Back 4 Blood

In 2008, Turtle Rock studios brought a new kind of multiplayer experience to video gaming with Left 4 Dead. You and your friends took control of a group of four survivors and try to navigate a world overflowing with undead in a chaotic first person cooperative campaign. Thirteen years later and Turtle Rock are revisiting the idea with Back 4 Blood. We found that it iterated on the formula nicely in some places, and seems to have lost the plot a bit in others. Additions like the deck management system give character creation a bit more depth, while inattention to the personalities of the Cleaners removes some of the charm present in its predecessors. Overall its a great cooperative experience, so listen in as Bryan, Josh, and Clint talk through their experiences with Back 4 Blood.Three Word Reviews:Bryan - Satisfying Soulless SuccessorJosh - Wrong Lessons LearnedClint - Team Building Exercise
