Plague Inc.

Review

At first glance, Plague Inc. might seem like a scary game. It is, after all, a strategy game about the end of the world. But it's not all doom and gloom. In this game, you are a disease - and your goal is to wipe out the entire human population. You start with a small infection in a single country, but you'll soon be rolling through the entire world.

Gameplay

The gameplay is simple enough, but also deep: you'll have a screen full of world statistics, and you'll be able to choose which country to infect, how to infect it, and how to spread. The game is also surprisingly realistic: you'll have to infect people who are immune to your disease, and you'll have to keep your disease in check. But the most interesting mechanic is that you can create a vaccine for your disease - and that's where the strategy comes in. You'll have to infect the world before a cure is invented, and you'll have to go to war with the world's armies.

Graphics

The graphics are simple, but very effective. The game manages to convey the sense of urgency and danger that it's going for, and the game's simple interface makes it easy to keep track of what you're doing.

Information about replayability

The gameplay is deep enough that you'll have to play multiple times to see everything that the game has to offer, but once you've played through it a time or two, you'll have seen everything.

Conclusion

I'd recommend this game to anyone who's looking for an interesting strategy game that's a bit different from the norm - or anyone who's at all interested in the subject matter.
