Yep, the sequel to one of your favourite turn-based, dungeon-crawler RPGs is out at the end of this month. (It’s not dark, because they’re already dead). There are zombies to kill, and I am more than happy to kill them. It wasn’t perfect when we played it a few months back – the PvP was far from inspiring, and the lack of a versus campaign mode did garner a few groans – but I’m still excited to get back out there. The weighty guns, the variety in enemies, the card buffs: there’s enough new bits and bobs in here to make Back 4 Blood feel like more than just a shinier version of the old game. With three friends alongside you, the PvE campaign seems like a right good time, and – importantly – the Left 4 Dead aficionados on staff had a hankering for more after playing it. Then I played the beta with a few members of the RPS treehouse and I began mapping out future character builds. How much is it? £50/€60/$60/£0.00 with Xbox Game Pass For PCĮmptying clips into the undead wasn’t a regular pastime of mine growing up, so I wasn’t really bothered when Back 4 Blood was announced. Where can I get it? Steam | Epic Games Store We’ll get to see what other tweaks have been made – if any – when the game launches early this month. The biggest one is probably that your character progression is tied to the gear and weapons you have, rather than a skill tree. There’s a gun that shoots CD-Rs of the Macarena and an alligator that’ll attack enemies on your command: that doesn’t scream Emotions to me. While it would be a pleasant surprise, I’m not expecting Far Cry 6 to lean on subtlety in its story that sees you join a guerrilla uprising. If the dictator of Cuba-inspired Yara (TV’s Giancarlo Esposito) wants to spit monologues at me in between missions that have me torching fields with a flamethrower, I’m game. Some people have grown tired of culling cassowaries to upgrade their school bag, and others find getting trigger happy in outposts full of ill-advised men and women doesn't hit the same as it once did. Where can I get it? Epic Games Store | Ubisoft Store
