Dogsh*t or a gem? Here are 4 reasons not to buy/play Back 4 Blood: 1. The game won't receive any new updates. The developers posted a "goodbye" statement on Feb 2nd, 2023, in which they wrote that their work on B4B had come to an end and they had moved on to the next project. 2. Multiplayer is almost dead. Even if you can find a few occasional campaign partners, other game modes are completely dead. 3. Questionable design choices: - No key mapping for the flashlight. - No server list for multiplayer. - The multiplayer and singleplayer experiences differ drastically. Playing the game in singleplayer is so much easier that it eliminates the need to play it in multiplayer and team up with other players, even for the hardest difficulty. 4. Performance is not great. The game usually runs smoothly, but sometimes, closer to the end of a level, I was getting ungodly frame drops out of nowhere, which could end my No Hope run in seconds. If you have a high-end PC, however, you have nothing to worry about. If you're still here :D, here are the reasons why I leave a positive review: 1. I believe the amount of hate this game received is undeserved. Marketing Back 4 Blood as a Left 4 Dead successor did it no favors, as it attracted thousands of Left 4 Dead supremacist hyenas that started mauling and gnawing B4B for everything that makes it different from Left 4 Dead. 2. I fell in love with the gameplay. It is dynamic, fast-paced, and sometimes unforgiving, but ultimately, extremely fun. If you don't expect it to be Left 4 Dead and just want a fun zombie shooter, you won't be disappointed. 3. I consider the card system to be a nice addition. You don't see this mechanic often in shooters, but in B4B, it is well done and adds an additional layer of complexity. 4. The game looks amazing. Even on medium graphics settings, the game looks pretty. On high-end PCs, the visual aspect is incredible.

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.
