Left 4 Dead

I'm just going to do a short review for this one, as though I did appreciate some of what I saw in "Left 4 Dead" it's really not the game for me.

A decade after its release, I was playing "Left 4 Dead" using backward compatibility through my Xbox One. I played through all of the first story campaign (through the town to the hospital) in single player mode and gave up when I couldn't last long enough for the helicopter to arrive on the roof. I had a couple of goes, but I'm afraid my gaming time isn't sufficient that I can afford to get stuck for an extended period of time and not make any progress. I know the game is designed to be played by four human players together, and I'm sure that if I had that option it would have been easier to progress, but I don't really enjoy online play, either co-operative or competitive.

Gunplay and level design was good. Graphically it's starting to show its age a bit but that is to be expected. I'm sure there's much to admire with "Left 4 Dead" but it's not for me.

This game walked so its sequel could run! Don't get me wrong, this is still an enjoyable game, but its sequel surpassed it in every way imaginable!

The story follows four pill addicts hallucinating the zombie apocalypse as they stumble around shooting people.

I joined a match. I got pounced by a hunter. My team ran away. Never has a game been more appropriately named. 10/10 would die alone again.

Pros: Single & Online Co-op, Funny, Excellent graphics, Nice darky atmosphere, Challenging, Achievements, Masterpiece

Cons: Lots of vomits in yo face.

Addictive single player, co-op, and multiplayer action gameplay from the makers of Counter-Strike and Half-Life

Versus Mode lets you compete four-on-four with friends, playing as a human trying to get rescued, or as a zombie boss monster that will stop at nothing to destroy them.

See how long you and your friends can hold out against the infected horde in the new Survival Mode

An advanced AI director dynamically creates intense and unique experiences every time the game is played 20 maps, 10 weapons and unlimited possibilities in four sprawling "movies"

Matchmaking, stats, rankings, and awards system drive collaborative play

Designer's Commentary allows gamers to go "behind the scenes" of the game.

This game is very simple and easy to pick up. A great introduction to the left 4 dead series and very funny at times

Overall the game is amazing and everyone with a steam account should buy it.

This is an epic, atmospheric, and fun game that ended up being my favorite shooter game. The special infected are a fantastic addition to the game! Still, l4d2 is way better, as it exceeds expectations in every way imaginable. The second l4d is my favorite video game of all time.
