My Thoughts
First and foremost, I’m the Community Manager for The Infected. I run the social media accounts (Discord, Twitter, Steam) along with the Steam forums, etc. I’ve been doing this since end of August, 2020. So I’m not going to go crazy singing the praises of the game so I’m not accused of BIAASSSS. The Infected is a solid choice to pick up if you enjoy the survival genre. Unlike many survival games, there’s a large amount of customization that can be accomplished via the menu settings to tweak the game into your preferred setup. You can even turn off the hostile vambie AI. Players praise the building, but not everyone is a fan of the complexity of the crafting system. An easy YAY from me though.
