Infection: Humanity's Last Gasp
One action per region per turn, and that math turns brutal fast. A tight containment puzzle whose 37% Steam score comes from players who wanted a strategy game instead.
GamerScout Verdict
For puzzle-strategy players who enjoy optimising a single constrained action per turn, not for anyone wanting a real pandemic sim.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Infection: Humanity's Last Gasp
One action per region per turn. That single rule is the entire game, and it reframes everything you do: you are not managing a pandemic, you are solving a scheduling problem where every quarantine you place is a research tick you did not buy, and every lab you fund is a province you let burn. Build order matters more here than in games fifty times its size, because there is no economy to grow your way out of a bad opening. Turn-based, resource-light, single-player, released in 2016 on PC and short enough to finish a campaign in an evening. What frustrates the crowd (37% positive across a small review pool) is fair: the UI is bare, the tutorial teaches the buttons but not the arithmetic behind them, and the AI infection spread reads as pattern-memorisation rather than a real opponent, so a loss often means restart-and-replay rather than adapt. No mods, no depth beyond the one hook. But if you treat it as a puzzle box with a punishing difficulty curve, the constraint is genuinely clever.
