Back 4 Blood is a fine game I guess. It's fun sometimes but honestly at the end of the day Left 4 Dead 2 is still better to me. Back 4 Blood has its moments such as the bar with licensed music, and the first ogre tunnel set-piece are pretty cool, but the levels never hit the consistent brilliance that is Left 4 Dead's level design.

Special Infected spawn way too often and way too many at a time. They only spawn in clusters together, effectively making them a dps check instead of a teamwork check. It does not feel fair a lot of the time with so many of them spawning together.

The story is garbage. Nobody should bother listening to it, and just have fun with the levels. Hoffman is cool because he has a good voice actor but the rest of the characters are pretty boring, especially compared to Left 4 Dead. I think they should have limited it to four characters so that the relationships between each one could be better realised.

I finished the game but I don't think I'm going to play it anymore. Left 4 Dead is just a better game in my opinion, and it has mod support so I don't have to finish 250 levels for a skin or whatever the number was.

Basically just buy it on sale if you're a big left 4 dead fan. $20 is all that this game is worth in my opinion, at least in the current state.
