Contagion

its dead no one is playing it do not buy it

Will I still play this game post review? Possibly, that being said after having this game for a decade+ I only have 7.4 hours as of this review if that's any indication. This CAN be a fun game, and I recall getting this game back near release (2013), but my god this game can be brutal. Think of L4D2 except you have a wonky phone that gives you no information (sometimes you run around for ages trying to find what the phone is telling you to do) and on some campaign maps, they can be an hour or two long, and if everyone dies, guess what, you have to start ALL OVER again, no checkpoints in this game so it can be insanely brutal, no revives for dead teammates either. The game can be insanely hard and brutal, and also very boring and very minimal information on what the actual objective is. If you're trying to play the game solo, don't even try, if you don't have friends, I wouldn't recommend it at all, it's extremely dead and abandoned. For the time it was a very cool somewhat different take on zombie games with the phone and unique challenges, but it just doesn't hold up, there's so much to be fixed, and as one of the top reviews said, without a co-op experience with at least 2 oth…

yes

I'd describe it as something between Left 4 Dead & Payday mixed with some F.E.A.R and Cry Of Fear. Lets start with the pros: -The lineup of weapons and tools is diverse and full of solid sidegrades and usefull items with minimal bloat or reskins. My favorite item is the crossbow with retrievable ammo but slow reload. -Similarly to Payday & some extent Left 4 Dead, every round is unique with variations like randomized starting loadout, reandom spawn location, random loot and enemies though key items, level layout & objectives do not change that much. -No plot armor. Once you're infected, you're infected and have to play Guess Who against the survivors using features like zombie blending to act like a NPC in hope they will let their guard down. -The maps and settings look really good & are well optimized. -The free comic included with the game is a nice addition. Cons: -Movement is slow and sluggish. It would be more fun to have unlimited sprint with maybe the downside of sprinting having a 25% chance of alerting a horde every 30 second and some zombies sprinting faster. -Sometimes the game will play your own footsteps sounds even when standing still or even with no nearby zo…
