An interesting idea, very reminded of the good old resident evil, the graphics are beautiful, especially liked the first level, a beautiful night city. As I understood, the game just came out and is in early access, so for the time being I will not write cons, I will wait for its continuation. The only thing I ask the developers to pay attention to the effects in the bunker, very tired eyes. I put 7/10 infected with …

In this video I take a look at EBOLA a first person horror game. This game is quite impressive but your mostly in tunnels and rooms with most areas blocked until you find access cards. Despite the limited scope it's quite a good game with mystery, shooting, NPC's, and even a puzzle to find the main doors code. I enjoyed the combat aspect as well, having to draw out the infected to deal with them safely while trying …

Now, its hard to say if i can recommend this game. This is my first "review" ever and this game made me want to write one. I wanted to like this game, I really did, and I do but its so poorly optimized that my beast of a computer can barely push out 5FPS in the underground area. I tried everything to make it manageable but in the end of all the personal "fixes", i had to stop. Its early access, yes I know that and …

this guy pushes out his games like they are turds...and in fact they are. turns out this is the 5th game from this "developer" i have played by now. you would think over time you would see at least some improvements with what he is doing but guess what? nope! this guy couldn't create a halfway decent game even if his life depended on it. this time it's a game named after a plague and in fact that's exactly what you …

My first jump scare came after the game crashed every 30 seconds until I read you have to block several of its .exes in your firewall to make it not crash. There's no multiplayer so presumably it's trying to phone home with your credit card numbers. My second big scare came when noticing my GPU temperatures rocketing into the 80s every time I looked at bright red lights! That's a new one. And truly horrifying as …

35% of the 72 Steam reviewers we collected recommend EBOLA. The complaint that keeps coming up: poor optimization causing low FPS and crashes. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

The game doesn't have any sound options and is probably outputting the sound through a device I don't want it to and therefor can't hear it and there's no setting to change it. Unplayable

This is anti-science sabotage, endangering lives for ideological posturing. We need research, not conspiracy-driven policy that weakens global preparedness.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Missing optimization makes this game pretty much unplayable from area two (the sewers, about two minutes into the game). This just isn't acceptable for any game with a price tag. The game had better stayed in Early Access longer at a vastly reduced price. There's no way I can recommend a game with code that's in an Alpha stadium. Too bad, as this really shows promise. Note: I checked the game options (lowering settings doesn't help much) and looked for useable configuration files in the game's…
