Verdict

I had a hard time putting Plague Inc down, despite the game’s copious amounts of downtime and bare-bones presentation. It’s exhilarating (in a grim way) to see your rate of infection climb into the billions thanks to perfect planning, and then mutate in killer traits like Pneumonia and Fever to secure the end of human history.
