Who is MGRza...
Origins of MGR

That is a question that follows each and every one of us throughout our lives, it takes us decades to fully live into who and what we are…. My story though… I am a gamer, this is a title that I can say I obtained from a young age, when the age of gaming was still rather young in South Africa, starting on those cassette “TV Games”, games such as Contra, Battle City and Mario Brothers… “walks down memory lane”… That is where it began for me and that’s how it grew for me, I have played professionally and casually all my life... (Currently more casually for time being), but I do plan on getting back into the Major Leagues. I game on PC, Xbox and PlayStation, I have my preferences of which games I prefer for which platform and I do not mind supporting them all, they all deliver quality and awesome games to us.

The areas I work in are I.T. as either a senior technician, specialist or IT security, with Corrosion Control as my secondary line of work. I believe in learning all you can while you can, knowledge truly is power, as an RPG and Strategy gamer I can attest to that as well.

Gaming has always been a passion and passion for the type of person I am is amplified, I invest everything I have into everything I do… I believe in helping to build our gaming community to higher and better standards, to make it larger than life itself. Reviews are another area I dabble in, sharing my remarks on games, old and new titles, when I find and finally play a title I have never played before, I do my part and write a review for it , to share my take on the game, I do believe in giving credit where credit is due.

In and around everything I do there is a dark theme, that is the inner Goth in me, I’m proud to say that I have been one since before I was a Gamer, I was a Goth before I even knew the word existed, and contrary to popular belief it have made me a better person, more patient with others, more acceptable and understanding of others opinions, whether I share them or not. As an outcast one looks at life and everything that accompanies it differently, there is no rush to make choices or follow paths, so you have the time to see where it will lead and to what, so you have time to re-choose per say, making sure not to blindly follow what others wish you to follow., as for Death that follows me in everything I share and create, another add on to my life that grew with me, a Dark entity to some, a cruel master to others, but a very Dear friend to me that has taught me such valuable lessons in life, and for life reasons and personal connections that I will leave for another conversation, …. I became a Reaper, and as I grew into my life so did my title and here and now today, I am what I am … I am MGR; the Master Grim Reaper…

Plague Inc: Evolved Review

A simulation like no other… You are one of numerous lethal pathogens that exist in the world and your job is to eradicate life on earth…

Some key points that this game offer:
1. Very realistic simulator.
2. Numerous disease types to master and play with
3. Numerous scenarios, varying from Black Plague to Swine Flu.
4. Co-Operative mode where you and a friend can take on the world together.
5. Very realistic world to play in, with real time events and data that is used in game.
6. Multiplayer, instead of going up against the world you and a second player go toe to toe against one another.
7. Incredibly accurate data and information available to track, see and learn how these diseases affect different countries and climates.
8. Content creator, the ability to set up and release your own created scenarios.

Gameplay & Controls:

The game itself is mostly controlled with the mouse, you have the function to use the keyboard controls for shortcuts to speed up time, or slow it down, or zoom in and out. There are several keyboard options available for you to make use of.

Pausing the game, saving and exiting, the functions are there, the game itself is a simulator where you make use of the mouse to pop bubbles, and in the upgrade menu to better your disease.

Graphics:

The graphics are very decently put together. The world map is static to a point with the continents staying put, as they get infected and the infections spread. The worse it gets the worse the infection shows in the game. As the game time moves so do the ships and aeroplanes that travel from country to country, the cloud patterns can also be seen moving in different directions as one would see in wind currents. In the upgrade or disease panel where you can see information regarding your current disease, they created breathtakingly beautiful 3D models that takes you much closer than ever before.

As your disease is upgraded via how it spreads, infects or as it becomes more lethal you can see how your disease evolves and gets more intense. This can be properly viewed in the disease screen, then on the world screen you can see details regarding each country. The number of infected people, healthy and dead, along with other key important details.

Sounds:

The sounds for the game are very pleasant and it changes as your gameplay goes. A song most of us grew up hearing or even singing accompanies our game, “Ring around the' Roses” can be heard from time to time in the background as your game time moves forward. The game has numerous sound effects specially attributed to unique scenarios and single player disease matches. Other sounds such as ambulances and police sirens can be heard throughout game play with a few other sounds they have added to make your gaming experience unique.

Replayability:

This game will keep you busy for hundreds of hours, it only stops when you have had enough, and there is plenty to do. Starting off would be the different scenarios themselves each having their own criteria of how to complete, replaying the same mission is almost never the same. There is a very pleasant RNG factor in the game, and that is further developed by how you do things in the game. How you choose to start your disease, how you evolve it in terms of spreading and infecting, they all play a factor to how your current mission will play out.

There are numerous different abilities for the genetic code that can be unlocked by winning scenarios, with each win unlocking a new ability to make use of. The game offers 4 difficulty levels. Casual where it is the easiest to infect people moving to Normal with some increased counters to make infections and detections harder, then to Brutal further increasing those counters and adding some extra parameters to the difficulty mode and finally Mega Brutal bringing those counters to a compulsory level making it even harder to get your virus out and taking down the world.

There will be plenty to do and redo until you master the ways of the Plagues, the game offers various achievements tied to specific combo’s which can be obtained easily enough by evolving specific transmissions.

MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
Spoilers Ahead:

This is a different type of game and an even different simulator; it is not something we have experienced before. This game offers so much more than just a simulator, it has an impressive strategy element to it. You need to understand your disease, the country you choose to start it in. You then need to understand how the infection will work, what to improve on getting people infected as fast as possible while staying under the WHO radar.

The more deadly you become the faster the world tries to cure you; strategy plays a big element in this game. That is not all; you can also expect a very decent RPG effect. You need to know and carefully choose to spend your DNA points on how to increase your disease’s transmission capabilities, the symptoms and then its base abilities and resistances. There are numerous options to go with, a few will work but they have to be the right combination to see yourself to victory so both strategy and RPG will play a role here.

The game offers a lot of missions for you to complete along with several unique ones that you will love the moment you lay your eyes on them, such as making your own Planet of the Apes scenario. When you have had your fill of single player you can go multiplayer in a nice co-op game destroying the world with a friend, or you can go toe to toe with them destroying them.
