Back 4 Blood took the poison chalice with both hands. In one sense, it was a superb idea, picking up where Valve left off and revitalizing the experience of one of the best-loved PC games in history. We all miss Left 4 Dead, and if the company behind Half-Life and Counter-Strike 2 isn't going to keep it alive, well, that's the perfect missed opportunity for a studio like Turtle Rock to capitalize on. On the contrary, as soon as you invite comparisons to Left 4 Dead, you're setting some pretty high expectations. In the last four years, Back 4 Blood has been through a variety of ups and downs. Nevertheless, it's surging on Steam right now and enjoying a reappraisal from recent players. And if you want to try it yourself, it's 90% off.
