Really fun Mobile game

A great game. A real headscratcher and the kind of thing you will want to come back to time and time again. The graphics are also a massive improvement over the mobile version and makes it seem like a whole new game. The mere nature of this game will create a real feel of terror without jumping at you; watching the world crumble and die at your actions is both cause for celebration and solemn reflection. 9.5/10 Fantastic.

OH MY CTHULU!!This game it's just AWSOME!!

One of the better purchases I have ever made. Bought it so long ago, and it is still being patched and having new content added.

No expansions. No DLC. Just free content updates/additions.

Oh and the base game was plenty of fun on it's own!

Plague Inc Evolved is a strategy game about creating and evolving a disease that will infect and ultimately destroy the whole world. Upon discovering your disease, scientists of the world will attempt to cure it.

Breakdown:

Great things:

-This is the biggest pro in my opinion: there is something for everyone here. It is a great casual experience for people who aren't big strategy gamers. My friend who claims to dislike "map games" loves this game. Hardcore strategy gamers and fans of the genre will also find fun here. I, for example, play tons of 4X and grand strategy games, and I love this one as well. The harder difficulties and scenarios (custom and official) can provide great challenges and interesting strategical situations.

-Fantastic difficulty curve. The game is very easy to learn, and provides a fun challenge to master it at the hardest difficulties. The jump from Brutal to Mega Brutal is pretty big, but that gap can be filled by harder plagues or scenarios. The game never has to feel too easy or too difficult.

Good things:

-Good variety with the main plagues, official scenarios and custom scenarios. I will say that the "normal" plagues (bacteria, fungus, parasite, and prion) all feel very similar to each other, but even with that in mind, there is still a good amount of variety in the main game. Some of the official scenarios are very interesting, and can provide a large or small shake-up to your normal strategy. However, I will say a large portion of the scenarios don't feel all that different from the main game or each other, which is why I put this under "good things" instead of "great things." But there are so many scenarios, you will definitely find something interesting.

-Custom scenarios are great. The game allows community members to create their own scenarios and customize the world, events, and the plague itself to create a unique experience. When you start to get a bit bored of the normal stuff, there are basically ENDLESS custom scenarios to play. True, not ALL custom scenarios are good, but custom scenarios are produced so often, that is is viable to only have to play really good ones. And the editor is very intuitive and explains everything very well, so it easy and quite to fun to create your own custom scenario. I rank this as "good" instead of "great" because the editor doesn't provide THAT much variety, and (last time I checked) TRULY unique plagues like the Necroa virus and the Neurax worm, cannot be created in the editor. Granted, they would be difficult to create, but many communities have dedicated creators who put time and effort into creating cool content for the game, and I have no reason to believe this one is any different. Anyway, you may feel that none or few of the custom scenarios feel meaningfully different from anything else.

-Clean and intuitive UI. You will never be befuddled by this game's UI. It is not over-complicated, while still providing all the information you might ever want. As well, it looks very nice, and has some nice aesthetic but not distracting touches, such as a cool picture of your pathogen, and what an infected body might look like.

-Concept: It is a very cool and interesting concept to manufacture a plague to infect and kill the whole world. The only other game I know of that has a similar concept is Pandemic, but Plague Inc has much more depth I would say.

-Sound effects are pretty cool and fit the theme of the game rather well. There are enough to feel satisfying, but not so many that you get annoyed.

Okay things:

-Main graphics on the map are pretty good, if simple. You can zoom in quite far and see some detail. However, you would never want to do this, as there is never a reason to not look at the whole map, as you might miss something, so you might get a little tired of looking at the same thing all the time (besides the UI screens), although admittedly it is satifying to see everything slowly turn red!

-Music is a bit lacking, but not bad. The main "music" creates the feel the game is going for, and is mostly ambient noises. I'm not sure if actual music would fit this game well, but nevertheless, I cannot rate the sound here as "good." It is a short loop, and there is not much to it, but since it is just ambient, it won't annoy you, I wouldn't recommend muting it.

-Multiplayer is pretty meh. There are two multiplayer modes: Co-op and competitive, which I really like. They are pretty different, so I will start with Co-op.
-Co-op mode involves two players controlling separate plagues on the same map, and they can work on separate regions, or the same, and they can buff each other. However, multiplayer seems to function very differently than singleplayer with changed mechanics, and yet the game doesn't seem to tell you this, so we floundered a lot in this mode, despite both being very good at the singleplayer modes. Even when we won, most of the time, one of the plagues got eliminated early on and the other one did all the work. Also, pop-ups don't seem to appear as much in multiplayer, so I had my plague 50% cured without even noticing that the cure started.
-Competitive is fine, but it feels like a race, like we might as well just play singleplayer and see who wins first. Interactions are limited to several evolutions that can "sabotage" the other player. Some of these are very major and can change the whole game, but usually the other player will just do the same to you, as they are pretty much forced to, so it still feels like a race, just under different conditions. Also, the victory conditions are changed a bit: you don't have to kill everyone, just infect everyone, which is a big negative for me, as it feels like half the game is just missing. You can also win if the other plague is eliminated. As mentioned, you can sabotage the other player, but this victory condition almost always feels like you won because the other player messed up, and not because you did well, so can be a bit unsatisfying. I have mostly mentioned negative things, but that's not to say that multiplayer isn't fun. It is still Plague Inc, and all the previously mentioned positives still apply, it just isn't quite as fun as the singleplayer mode for me. However, big disclaimer: I don't have many friends who play this game, so I haven't actually played that many multiplayer games, so my opinion on them might improve as I come to understand them a bit better.

Bad Things:

-This game's only real con is that it can get a bit repetitive, but that can be a big con.
-The game lacks any real variety in its events, and doesn't have that many to start with, so there is very little variety created by in-game events, and even the ones that do happen seem to barely affect anything in the game.
-For many of the plagues, the EXACT same strategy can be used, and it can feel very repetitive. However, this isn't a huge con, as many of the more unique plagues and scenarios can change it up quite a bit, but it will still feel prevalent as you try out different things.

-This is sort of a subset of the repetitiveness, but it is the biggest issue for me: Most of the symptoms feel the same. There are many symptoms in the game, but for most plagues, they consist of: Increases infection rate, increase death rate, or slow down cure research. Different tiers of symptoms will do this at different levels, but still feel the same. It can be fun to think about how people are affected by the actual symptoms you are adding, but from an actual gameplay perspective, many feel exactly the same.

OVERALL RATING: 8/10 - Worth buying at full price.

The pros heavily outweigh the cons, and you will definitely get some fun from this game.

This review went way longer than I intended, but hopefully it was helpful to you!

A game with more depth than you'd think

Je n'aime pas trop ce jeu, mais a vrai dire je l'ai pris pour ce s mods loufoque, car pour moi certain principe sont pour moi dérangant sinon autrement l'ésprit tordu (MLG) des Mods me font sourrire.

its alright

I still don't really understand the nuances of this game, but nothing makes you feel better than destroying the world with diarhea and vomiting. Buy it on sale though.
