Between its stellar card augmentations, excellent campaign, and jovial tone that creeps into every facet of its design, Back 4 Blood puts some exciting new spins on a familiar genre. Its flippant difficulty spikes and unbalanced versus mode prove not ever...

A gorgeous visual and audio feast, Core Left 4 Dead formula still alive and well, Addictive gameplay, Vast replayability, Card + loot systems provide new depth
Doesn't offer anything new, Repetition will not be for everyone, Friendly AI not very helpful
Back 4 Blood is the co-op zombie game to beat - scarily addictive, blood-soaked fun that you'll find hard to put down. It may not offer anything new, but it is a helluva good game that proves just how far ahead of its time Left 4 Dead truly was...
Excellent map and mission design, Satisfying gunplay, Engaging gameplay loop, Deck building and Corruption Cards mechanics add welcome replay value
Predictable story, Unbalanced difficulty, Horrible AI, Limited features for solo play
Back 4 Blood isn't Left 4 Dead, and it doesn't even try to be it, doing away with the classics' straightforward campaign in favor of a more modern experience that rewards progression and offers plenty of replayability. The excellent map and mission design...

Fantastic co-op gameplay, B-Movie brilliance, Card system adds strategy
Bots are infuriating, Solo play isn't enjoyable, PvP mode underwhelms
Back 4 Blood is brilliant, co-op fun, with an interesting card system, but it's marred by terrible bots, awkward solo campaign choices, and a lackluster PvP mode...

Abstract: Initially I was aghast at the confusing mess Back4Blood laid in front of me. It's a game stacked with so many bells and whistles that it wouldn't look out of place in Rio's Carnaval. The whole thing felt like a massive overcomplication of Left4Dead's simp...

Great gunplay,Smart card system,Looks nice
Missing a touch of atmosphere,Systems can be unclear at start
Playing co-op in Back 4 Blood is a throwback pleasure, with great gunplay and loads of fun to be had, but it's the modern touches that make it really impressive. A cleverly designed deck system means that you have control over elements of your runs, openi...
