Contagion : Puzzle Version Of L4D?

Feedback :)

Graphics are very good considering it was built on the source engine, obviously with some tweaks. My fps went through the roof running a 2500K @ 4.2 with a non OC 750. That was everything at mas running at 1080. So no problem at all maintaining a good FPS.

Gameplay is quite reminiscent of L4D etc, the game modes are basically escape, hunt PvP and rescue and hold..

The scape map through the Police station is the pick of the bunch for me, very atmospheric, the first time playing through on single player reminded me of the first few releases of Dayz before it became mainstream. The tension is there, the noises and the randomness of the situation to a certain extent are the same.

The rescue missions are very well done for COOP, team play and using voice is a must to be able to hold out until your are rescued with your NPCs that you have rescued. All houses etc that I have tried are all enter-able, so plenty of options for different gameplay each time you play.

Hunt mode is PvP, basically last man standing is the winner. With the twist that when you die, you become a Z and can attack other live players, use you roar to call a zombie horde for mass munching :)

All in all, a recommended purchase.

Hmmm, only tried rescue a couple of times and have yet to find any house, except the survivors house, that is usable! I have found an open garage or two but not a single door to any house would open, making it very difficult to survive.

Escape is very, very good. And they seemed to tweak it with the release day patch as there is now even less ammo and weaponry in the start area. It does need more maps though and fast, IMHO!

PVP mode is very good fun, with short rounds and you never sit out as you respawn as a zombie. I do think the player zombies need improving - you can't grab a live player without full stamina and you can't catch anyone up without sprinting, using up your stamina. You have to be very lucky to catch a player. Still, great fun :)
 
pretty decent for a 1 hour playthrough this morning.

Played a couple of games of extraction last night and it was really good fun. Quite confusing in parts as the in game help/cues really aren't great but it definitely has a lot of potential.
 
I have read good things about this, then I noticed this thread. I will buy tonight so if anyone wants a game from about 8.30 onwards tonight add me via steam steam name is Cool Hand Luke.
 
I'm really impressed with it. £11.99 for what is going to be a superb game and playing with friends makes it a seriously great game.
 
How are people finding it after having some time to play it? I know initial reactions seems very positive but that can often be the case with a new purchase :p .

Also since this is on early access is there a list anywhere of planned features or whats missing?
 
where did you get the idea its a cooperative puzzle game?
finding keys is hardly a puzzle,its no diferent from l4d,just diferent zombie behaviour.
