Bio Inc. Redemption Critic Reviews

A successful adaptation of an already good mobile game. Heal or kill - Bio Inc. teaches you basic medicine while having fun.

A fast paced taste of life and death that is amazingly infectious.

Bio Inc: Redemption fits in a strange place. It feels like it’d be as welcome on a cell phone as it is on PC, and as a result, it often feels like it doesn’t take advantage of either’s strengths. The campaign’s restrictions create a barrier for casual players, but the sandbox is freeing. Multiplayer is a real highlight, as long as it stays stable. When the crash bugs are ironed out, there’s a lot of fun to be had here, I just wish the difficulty was less of a cliff and more of a curve.

An interesting concept which is let down by the resource system and the repetitive nature of the gameplay.

Once the novelty of being allowed to give someone testicular cancer wears off, it's a rather uninspired affair. Clicking for hours at a time will likely result in carpal tunnel syndrome, which is the price you pay for being such a dreadful sadist. Shame on you.

Bio Inc. Redemption presents us with a confused tone: part of it wants to be taken seriously as a realistic medical simulator, while other parts seem to be trying to get a cynical laugh with out-of-place gore and sound effects. Still, this title is well polished and the gameplay is interesting (save for the Achilles’ heel of a terrible point management mechanic that destroys the immersion and fun). Flaws in both balance and theme could have been overlooked if not for the inclusion of this one unfortunate element.
