*insert obligatory Corona gag here*

This will be another short review, as I can't say much about the Plague Inc.-soundtrack. It fits on a certificate of unfitness for work, which is probably due to the fact that the game was originally released as a mobile app. The aim is to wipe out humanity with a virus, which can be quite tricky thanks to Greenland. The track list is correspondingly straightforward: composers and developers Joshua Kaplan and Marius Masalar have pulled just nine songs out of their brains.

They correspond to the expected: Dark synth sounds waft around, such as in the, in my opinion, best track "All in Your Head". This brings back memories of classics such as the early Command & Conquer-games Tiberian Sun and the Firestorm expansion. In addition, the tracks are interspersed with sound effects such as the constant pinging of an ECG or snippets of conversations, which would usually annoy me (unless there is a clean version), but here it at least breaks up the monotony of the constant pulsing, so it's fine.

If you're still looking for some ambient music for your pen-and-paper evening, a short horror movie or a slightly different baby shower, this is for you. For connoisseurs, which my illustrious readership undoubtedly consists of, there is no secret tip hidden here. For those who would now like to say: "Of course with a mobile game", I would just like to briefly remind you of Angry Birds . Or the Gameboy classics like Tetris.
