Contagion Reviews
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.

You should abandon your thoughts on buying this like how Monochrome abandoned their game, seriously.
It's an absolute slog fest, near constant soft-locks, and crashes lots on both new and old(er) hardware,
(Played on both RX5700 XT with AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and EVGA 1080Ti with Intel Core i5-12600KF)
Tabbing out will break the game 75% of the time and either give you a blackscreen, or just freeze your pc entirely,
force terminating the process in task manager rarely ever worked.
(this only happened if done multiple times during a single level, lets say, looking for a guide, even when using steam overlay!)
There is no rewarding or good sense of progress whatsoever, you beat an overly dragged out mission and are just
put into another one where you get no hints on what to do, no narrative or storytelling, no character development, no cutscenes, nothing.
Spend 20 minutes to an hour (or more) till the next one, and repeat until you beat the game or get tired of it.
Remember where you drop your key items (Fuses, Keycards, Boltcutters, Torch, ESPECIALLY KEYS, they're damn near invisible) - they will either blend in with the ground if it's dark
- or just spawn elsewhere near where you last dropped it, which isn't said anywhere, so you'll end up finding the item you dropped for a good 10-ish minutes after you lose it and see it on a random barrel or in the middle of some doorway.
After struggling with some missions you might think:
"oh phew, I'm surely getting there, that sucked! This really is an apocalypse. Hope the next ones good! Maybe I'll get some better guns"
And then you'll be saying that for every mission again and again, then the game ends.
The game is 100% dead, good luck getting into any game.
Have fun trying to get this wreck to work with friends.
I don't think I liked a single level in this game, the worst ones I remember are:
- The bridge level where you enter a warehouse (+30 zombies spawn and horde around you, and you need those BS keycards)
- Train level, my god was it bad, even on normal mode. Managed to speedrun it but it has bad RNG elements
- Mansion (Easily the worst one, felt like this one was made purely to have people play for a long time)
- The Neighborhood (Very confusing layout and you get no hints on where to go, everywhere looks the same)
- Sewers (Just really dark and made no sense level design wise, GGs if you get lost in there)
Gunplay, gore and some voice acting was cool, but that's all positives I can think of.
Also, not as important but good to note:
Devs promised Linux and Mac support when the game came out (2013) but nothing ever came of it.
And to that one single guy who was working on this after the devs said fuck it;
go make money working for someone who appreciates what you do. these guys fucking suck.
Don't waste your money on this crap. Nuff said

Эх, эпоха ушла, сейчас более лучший опыт можно получить в No room in hell 2.
А тут всего онлайна 3-5 человека на один-два сервера и как-то между этими сервами прыгать и играть)) В своё время мод Zombie Panic был огонь.
Разрабы выросли и сделали Contagion, играл уже меньше. Так как была потеряна атмосфера барикадирования! Но свой фан тоже был.
Игра была огонь, но сейчас не рекомендую!

I love the cooperative element (or you can play alone). The maps keep changing so it's consistently a fresh experience. I highly recommend.

I don't know man.. Haven't played the game for ages but I remember having fun with it when I first got it.
Devs keep updating this after all these years, worthy of a thumbs up!

Nearly 12 years after release and I'm finding myself constantly getting stuck on random bits of geometry.
