Lovin Games Weekly – You should be playing Back 4 Blood this weekend

Rory Cashin

It’ll only be available to play this weekend… for now.

Another week, another round up of all things games!

GAME OF THE WEEK

Back 4 Blood

While we usually talk about games that available to buy right now, we had the opportunity to play an early beta of Back 4 Blood and we fully recommend it.

A four-player online-multiplayer zombie shooter in the style of Left 4 Dead, you’re dropped into the middle of an undead apocalypse and complete different tasks, all while holding back the hordes, or attempting to stealth by them completely.

The open beta will be available to play from 12 to 16 August, and the full game will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and PC on 12 October.

BIG NEWS OF THE WEEK

The Amiga 500 is coming back as a mini-console
