  • gameplay95 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is often compared to "Plague Inc." but is noted for its deeper mechanics and strategic elements, allowing players to balance between causing diseases and improving patient health. While the game features engaging visuals and a variety of challenges, some players find the core mechanics repetitive and simplistic, leading to a lack of long-term interest. Overall, it offers a mix of fun and frustration, with potential for improvement as it continues to develop.

    • “Easy to understand mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay is gripping and really puts you on the spot to cure (or kill) your patient.”
    • “Decent replayability and gameplay loop - there are multiple difficulties and each scenario is different enough to hold your interest; you gain experience after each game and can unlock bonuses for future ones.”
    • “My biggest complaint is that there doesn't seem to be an in-depth explanation of the mechanics of the game that goes beyond what they tell you in the tutorial.”
    • “The collection mechanic in the game just detracts from the overall experience to a point I can't enjoy it.”
    • “But the real problem is the illogical gameplay, which makes the game simply unplayable!”
  • graphics55 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many users praising their beauty, creativity, and detail. However, some players have reported issues with lag and crashes at higher settings, suggesting that while the visuals are impressive, optimization could be improved. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's appeal, enhancing the engaging gameplay experience.

    • “The graphics are beautiful too... very creative... get it you'll love it.”
    • “The graphics are very good, and even though all the action takes place looking at a person- you see all the systems and them functioning/malfunctioning in real time and it looks great!”
    • “Stunning visuals, the gameplay mechanics, the outcomes and variety of stages will definitely make you stay for a while!”
    • “The graphics lag out sometimes, especially at the end of the patient lifestyle animations.”
    • “Very educational and well-made game, except the graphics are very laggy.”
    • “This game is good; however, I keep experiencing a crash that freezes all my visual graphics while the audio still plays.”
  • story39 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized, with many users stating that it lacks a coherent narrative, often feeling more like a series of gameplay challenges than a traditional story-driven experience. Some players mention the potential for a more engaging story mode, suggesting that the game could benefit from narrative elements that allow for character development or thematic depth, such as playing as a doctor or a grim reaper. Overall, the consensus is that while the gameplay offers variety and challenges, the story is minimal or non-existent.

    • “The whole game is a story.”
    • “You can play both as the disease (death) and the doctor team; there are campaigns for either side where missions have slightly different conditions.”
    • “This game features two sides of the same 'story', so to speak.”
    • “☑️ this game has no story”
    • “no story, just gameplay”
    • “- no story.”
  • replayability20 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed, with some players praising its multiplayer options and varied gameplay that encourages repeated play, while others note a decline in interest over time due to bugs and a lack of new content. Many find it enjoyable enough to return to after a break, especially with different difficulty levels and unlockable bonuses, but some express concerns about potential repetitiveness and diminishing engagement.

    • “The fact that this game supports online play, and thus you can play with a friend as either a mouse or a cat in this cat-and-mouse scenario, leads to additional replayability.”
    • “Decent replayability and gameplay loop - there are multiple difficulties and each scenario is different enough to hold your interest; you gain experience after each game and can unlock bonuses for future ones.”
    • “There's so much depth and replay value!”
    • “However, the bugs, lack of replayability and new content, and the fact that the developers don't seem like they're going to change any of the things above anytime soon, I think that you should get this game with the expectation that you'll probably play it for a couple of days to a week, then get bored of it.”
    • “Although it's very interesting, such a difficult game advancement will make this game repetitive and it will quickly lose its replay value.”
    • “I'm sure there's replay value, but I'm not likely to finish all these levels.”
  • music14 mentions

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players praising its exhilarating and tense qualities that enhance the gameplay experience. While some users find the soundtrack enjoyable and fitting, others feel it could be improved by allowing players to choose their own tracks. Overall, the audio complements the game's atmosphere, though opinions on its effectiveness vary.

    • “It's a really good cat-and-mouse game of detective, and mixed in with the visual design and exhilarating music, rounds can feel extremely hectic, especially by the end.”
    • “Everything about this game is awesome - the graphics, the music, the gameplay, is addictive and amazingly fun.”
    • “Fantastic and tense music.”
    • “Sound effects and music are okay - I muted both quickly in favor of Spotify.”

    • “Let us choose the song for the scenario!”
  • stability12 mentions

    The game's stability is a mixed bag, with many users reporting frequent bugs and crashes, particularly in later levels and certain modes. While some players experience smooth gameplay and minimal issues, others face significant freezing and glitches that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game is still in early access, and while it can be enjoyable, the instability remains a notable concern.

    • “Gameplay is smooth, bug-free, and can prove to be challenging.”
    • “Runs great for me; it seems they fixed whatever was causing crashes for some (although I never experienced any crashing).”
    • “Bio Inc: Redemption is still in early access, so there are some bugs that can occur, such as the game occasionally freezing. However, this does not detract from the gameplay experience overall, and the bugs are infrequent enough that most of the time I have spent on the game has been bug-free.”
    • “About halfway through, I click on resource upgrade and the screen looks like it's about to load and freezes.”
    • “Fun game, but very buggy and crashes 80% of the time.”
    • “This game is good; however, I keep experiencing a crash that freezes all my visual graphics. My audio still plays, but the only feature it will allow my mouse to do is move and scroll, not click on what I believe are the buttons or collect the bio-points.”
  • humor9 mentions

    The game is praised for its humor, featuring amusing elements like the "wheel of stds" and clever achievements that resonate with players' comedic tastes. While the humor is consistently entertaining, some reviewers suggest that improvements in animations and campaign elements could enhance the overall experience.

    • “Plus the name Easter egg is hilarious.”
    • “Hehe, funny biology game go brr.”
  • grinding8 mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be extensive and time-consuming, often requiring significant effort to progress, likening it to needing a "second life" to manage it.

Overall, the grinding is seen as a necessary but burdensome part of the gameplay experience.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Requires grinding for new missions.”
    • “There are a couple of problems, but note that these are very minor and most are just issues that I think the devs overlooked, making otherwise engaging scenarios trivially easy but also painfully tedious.”
  • optimization5 mentions

    The game's optimization is marred by various bugs and performance issues, particularly on lower-end systems, but it generally runs smoothly. While players appreciate the interconnected campaigns and ongoing updates for the mobile version, graphical glitches and softlocks detract from the overall experience. Improvements in performance and resource distribution are needed for a more polished gameplay experience.

    • “The two campaigns (life and death) are interconnected in many ways, meaning that learning the mechanics in one will lead to a better understanding and performance in the other.”
    • “It can be slightly glitchy at times but it runs smoothly otherwise!”
    • “The game is quite good; however, performance could be improved and more biopoints could be given throughout the game.”
    • “When you look past the bugs (soft locks, windowed but fullscreen mode, resolution problems with mouse position) and the glaring performance issues on anything that's not a rocket, the game is really good.”
    • “The mobile game still gets optimization updates, while this game can have graphical issues (like the patient getting high then having sex mid-animation causes the rest of the mission to be unplayable).”
  • emotional2 mentions

    Players highlight the game's emotional depth, noting its impact on personal well-being and self-care, particularly in relation to themes of identity and mental health. The emotional narrative resonates strongly, prompting introspection and a desire for self-improvement.

While acknowledging it as a ported mobile game, players note that it functions well without the need for microtransactions.

    • “12$ as of today is a bit much. If you want to go ahead, maybe wait until there's a sale for it, or get the mobile version which is free. Ads can be ignored if you just turn Wi-Fi off.”
    • “I know it's a ported mobile game, but the game functions fine without mobile ads and microtransactions.”
