I’ve played some bizarre games in my time, but *Pathogenic* takes the cake, or maybe the petri dish. You’re a parasite, and your mission is to wreak havoc on a human body. It’s like *Resident Evil* but with more biology and less of the whole “trying to survive” part. Honestly, I think it’s brilliant.
The tier list for parasites is where the real fun begins. You start with a couple of choices, but as you progress, you unlock more. It’s like leveling up in an RPG, except instead of a sword, you’ve got DNA. You can pick from S-tier to B-tier parasites, which is basically the gaming equivalent of sorting your friends into the Hogwarts houses.
“Every parasite has its own unique set of abilities that will largely shape how your run evolves.”
Let’s dive into the S-tier. The Amoeba is the star here. It requires 20% less DNA to level up, which is significant. Think of it as a cheat code, but without the need to type anything awkwardly on a controller. If you want to zoom through the game, this is your pick.
Then there’s the Helminth. This one’s all about defense. It can block attacks, which is great unless you’re trying to strafe. It’s like using a shield in *Zelda* but having to stand still while doing it. You’ll need some practice to master its movement, but once you do, it’s a solid choice.
Moving on to A-tier, the Bacterium is your go-to for beginners. It’s balanced, which means it won’t leave you out to dry. It’s like the vanilla ice cream of parasites: dependable but perhaps not the most exciting option. The Lil Collector is also here, offering a 20% shop discount. Just watch out for walls; it has a tendency to get stuck. It’s the kid in the group project who does great work but can’t find the classroom.
And then there’s the Fungal Spore, which can have a lot of organelle slots but can’t rotate. So, it’s a bit like a car with a great stereo but no steering wheel. The Diatom is a fun co-op experience, provided you have a buddy who knows what they’re doing. It’s like playing *Overcooked* but with less yelling—if that’s even possible.
As for the Nanobot, it’s still locked for me. It’s like that elusive character in a fighting game that everyone talks about but no one can seem to unlock. Once I get my hands on it, I’ll update my tier list, but for now, it’s shrouded in mystery.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for a game where you can play as a parasite and cause chaos, *Pathogenic* is where it’s at. Whether you want to be the speedy Amoeba or the defensive Helminth, there’s a parasite for every playstyle. Just remember, in this game, being a parasite isn’t just about survival; it’s about thriving. Think of it as a metaphor for life.
