The gameplay of Plague Inc. is criticized for its simplicity and lack of challenge, with players feeling that it becomes monotonous due to limited actions and minimal progression. The user interface and some mechanics draw comparisons to other games, but the overall experience suffers from poor mechanics and low replayability.
“Some things such as an opposing force and region-specific mechanics are what make Plague Inc. engaging.”
“The user interface and game mechanics in Plague Inc. offer interesting comparisons to other games.”
“Adding more difficulty to areas beyond the exposure influence mechanic could enhance the gameplay experience.”
“There's no actual challenge, no feeling of progress; the gameplay is stuck at the few actions you do from the start.”
“Simplicity and rather poor mechanics make it quite boring with a limited replayability factor.”
“Furthermore, some difficulty should be added to areas other than the exposure influence mechanic.”

The game offers some replayability through various strategies and achievement goals; however, the lack of depth in its mechanics and a purposeless tech tree significantly diminish this aspect, leading to a somewhat boring experience with limited incentive to replay.
“There is replayability because you can choose different strategies and goals, such as trying to reach the different achievements.”
“But the agenda lacks replayability; it has a 'tech tree' which has no purpose and simplifies the universe it tries to cover to the extent it stops making any sense.”
“Simplicity and rather poor mechanics make it quite boring with a limited replayability factor.”
