More people are currently playing Left 4 Dead 2 on Steam than the recently released Back 4 Blood. This is curious as Back 4 Blood is a spiritual successor to the Left 4 Dead series; it was developed by the original creators and features many similar mechanics to the classic Valve co-op shooter. There have been plenty of "Left 4 Dead-likes" announced over the past year including Redfall, The Anacrusis, and Aliens: Fireteam Elite, but Back 4 Blood was perhaps the most anticipated because of the reputation behind its studio.
