From the name itself to its basic structure, it may as well be called Left 4 Dead 3. While not a reboot per se, Back 4 Blood, a new multiplayer zombie game made by Left 4 Dead’s original developers Turtle Rock Studios, is not trying to deny its roots.

Often, in trying to catch up, too much is forced in at once, alienating the player while betraying the original look and feel of a game.

It’s always interesting to see how a rebooted series adapts to new conventions after a long absence from the games scene.
