This games atmosphere engulfs you.Tabbing out crashes my whole game.Single player with bots didn’t work well for me either, as they often got stuck and didn’t follow through the maps, so…Right click on the game then go to [b]Properties->Controller->Override for Contagion[/b] set to [b]Disable Steam Input[/b] [h3]Review[/h3] The game is fun, but…Why it fits
Good if you want strong atmosphere, solo play, or co-op. It blends tense action-adventure play with strong atmosphere and options for both single-player and co-op.
Who might skip it
Skip it if you want a very polished experience or dislike technical roughness and unclear onboarding.
