A friend recommended it and I owe them one

A friend recommended it and I owe them one. The Infected leans hard into Action, Cozy, Sim, and that is exactly the part that worked for me. It helps that the premise (The Infected is a sandbox, first-person, open-world survival game. Build bases) actually shows up in the moment-to-moment play. Short sessions work fine here; I rarely lost progress to a bad checkpoint. It runs well on a mid-range rig, though the later areas get busy. I will be back for another run.

I went in with modest expectations and came out genuinely impressed

I went in with modest expectations and came out genuinely impressed. The Action, Cozy, Sim mix is what kept me playing; The Infected knows what it wants to be. On paper it is The Infected is a sandbox, first-person, open-world survival game. Build bases, and for once the game mostly lives up to that. Short sessions work fine here; I rarely lost progress to a bad checkpoint. It runs well on a mid-range rig, though the later areas get busy. Worth it, especially on sale.
