An extremely fun casual game to pass time. All you need is to select your plague, spend DNA, infect human, kill them all to win in a very presentable and extremely simple HUD and menu. As you progress, you'll unlock more traits and extra plagues and an even harder modes -- more often than not you'll be annoyed with its RNG.

And not all plagues are the same. While two or three may have similar traits and conditions to win, the rest do not. Simian Flu, for example, requires you to micromanage your colonies and plague more, while my favorite Shadow Plague features Vampire to fly around the globe to fight templar and spread diseases at the same time. Honestly I think the default set of plagues are pretty creative and funny, not so funny if you're defeated repeatedly though.

If you're done with the the main game, there's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Scenarios to beat and more can be downloaded from the workshop. You might also want to try co-op with either friends or through Steam's matchmaking service to play with other random people.

Don't forget they recently released a brand new mode as free DLC during pandemic, grab it while you can... and probably you can for a long time since the pandemic is here to stay for a long time.

Overall, this is a very well maintained and developed game I can recommend to everyone. 8.5/10
