It might sound a little cliched, but it doesn’t feel like five minutes since the last time I previewed Back 4 Blood. In actual fact, it has been eight whole months. It was December 2020 when I jumped into the closed alpha of Turtle Rock’s new co-op zombie blaster, and I’ve been hungry to play more ever since.
What’s really odd is how little has changed. It may be my memory playing tricks, but it wasn’t even particularly rocky before. It was pretty technically proficient for an Alpha. And that hasn’t changed. In fact, aside that this Beta lets us walk around the new hub area and interact with NPCs, it feels very much the same. Frankly, I’m okay with that.
