Not a Left 4 Dead 3, but very fun. As long as you see it as it's own spin on the coop shooter genre it's really good. The gunplay is enjoyable and I really like the card system. It has it's problems, but nothing major (aside from no longer being supported by the devs). If the game had more modding support and if the devs revisit it, this might be one of the best coop shooters out there. As it stands it's still one of my favourite games I've played recently. Reply to the comment: From some of the people behind L4D, sure. I have both played Left 4 Dead 2 for hundreds of hours and played this for over 100hrs and can say that both games can stand on their own and be fun. I love L4D but I don't have to hate this game because it's not the same. L4D has a huge amount of mods and if i just want to play singleplayer or offline it's great fun. It's was also great for when I did not have a pc powerful enough to run newer games. I like the writing more and it still holds up in many ways. (Can't say much about multiplayer due to me not being that experienced and most of my friends don't care for it) B4B is great in it's own ways. I like the card system, building decks that work well with each other in coop is cool and keeps us experimenting. I like being able to mod my weapons and the loot makes me want to explore each map a bit more. I also enjoy the hives and their designs (though get a bit repetative after a while). Both games have fun levels and both have fun lore and story bits. If you are short on money or don't have a powerful pc or constant internet connection then you'll probably enjoy L4D more. If you already played L4D a lot and want to try something else or are looking for a decent coop shooter kinda similar to games like Vermintide or Darktide (i guess) with more modern weapons get this on sale. Either way you can have fun with both and should not write this off, just because it wasn't a Left 4 Dead sequel.

played it right up to when TR abandonded it. it is a good game in its own right with quite a lot of replay value due to the card/progression systems. I would never call this a successor to l4d, however; it's more of a divergent path down a more tactical/thoughtful experience Buuuuuut the fact that they're still charging 60 bones for it is really silly. Get it on sale for like ten bucks.

I won't compare this to left 4 dead, if I did It would sound worse than it actually is just due to how good Left 4 Dead was. Back 4 Blood had a (right deserved) rough start, the game launched in an abysmal state. Glitches and bugs that ended your run, AI that was atrocious and got you killed repeatedly, insane difficulty spikes that made the game go from too easy to impossible in a snap, god awful progression/card systems that stalled gameplay, and more. Almost every one of these issues has been fixed, albeit in the bare minimum of ways, but fixed none the less. The result is the game is no longer painful to play, and a game that I would have said is a 3/10 before is now more of a 7/10 for it's current much lower price (full price is still not really worth it content wise). So yeah, get the gold edition during the super sale, have a blast through it once with friends, enjoy it, and probably never play it again. That's fine, you'll get that $10 worth of value I promise.

It's Not Easy To Like Back 4 Blood (no worth full price, buy during sales) Where RNG Is Lord and Fail the Beginning My first impressions were solely positive: juicy picture, gore, familiar run/survive/reach the exit. There's plenty of content e.g. roughly 10 missions per each campaign, a long journey to make! Moreover, you can select one of many playable characters and enhance your experience with buffs (in-game cards). Unfortunately, the game will do the same. Its AI keeps adding ominous cards i.e. armoured enemies, oxygen starvation, burning zombies and many alike. Imaging how annoying it is to die instantaneously from an unlucky hit that sent you overboard, because the game activated elite zombies or a roaming boss, who now block the only escape route during infinite assault. What initially looked like a cool feature, quickly turned into a frustrating mechanic. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3182353553 May the Rare Loot Shine Upon Us B4B has random drops and weapon attachments! Common, rare, epic, legendary - all that jazz. Higher rarity means better damage. Plus each level has card spawns, where you can add (buy) a random card for your current campaign. However. You're kind of glued to one weapon/playstyle type, because of the cards which you put into your deck. That means that any sweet high damage gun is of little use for a melee build. That explosive hammer is fun and joy, but you have invested into a sniper build... Let a sigh out and continue checking other crates and boxes. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3182354876 Sinister Fields of the Defiled Ridden Kingdom Let's talk levels? Act 5 and Act 6 are my favourites. Even though these had the least maps (6 & 5 respectively), I replayed them more. They had more traps, new dangers, cool museum exhibition, pushing the cart with explosives, detonating houses, travelling through tv news building and then surviving fierce onslaught. Don't get me wrong, original campaigns have memorable episodes too: defending a pub with jukebox, firing up a cannon (with a possibility to kill a boss with it!) and that boss fight, which somehow was a lot easier than previous acts. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3173483546 And then there are hidden lairs - ridden hives. Randomly spawning entrances leading to meaty caves with skulls to find (and later trade for cosmetic or cards) and get out alive. Shorter than a usual mission, but fun to explore and shoot hordes within. Back 4 Blood is a nice game, but it might take a long time to grow on you. Certain limitations and game-mechanics will frustrate, so be ready to sharpen pve skills and avoid playing with cross-play.
