User reviews & Ratings

Back 4 Blood is visually great and the gunplay feels modern. But the problem is, it doesn’t understand what made Left 4 Dead 2 unforgettable. Left 4 Dead 2 is simple yet satisfying. Just pick a gun, survive the chaos, work together, move to the safe room. Back 4 Blood added too many systems that made the experience feel like a chore. Cards, builds, supply points, grinding. And instead of focusing on pure teamwork and unpredictable panic moments, they turned it into a meta progression shooter. The zombies also don’t feel as iconic or scary as the Special Infected we faced in Left 4 Dead 2. The AI Director in Back 4 Blood often feels scripted, while Left 4 Dead 2’s chaos felt natural and unexpected. Many Left 4 Dead 2 players wanted a modern spiritual sequel, but what we got felt like a live service game forced to be “more complicated” than it needed to be. In the end, Back 4 Blood is not a BAD game, but it never captured the soul and simplicity that made Left 4 Dead 2 legendary, which is why a lot of Left 4 Dead 2 players hated it and went back to the classic. If you’re a big Left 4 Dead 2 fan, you might miss the classic feel, but Back 4 Blood is still worth trying if you want a fresh take on co-op zombie action. Just don’t expect it to be exactly like Left 4 Dead 2. It’s different, but still fun in its own way.

Surprising pretty awesome =D I didn't buy this game b4 because I read many bad reviews and I thought it was a mediocre game but guess what? Isn't , I highly recommend if you love the classic & legendary L4D and want to play some new gen game of zombies, I'm enjoying playing more Back 4 Blood than World War Z. It has a deck building system which is pretty cool, you can customize weapons and clothes there is so many skins and outfits, '_' also 7 categories of weapons pistols, smgs, shotguns, ars, lmgs, sniper sifles and melee such as wolverine claws ;) with over 30 weapons + 9 legendary ones. I highly recommend this game my friends. Back 4 Blood 10/10 Heisen

It doesn't deserve the hate it gets, actually a good game. Yes, this is not Left 4 Dead 2 nor as they claim to be the "spiritual successor" but don't let that get to your head, as it's own game it's a fun game, very fun with friends, and has a lot of replayability, It's a shame it doesn't have workshop support though.

Do NOT purchase at full price. It regularly goes down to 3.99-7.99CAD. If you want L4D, go play that instead, this is not the spiritual successor people wanted. Now that you've removed the L4D expectation from the game, it's actually really quite an enjoyable game. The gun play is fun, the movement is lively, the graphics are pleasant. It has an almost arcade-y feel to it, but from the comfort of my PC. The deck system in combination with the character abilities allows for different gameplay styles and cohesive team builds. As you increase the difficulty, strategy and teamwork becomes more and more important. The slight RNG of each mission helps replayability, and oh *boy* have I replayed. HOWEVER .... You can see the effort and time allotted decreases in every Act. This is mostly from a No Hope perspective, since I've played far too much to be good for me. -Act 1, well balanced, phenomenally paced progression, everything gets harder as you get stronger, and the difficulty is relatively balanced even at the highest difficulty. -Act 2, overall a little more difficult and significantly shorter, still pretty consistent progression. -Act 3? Even shorter, and in No Hope, we see a pretty out-of-pocket difficulty jump about half-way through the act. -Act 4? What act 4? We do not talk about Act 4. -Act 5 is a steep upwards difficulty spike, and it continues to trend upwards as you work through the act itself. -Act 6? Oh do I have things to say about act 6, but simply put, I love the stage design (dinosaurs!!), but gods, I hope you have the burn cards to keep your continues going, because it is significantly worse than all the previous acts stacked upon each other. And then ... there's the bugs. Most are just annoying or funny visual issues or wanting to 1v1 the bots in the pit. Some are entirely gamebreaking. The one specifically that comes to mind happens upon failing a 'stand your ground' mission in Act 1. Die after you've started the event? It doubles the special spawns for you, since surely that will help (sarcasm). There are also bugs in which you can just stop entire events from happening (spamming Jeff's whistle in an Inner Hive, timing certain hordes with setting off others, etc). There is also the problem that arises with the fact that all the cards for the deck building component need to be grinded out, and the handful of cards and the pity deck you're supplied with in the beginning is not good enough to take into anything above Nightmare, and that relies on you being a good shot. Be prepared to have to grind for a couple acts before you can really build something specific. Other notes from someone who played too much: -The PvP is now non-existent. It was there and honestly pretty fun at the start, so if you have 7 friends you want to set up a game with give it a whirl, but good luck queuing up for it. -Bots are incredibly powerful. If you are having trouble with a part or an act, queue up for a private run and watch them destroy everything. -If you're having trouble and don't want to go the bot route (because you're playing with friends), the more copper you have, the easier the run will be. Everything is for sale from health to random cards to item slots and upgrades. -The combat knife is a noob-trap, I advise removing it from the starter deck. If 4 zombos run at you, combat knife will kill one and 3 will get to hit you. If you punch one, they knock each other back and you won't take that damage. -Max health after a certain point and certain difficulty is also a noob-trap. At higher difficulties, your bar is almost always going to be more than half 'trauma'. The mobility to not get hit in the first place will save you more trouble. -Do not double/triple/quad-melee, unless its for the bit. You will regret it. -Do not the birds. Overall, an incredibly fun game that got overshadowed because it's connection to L4D was blown out of proportion. Really fun, chaotic zombie shooter. A shame it ended the way it did, but it still has hours and hours of gametime for new players.

If you think mocking me with awards hurts my enjoyment of this game or makes me wrong you're mistaken, and honestly you're just helping me buy things from the points shop. Joke's on you, jokers. I have over 200 hours on PS5. It's incredibly annoying that this game has such a bad reputation. There's nothing wrong with it. Some of the level layouts aren't great but it has a lot of replayability and the progression is pretty cool, it allows you to make builds that allow you to have unique playstyles and improve your effectiveness with certain things. If you read pretty much all the negative reviews they can barely even articulate what they don't like about it beyond "It's not Left 4 Dead." No, it's not Left 4 Dead, and using a similar name was a bad call, but it's a solid game that stands up on its own. Grab it with all the DLC on a hefty discount. Don't go in treating it like L4D and you'll probably enjoy yourself.
