![]() ![]() It felt weird to play a Left 4 Dead-like without Bill Overbeak and company spearheading missions that felt all too familiar, and despite the addition of character traits, I found Back 4 Blood a little unnecessary.īut from what little we've seen from John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, even without the Bon Jovi track, the Halloween director's roots in campy yet garish 80s horror are already elevating zombie horde shooters by a mile. It doesn't help that it took itself a bit too seriously at times, never fully leaning into the chaotic joy of razing zombies to the ground in favor of simply reskinning a classic. The "spiritual sibling" of Left 4 Dead rather than an all-out remake, it offered a lick of fresh blood-spattered paint to a game that didn't really need one. One of the reasons Back 4 Blood lost its luster so soon is that it didn't break any new ground. But could it finally have a worthy challenger? Left 4 Dead 2 is still the undisputed darling when it comes to horde FPS games and zombie slayage.
