Contagion isn't your average Zombie Shooter but instead takes a more realistic and different approach to the popular genre with unique characters, environments, weapons, items, and a built in system that makes every round completely unpredictable with resources, objectives, and paths ever changing.

I'm pleased with this purchase. The physics specifically related to moving around feel quite "chunky", as if your character had lead boots on, but other than that, 8/10. Love the different game modes, etc. Only drawback is the lack of servers. I tried to host one on my home pc to no avail. if anyone would take the time to walk me through the finer details i'd be glad to host for free. I don't like mods/cheats either, I just would like to be able to host a vanilla game....

I remember watching Contagion's trailer and how it looked like is was going to be an awesome game. After it released and reviews weren't that favorable, I waited and picked it up in a bundle. Its not a bad game, but the trailer made it look like something more than it is and that's disappointing. I wish it had an actual story as the trailer looked to have. The gameplay is like every other generic FPS except with zombies, but it isn't that good. The controls aren't as responsive as they should be, graphics/animations are just ok and the sounds are well, not that great either. I wish that I could recommend, but Contagion just isn't worth your time or money.

Bought this on a sale due to hype. I wish I hadn't. Get No More Room in Hell, a free mod, this one doesn't do anything that doesn't.

I first played Contagion way back in Early Access, and while it was a decent game then, it definitely needed work. I then went a very long time without playing it, and recently decided to try it out again. I came back not expecting much to have changed. However, it has become a very enjoyable game, with several different and fun gamemodes, splitscreen multiplayer, and steam workshop integration. While I rarely buy games that are not on sale, this is one that I can actually say is worth the full price.

Great game with many Coop and PvP modes. Ammo is scarce, teamplay essential and the atmosphere is often very tense! You can play on public servers or host your own server. Mods allow new maps, weapon skins and other things. It has a lot in common with "No more room in hell" which is good and free but Contagion is a much, much more polished game while "No more room in hell" more feels like a mod.

Review as of 8/11/2016
TL;DR Only recommending if you have friends to play with, otherwise it's boring/dead (no pun intended)

Overview
Contagion is a Zombie survival game with an emphisis on gunplay and spooky areas. The game itself plays very well, and is actually pretty fun. It contains many different modes which I will further go into detail now

Escape
Players must work together to complete all the objectives and escape. Objectives, items, and pathing are random, so each play through is different. Any survivors that lose their life along the way will return as infected and must eliminate the remaining survivors before they complete the objectives and escape. This is esentially the story mode, as there are some events that happen and much of it is scripted.

Hunted
This is a PvP game mode where the last survivor standing is the champion. Supplies are scattered throughout the map randomly. On death, much like Escape, you turn into a zombie with the goal of killing all other players.

Extraction
Players must work together to protect civilians and help them escape once the rescue vehicle arrives. Once you approach the location of the civs, zombies will start hording around the house. You must use the supplies at the location to defend yourselves from the zombies until the rescue vehicle arrives.

Escape is my favorite gamemode because it has the most story!

Pros
  • Creepy atmosphere
  • Fun gunplay (for the weapons that are there)
  • Not too easy (like L4D2)
  • Workshop

Cons
  • Devs abandoned the game
  • Workshop is mostly just phone backgrounds
  • Not many servers with people in them (not dead, but there's just not many people playing)
  • Few weapons
