![]() ![]() If you have a cheery bunch of zombie-annihilating hobbyists to play with, there's a lot of replayability in this game. Seriously, I ran the same level maybe 30 times, and I genuinely enjoyed every run. Jacob Ridley, Senior Hardware Editor: I've never had as much fun benchmarking a game as I did with Back 4 Blood, and that was in the company of its confused bots. Will Back 4 Blood go on to be as beloved as its predecessors? A co-op zombie game isn't as novel as it was when Left 4 Dead came out in 2008, so probably not, but it's no less impressive that Turtle Rock could return to the genre it created 12 years later and make it better. The first annual pass promises more campaign missions, new cleaners, special infected, and more. I already love that Back 4 Blood is another great co-op shooter to return to with friends every once in a while, but I'm also excited that Turtle Rock seemingly wants Back 4 Blood to be a platform for more campaigns in the future. Consider that Back 4 Blood has crossplay with every platform and has been on Game Pass since day one, and it's one of the easiest recommendations of 2021. It's Left 4 Dead but more, and often better. It always has a new deckbuild to test out, a gun you've barely touched that's surprisingly good, or a nasty combination of Corruption Cards that puts a novel twist on a mission you've done before. I think that speaks to Back 4 Blood's strengths over Left 4 Dead 2: It pushes you to try new things, and it's not only replayable because shooting zombies is fun. It's a major upgrade from the Left 4 Dead days when I'd insta-lock Coach just so I could spam his "Keep your shit tight" line to my friends. Invest in melee cards that restore health or increase speed and Hollie's signature bat can melt zombies quicker than bullets. ![]() Add an upgraded laser sight to Walker's baseline accuracy boost and everything he shoots becomes a laser beam. Turtle Rock chose a smart method to differentiate its roster-every cleaner feels more-or-less the same from the get-go, but their playstyles become more pronounced as you feed them cards or attachments that complement their built-in abilities. I also have to highlight Back 4 Blood's cleaners, an addition that I thought would feel tacked-on to check a hero shooter box.
