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
