### 4/5 — Fun

*2017-03-16, version 1.3.31*

This game is a lot of fun to play. It is very addicting. I'm playing this while sick which is kinda ironic haha.

### 5/5 — Constant crashing!!

I constantly crash when ever I play this game! Fix this please! But besides that, it's a good game.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ummmm

*2018-12-22, version 1.3.31*

I like the game but every time I open the game and play it for a couple minutes it completely freezes and I can’t click anything

### 1/5 — Eh

*2018-10-08, version 1.3.31*

I love games like these but I can’t even play it due to extreme lagging.

### 1/5 — AFRICA IS NOT A COUNTY , IT IS A CONTINENT .

*2017-11-21, version 1.3.31*

Please reference the above title of this review. I would give 0 stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Only Facebook

*2016-05-28*

I don't use the social virus known as Facebook. That's just bad development.

### 1/5 — Uninstalled after one game

*2015-08-31, version 1.2.5*

No tutorial. Vague instructions. Too many ads stops to even get a feel for the game. Was winning the continent, had one ad, came back to a game where the continent was cured. In one commercial?! Terrible first impression. I really wanted to,like this game.

### 2/5 — Frustrating save issues

*2023-11-28, version 1.5*

I’ve tried restarting my device multiple times, and when that didn’t work I even reinstalled. I just can’t get UP2 to actually SAVE my completed mission stars. I get to restart every time I open the game again.

That said, the game is fine. I just wish I didn’t have to restart it constantly.

### 2/5 — Africa second largest country?

*2018-09-15, version 1.3.31*

Its a continent!

### 2/5 — One mechanic ruins it

*2017-05-06, version 1.3.31*

I found this game pretty fun at first, but as I progressed it quickly lost that due to the odd inclusion of a game mechanic whereby you have to click a little pop up thing that randomly appears on the map and then disappears like 2 seconds later. This short timespan turns this game into a frustrating piece of crap. Playing on small maps, it's annoying, but fine I guess. However, on large maps... it's so stupid. Playing on Asia, you hear them pop up, but they disappear before you can even find them. And that ruins the game because you can't progress, because for some insane reason the virus won't move to a new area unless you click that little bubble in the 2 seconds if appears. If you miss it, you're screwed. Get rid of that feature and this would probably be a really fun game of trying to upgrade the virus in such a way to take over the whole continent. But with this feature, it's not worth playing at all.

### 3/5 — This is a 5/5 game but your progress will be erased

*2024-10-29, version 1.5*

All was chill till it kept erasing all my progress anytime I restarted the game. Sorry but this is a very honest review. Fix it … this is a very sad reason for this game to fail. It’s perfect otherwise.

### 3/5 — Fun but buggy

*2018-10-02, version 1.3.31*

As of writing this the game is fun but crashes quite a lot

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2020-08-17*

Can be difficult but gets you thinking and very fun to play

### 5/5 — I’m hungry so after I finish writing this imma make some food.

*2020-02-18, version 1.4*

There’s no adds which I appreciate so much. It seems like every single game has adds now or they want you to pay for the add free version and I’ve stopped playing them because of that. It’s a very difficult game but a lot of fun. I’ll end up playing it for hours without realizing it. Highly recommend downloading it.

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2019-02-05, version 1.3.31*

I love this game sooooo much. I’m always playing it.

### 5/5 — Great free game

*2017-12-17, version 1.3.31*

No complaints at the price!

### 5/5 — Music is genius

*2017-09-17, version 1.3.31*

The way the music integrates with the mood and time speed is very clever. It's very immersive with headphones.

### 5/5 — fun pandemic

*2017-09-07, version 1.3.31*

It's a cool game and I like that there are alien world's besides earth. Big worlds do make it hard to click everything because it can be so small.

### 5/5 — UP2

*2017-07-26, version 1.3.31*

Universe Pandemic 2 is the best mobile game EVER!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2017-07-05, version 1.3.31*

Great game.
Detailed.
Complex.
Long progression.
10/10, plus it's free!

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2017-03-31, version 1.3.31*

It's a fun game. Challenging

### 5/5 — ue

*2017-03-23, version 1.3.31*
