Fans of the Left 4 Dead franchise have spent the last few days in blissful ecstasy enjoying Back 4 Blood. Turtle Rock Studio's spiritual successor to the multiplayer zombie shooter is Left 4 Dead 3 in all but name, and gamers around the world have been having a whale of a time getting stuck into the closed Alpha.
Everything you might have expected or wanted from a sequel to the classic Valve/Turtle Rock franchise is on display, and it seems like it'll only get better as the studio continues to work on the game ahead of the full release. There are massive zombie hordes, plenty of different types of weapons, co-op FPS gameplay, and some absolutely massive undead beasts that players need to work together to take down. You could slap Left 4 Dead 3 on the box and nobody would bat an eyelid.
