Retour 4 Blood Review – Garish Gore for Four

Left 4 Dead fans can rejoice - Back 4 Blood is really great. This comes with a multitude of problems; That, I can not deny it. But, in the end, the sum of its parties is equivalent to something too good for some faults to waste the party. The latest news from Turtle Rock Studios show that not only is this team always at the top of the genre of zombies, but that it will continue to do so for a very long time.

It s not that Back 4 Blood reinvents the wheel. The truth is that if it was the brilliant paint layer that makes the game as beautiful as one could hope that something will be released in 2021, you would have trouble telling the difference between Back 4 Blood and Left 4 Dead . The premise always turns around a team of four people, hacking, stabbing and pulling through an endless flow of living dead. As you jumble after wave, you are making a method of a safe piece to another, where you will earn a few moments to catch your breath and find your landmarks.

Back 4 Blood begins to differentiate from its predecessors in its use of deck construction mechanisms based on maps. Progressing in the campaign or win games in PVP mode Swarm will bring you resources that can be spent for various bonuses. Many of them go against the cards mentioned above, which will strengthen your character once equipped. Additional points of life and ammunition, faster reload speeds and better modifications are only the visible part of the iceberg, and I appreciate that Back 4 Blood will add modifier cards that work to make things more difficult . In addition, since there is already such a large number of cards with which to play, you will need some time before starting to feel the throes of repetition.

Just as crucial for Back 4 Blood to stay fresh, the fluid shooting game at the call of duty that the developers have adopted. I admit that the two titles of Left 4 Dead have not clicked with me as they did with others. This was largely due to the fact that they felt stirred and slow compared to gender staples. But, Back 4 Blood remedies it not only by nullifying the feeling of gratifying and satisfying shooting game, but delivering it at a constant pace of 60 frames per second. The enemy heads burst, crush and splash with gloriously cried, feeling particularly rewarding thanks to the Dualsense controller of the PS5. Turtle Rock Studios intelligently used the haptic return, guaranteeing that every shot rings as if he resonated in your hand. It s an excellent effect and really helps to create immersion.

Of course, as was the case all these years ago with Left 4 Dead, Back 4 Blood full of problems, some big and other small. The biggest of its problems is that in its current state, solo mode makes no sense. If you choose to play solo, you will not receive refueling points, you will not win trophies / success and you will not unlock the four characters that require a little progression in the story to access it. It is astonishing to think that such a decision could be taken by a team of people with a functional brain, but at the very least, Turtle Rock Studios has already announced that they were trying to correct this error.

Other grievances dot back 4 BLOOD, ranging from minor inconvenience to deep and deeply exasperative problems. The objects require frustrating precision to grasp. Attachments can only be removed if they are replaced by something else. The number of special enemies that appear is ridiculous; There are times when you scratch and scratch to fight three or four extra-powerful enemies, to be greeted by the same group of zombies in the next room.

Then there is the difficulty itself. You will find Back 4 Blood with a traditional easy (classic), medium (survivor) and difficult (nightmare) mode, but the gap between these levels is absolutely ridiculous. Easy could be cake with a team composed of you and your parents. Medium is made for people who live and die for shooters in the first person. And hard is, simply, an abomination.

Still, I can not help thinking that, whatever his current dilemmas, Back 4 Blood still manages to be a good time.

Back 4 Blood is one that I will play for a long time. Turtle Rock Studios is committed to improving the game, both through new contents and fixes. And I hope they will repair most of the wrongs with their latest zombie killer simulator. This may seem light on the content, and you will need a team of people if you want to make real progress, but climb on board now, and you will always be pleasantly surprised to see how much Back 4 Blood can be fun.
