Back 4 Blood

Special zombies not so special, why? Because every 2 minutes one after the other pops up making them feel like ordinary zombies and good lord the regular infected design is terrible another thing to point out is the games sound design isn't very good compared to left 4 dead. Had tried to turn on my flashlight but discovered it automatically turns on whenever I enter a dark room but what if I want to leave my flashlight on like in left 4 dead. What I did enjoy was the gunplay and I guess grinding to unlock stuff look the game isn't bad but its not good either. This game is far from what left 4 dead did.

Having never played the earlier left for dead games, I am not comparing it to those and can't speak for the people who loved those games, although this makes me want to go try those ones now. I'm someone who spent a ton of time with BO2 zombies and WAW zombies back in the day so that's what I'm comparing them to. The game has little to no story, unless you wanna dig into it which I don't. What this game is is mindless shoot the bad guys with friends fun. I've spent a few late nights blasting away without thinking about anything. Sure the cards are a bit confusing at first but you can just pick them randomly without it hurting the game, but they will enhance it if you care. Even my wife who doesn't play much other than zombies played a bit and really enjoyed it. I did try to play alone and gave up pretty quick so if you don't have friends then don't bother but if you like getting 4 friends together and just having fun I would recommend it.

Okay i have seen people both hating and loving this game i personally enjoy it however there are a few issues

its online connection can be a lil sketchy and laggy at times however its not a major glaring issue plus it will likely be improved in future updates

however the levels in the game can be very repetitive and bland

luckily its pretty fun with friends and i mean WITH FRIENDS

while its not bad solo it can be very tedious and a little boring at times

requiring a constant internet connection can be a major issue for some people i know this as i used to have incredibly bad internet but as i said its more fun with people so its not that bad in this case

but overall the gunplay and game mechanics are fun really fun sure alot of the mechanics are borrowed from left 4 dead but i mean if its not broken don't fix it

buuuuuuuuuut they could fix some of the issues such as the servers

but at the end of the day i played for hours with my friends and we had a blast so can i really complain about much.

While weapon upgrades and cards are cool, the game has barely improved since Left 4 Dead. In fact, I would rather play that than Back 4 Blood.

Turtle Rock promised us that Back 4 Blood is a "spiritual successor", but in reality, everything has changed. The Infected, now called the Ridden, are pretty slow, unlike Left 4 Dead, where the fast-paced zombies can be intense. There's also a new card system, which is complicated. Each character has a serving purpose, making you HAVE to choose a character that fits your playstyle, where in Left 4 Dead, all you do is choose a character and choose a weapon. No character has a specific purpose. There are only 4 types of ridden: Normal, Tallboys, Stingers and Reekers, but in exchange have sub-classes. The map design isn't good, but it isn't bad. It's just generic. Overall, the game isn't fun, the characters aren't funny, the map design is alright (I'll give it that), and the campaign is short. The reason Left 4 Dead is easy to pick up, is because it's simple. The on-screen directions cause no confusion, making it easy to learn it. I personally didn't like it, but I hope you do.
