PREVIEW: Back 4 Blood proves that even the massacre of zombies can get bored

Although I especially like shorter closed games with a deep story, in the series Left 4 Dead I will not allow it. I drowned tens of hours in both of their works, and I have only the most beautiful memories of massacring zombies with a group of friends.

Back 4 Blood

Similar games, in which you, in cooperation with other players, crawled through a strictly lined campaign, have been rare for a long time, but in recent years there have been so many that we can’t even play them. Unlucky, Back 4 Blood comes out of the moment when, thanks to games like Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Outriders, World War Z or maybe Zombie Army 4 in fact, we don’t even need much. And Evil Dead and Redfall, which look far more interesting, are preparing for us in the near future. Nevertheless, we could not miss the public beta of this shooter.

However, after completing one whole campaign, our impressions are embarrassing. All the above-mentioned games tried to enrich the original concept in some way, but the only benefit of Back 4 Blood is only in nicer graphics. Which, by the way, is perfectly optimized and so it flies in 60 FPS in full detail even on an ordinary GeForce 1060.

This time you can choose from eight heroes, who differ in their special abilities, but these are not fundamental differences, so you will probably choose only according to their appearance. The characters talk and comment on the surrounding situations during the game, but apart from a few hilarious jokes, there is no need to pay attention to their dialogues and definitely don’t expect any exciting story.

Racist zombies?

Zombies are stupid in nature, yet they have been accused of racism by several players. In their undead murmur, it is said that the infamous word from N can sometimes be heard. The developers therefore had to rush immediately to explain that this is just an unfortunate coincidence, which is caused by the unfortunate blending of several audio tracks at once and that it will fix it until the full version is released.
