So is this a Left 4 Dead sequel or not? Let’s find out
It’s what many consider the continuation of the Left 4 Dead franchise, a title that has millions of fans all over the world, pretty much on every single platform out there. And on paper, Back 4 Blood certainly sounds intriguing. It’s a co-op first-person shooter that comes with a cooperative campaign mode, competitive multiplayer support, and what Turtle Rock describes as “extreme replayability.” But let’s just take a look at each of these claims and see how everything actually feels when you get to try them out. First and foremost, let’s set a few things clear. Left 4 Dead fans certainly know what to expect, but on the other hand, I’ve seen plenty of people claiming this title has nothing to do with Back 4 Blood. Well, it kind of does, and while comparing the two may not be the easiest thing to do, there’s no doubt those who previously played Left 4 Dead would feel familiar when launching Back 4 Blood. After all, even Turtle Rock mentions Left 4 Dead in the description of its new game, so really now, trying to see the similarities between the two simply happens naturally. But we won’t do that because of a little thing that would better fit a conclusion: Back 4 Dead is an insane title that you’ll absolutely love if you’re into post-apocalyptic first-person shooters. Built with cooperative gameplay in mind, Back 4 Dead had me starring at the graphics on several occasions, and there’s no doubt the PlayStation 5 brings its very own contribution to the whole thing. The level of details is impressive, to say the least, and if you play the game at night with a proper set of headphones, you’ll love them even more. It feels like a work of art that you can barely find these days, and again, there may be moments when you could end up ignoring the hordes of zombies coming after you and your comrades simply because you’re sitting right there admiring the graphics.
