It’s effectively stylish in its presentation.īut probably best of all, what we gathered from playing Back 4 Blood’s beta is that your team of misfit horde-blasters is nowhere near as riddled with verbal diarrhoea as they appeared to be in trailers when the game was first released. Of course, visually, it’s a huge step up from 2009’s Left 4 Dead 2, but then that’s mostly because time happened.Īll the same, Back 4 Blood enjoys a moody, muted palette that helps the brief flashes of colour – blood coating your gun, the flash of a Ridden’s eyes – pop all the more. New mechanics are thrown in, like the card system (see box, opposite), and your team of survivors is, this time around, less about running for their lives and more about taking on missions to help what’s left of humanity get the upper hand. But even at an early stage, it’s clear that Back 4 Blood offers an exciting, tense, and balanced series of co-operative missions pitting your squad of four against hundreds of onrushing zombies.
It won’t win many awards for originality, and it could never honestly be described as unique.
