the game is always online and that there isn’t much of a single player mode at the moment, the game is quite good. I’m not much of a fan of online multiplayer shooters, but this type of game with loads of replay value is what I look for whenever I do play one. Like I said at the start, I don’t know how the game compares to Left 4 Dead, but that really shouldn’t matter much since Back 4 Blood is its own game, and it’s a lot of fun.

    Back 4 Blood isn't perfect by any means, but it's absolutely the closest we've gotten to a new Left 4 Dead game in the years since Left 4 Dead 2. Because of this, it's hard not to have fun with B4B, even if it doesn't always feel inventive and has some notable drawbacks. Despite some qualms, if you're hungry for a new co-op shooter to jump into with some friends, Back 4 Blood has more than enough meat on the bone to keep you entertained for quite some time.

    Back 4 Blood is a gory party that begins as soon as you start the first level and never decreases in intensity. It still has some of the Left 4 Dead's essence, but it's a completely different game and the changes suit it wonderfully.
