Back 4 Blood introduces enough of its own flair to stand out quite a bit from its decade old predecessor. Special infected, called Ridden in this iteration of post apocalyptic Earth, make their return, with the added addition of bosses as well. Guns and gear are scattered throughout the map and designated safe rooms act as checkpoints. You and three other friends team up in a fully cooperative campaign divided into four acts. The classic formula of Left 4 Dead makes an unsurprising reappearance in Back 4 Blood. Back 4 Blood is the spiritual successor to the beloved, definitive, cooperative zombie shooting experience developed by Turtle Rock Studios, formed by the developers of the original franchise.

Now, the long awaited Left 4 Dead 3 has arrived in the form of a different yet similar name. Since then, the only things that kept the fans going were the countless efforts made by the modding community. It’s been 11 years since Valve released their cult classic Left 4 Dead 2.
