Infestation: Survivor Stories 2020 Steam Charts & Stats

Thought this game died years ago... This garbage will riddled with hackers back then. Clearly abanadoned by devs whom I could only assume were using this as a scam.

bought the game,played for roughly 4 hours, got banned. Didnt use any cheats whats so ever. Game is absolute dog shit, Dayz (old dayz epoch, origins) was way better then this. Not even fun, riddled with cheaters out the ass.

The fact that this game is still up surprises me. I feel like it should have died a long time ago due to the hacker "infestation." Only thing I can see is that the devs are actually the ones selling the hacks so they maintained a flow of income from that to keep the servers going. Wouldn't recommend this game to my worst enemy, anyone who still plays it is either cheating or flat out R*tar*ed.

Rating: 4/10 Infestation: The New Beginning, originally released under the name The War Z, attempted to tap into the open-world zombie survival genre but faced numerous setbacks that hinder its potential. The game offers a brutal survival experience where players can lose all their items upon death, which adds intensity but quickly becomes frustrating. However, multiple flaws prevent the game from being enjoyable. What Went Wrong? 🧟‍♂️ Lackluster Gameplay and PvP Focus The game revolves around the survival of players in a zombie-infested world, but it quickly turns into a PvP-focused experience, with players killing each other more often than working together. This leads to a lack of meaningful interaction and creates a hostile, unwelcoming environment​ Safe zones don’t resolve this, as players still camp near them, disrupting the intended balance. 💻 Hacking Issues A huge drawback of Infestation was its hacker problem, with players often exploiting cheats to gain unfair advantages. This led to a highly frustrating experience, especially in competitive PvP zones. Though the developers made some attempts to address this, hackers remained a common issue for quite some time, tainting the overall gameplay​ ⚙️ Server Hopping and Loot Exploits Another problematic feature was the server-hopping mechanic, where players could repeatedly switch between servers to farm loot. This exploit drained any sense of accomplishment from finding items, making it feel more like a grind than a survival challenge​ What Works? 🛠️ Weapon and Item System Infestation does offer a satisfying weapon system, where players can find, use, and even modify a variety of guns and tools. It’s enjoyable to experiment with different loadouts and weapon mods​ 🌍 Large Open World The game boasts a massive map, giving players plenty of room to explore and loot. While this is generally a positive, it’s often undermined by the slow pace of travel and the fear of running into hostile players​ Conclusion Infestation: The New Beginning started with great promise but fell flat due to unresolved issues with cheating, poor mechanics, and frustrating player behavior. While there are a few redeeming aspects like the weapon system and large map, these are ultimately overshadowed by the toxic PvP culture and lack of meaningful survival mechanics. 🔹 Rating: 4/10 – A disappointing experience that doesn't live up to the potential of its genre.
