Critic Reviews
- Back 4 Blood captures much of what we all loved about Left 4 Dead while updating it with more modern gaming trends that helps keep the content fresh. But it might not be what some are looking for if you're hoping for a direct sequel to Left 4 Dead 2.
John Loeffler · Jun 20, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - So, despite all that, is it Back 4 Blood really worth it? Absolutely! Back 4 Blood is one of those games that you don’t have to particularly worry about grinding, which is incredibly refreshing. Between grinding for in-game currency for dungeon gear in FFXIV, and trying to level up my weapons in Dauntless, it’s nice to have a game I can jump back into with my friends at any point in time and just play. It’s fast-paced, creative, and just all-around good fun.
Emily Byrnes · Feb 16, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It's just a lot of fun blowing Ridden heads off or smashing them with a baseball bat like a watermelon in an anime beach episode. It doesn't really deliver a compelling experience solo – the bots are just a touch too stupid for that – but Back 4 Blood ought to become a multiplayer fixture for the rest of the generation to come.
Stuart Gipp · Jan 11, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Back 4 Blood isn't perfect by any means, but it's absolutely the closest we've gotten to a new Left 4 Dead game in the years since Left 4 Dead 2. Because of this, it's hard not to have fun with B4B, even if it doesn't always feel inventive and has some notable drawbacks. Despite some qualms, if you're hungry for a new co-op shooter to jump into with some friends, Back 4 Blood has more than enough meat on the bone to keep you entertained for quite some time.
Logan Moore · Nov 13, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Back 4 Blood is a great game when played with other people, truly evoking the spirit of Left 4 Dead for a new generation of gamers. This time there’s the incentive of a progression system to keep players coming back, although the Corruption Cards don’t always make those repeated playthroughs as unique as they should.
Rebecca Smith · Nov 01, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Without a doubt, Back 4 Dead is all about the co-op gameplay and mixed with the newly introduced card system. If you combine the two, killing those ugly creatures is extremely fun, though be warned, it’s also extremely challenging as well.
Bogdan Popa · Oct 31, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - At its best, Back 4 Blood offers a ton of variety to keep you and your friends interested for a long time. Even returning to levels you’ve already played gets interesting thanks to different cards, which can make major differences in how things play out. If you have three friends to play the whole game with, I highly recommend it.
Andrew Thornton · Oct 23, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Back 4 Blood offers a standard Campaign mode that can be played multiplayer or alone with bots and a versus mode that allows a team of cleaners to try and survive vs player controlled ridden special monsters. Both modes are fun to play, but one of the highlights of Left 4 Dead was the integration of the two modes.
Terrence Johnson · Oct 21, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - At every turn, Back 4 Blood frantically alludes to its superior predecessor, digging its own grave as it crumbles under the weight of blasé characters and overly complex systems.
David Morgan · Oct 20, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - On its own, Back 4 Blood isn’t a bad zombie game. I can definitely see people enjoying it with friends. However it’s difficult to give a confident recommendation when it offers such a mediocre experience. Should they be able to balance the difficulty a little better, that could be paramount into improving the game.
