Oof. I guess that makes 2 games from former Left 4 Dead devs that kind of suck.

Back4blood doesn’t suck, but it did really take a while for the game to be tuned at the harder difficulties. It’s a solid upgrade over l4d2 in every way, but doesn’t benefit from nostalgia goggles. I wish it had l4d vs mode and mod support, but I still put in a hundred hours or so (haven’t checked dlc) which is pretty reasonable value.
The problem with back4blood is that it’s good: not great.

Yes the issue with these L4D clones is that they have to improve upon the L4D formula, or have an interesting take on it. Vermintide and Payday succeeded on their own merits even though the core gameplay loop is very close (and it took each of them two games to get there).
I have tried both Back 4 Blood and the Anacrusis (in early access), and was pretty much over them after a couple of rounds.
