Most Anticipated – Back 4 Blood
Diego: Listen, when your entire marketing strategy is to basically call out another game and talk shit, you better be backing it up. Back 4 Blood made no hesitations to compare itself to Left 4 Dead, and failed in practically every regard to top it. The weapons feel like pop guns, the card system wasn’t remotely close to being as interesting as they made it out to be, the campaign is full of recycled levels in the same boring town setting, and the game just flat out wasn’t fun to play. Would I say it’s a bad game? Probably not. But it’s definitely one of the most overwhelmingly mediocre games of the year.
Spencer: I mean, there’s a crowbcat video about it. That’s never a good sign.
