since the game is abandoned it's no surprise and still way too much if you ask me

Bots are pretty dumb and have a tendency to teleport upstairs if you're downstairs, etc. Still smarter than Left 4 Dead teammate AI, if not the same.

Get it if you want. Pretty hard to be upset at a $12-$20 purchase with as much content as Back 4 Blood has.

Just got it today myself. Had a surprising amount of fun, but then again, due to listening to all the negative criticism, my expectations were pretty much lower than the sea floor. If that's where you're starting, you probably won't be disappointed, but then again I don't know your budget. Save your money if this is the only thing you can afford.

Bots have really good aim but terrible positioning. The more you play, the more you will figure out how to get them to do what you want. They are suitable for the hardest difficulty (No Hope) once you master bot behavior.

I have never failed to find other players in quickplay, but starting your own campaign it's likely you'll run into that problem.

The only other mode (ignoring PvP) is Trials of the Worm (might be DLC 3 only though) which you can crank up the difficulty ridiculously high if you wish to be challenged to that degree. DLC has added a good amount of content. Tala in DLC 3 is a really handy character to have in your runs (free special chest that gets you really good stuff early in runs).

B4B has been abandoned which is unfortunate since the game is relatively new compared to a lot of titles out there.

You play through the mission looking for cards that buff you, dmg, utility what have you. Guns and consumables to fight the hordes and special variant monsters, it's extremely linear, going through the missions you get stronger weapons, attachments, more cards and try to finish the "run", 1 campaign is like 10 missions you gotta do in the specific order. Game play is just run and gun or hold chokes on higher difficulty while there's a incoming zombie horde timer you have to consider. It's pretty fun in coop but online in higher difficulty is a nightmare because people come unprepared so you need to be able to carry a lot of weight.
Waste of money. It's so abandoned that I don't think even the devs themselves remembered it until the chance to discount it and grab a few more bucks came. It's honestly funny that offers for this game are still a thing.

B4B over WWZ anyday, both games are abandoned ignore what everyone else is saying, if you have 1 more friend who plays you can beat the game on nightmare at the very least (playing nightmare unlocks ZWAT and is a challenging difficulty but not near as bad as it used to be). I will point out that nightmare is not that hard I 2 man it with a friend consistently and we havnt wiped in a few campaign comlpetions (yes meaning we beat it without wiping and restarting its not that hard, but a lot of fun)

WWZ if you just want Horde mode as B4B does not have a Horde mode because they developed Trials of the Worm for a tiny minority of players instead, big brain move.

B4B if you want some rogue lite while shooting zombies in well crafted apocalypse with lots to learn and grind, a less linear grind than WWZ. I've done both. WWZ got me about ~500 hours, I'm about to load into B4B going onto my ~1170th hour.

If you have friends to play coop, this game is far superior than wwz. If you just want solo or pub match experience go pick wwz.

This game require a proper party with strategy, it is a "coop" game, so if you just want to play solo, avoid.

Bots take 50% reduced damage. Cannot take permanent damage. Can use healing stations for free without expending charges that players can use. Have infinite ammo. Drop ammo for you if you need it. Heal you for free at random intervals. Have really good aim. Have infinite grenades/molotovs/pipebombs on a cooldown. Give you all their money at the end of a level to spend. Have pretty decent all-rounder cards.

They're better than you in almost every conceivable way, and preferable to 90% of players, and that's being generous. They're monstrously overtuned to make up for their crappy positioning, since the AI also breaks sometimes, stop moving, don't shoot, etc. When they break it can be really, really bad, or just annoying, but you won't have issues if you run with only bots, provided you can aim well, or just use a melee build.

Oh, yeah, and they don't take damage from acid or fire. Nor do they move out of it, since it's a non-threat to them.

Lastly, you don't need them with you to close the saferoom door, they can sleep outside, and it counts as a full team closing the door, so you won't have issues with that incase they get stuck somewhere.

definitely "Back 4 Blood" here, which I actually find to be pretty fun

Thank you all for your replies i will keep in mind all the things and details you all said i will ended up playing solo cause my friend like other games and mostly obsessed with dota 2 and such so i have to rely on match making or playing alone.
Thanks again and have a nice day

WWZ all the way, doesnt matter if solo or with friends, at least WWZ will entertain you. B4B it's ok if you suffer from insomnia and need something to sleep, then B4B is your game xD

I'd probably get B4B if discount was 90% now. Mb in the winter sales it will be. I hope it'll be rly dirt cheap, especially if they don't release anymore fixes/updates till then.
