Pathologic 2
Description
Pathologic 2 is a narrative-driven dramatic thriller about fighting a deadly outbreak in a secluded rural town. The town is dying. Face the realities of a collapsing society as you make difficult choices in seemingly lose-lose situations. The plague isn’t just a disease. You can’t save everyone.
The plague is devouring the town. The chief local healer is dead, and you are now to take his place. You’ll have to look for unexpected allies. The local kids are hiding something. Try playing by their rules.
You only have 12 days.
- 12 days in an odd town ravaged by a deadly disease.
- Time is of the essence: if you don’t manage it carefully, it’ll simply run out. You’ll have to choose how to spend the priceless minutes you have.
- Survival thriller. You’ll have to manage your bodily functions, offsetting hunger, thirst, exhaustion, and so on. It doesn’t boil down to scavenging resources. Surviving on your own is hard; you’ll have to win over allies.
- An uphill battle. Managing your bodily parameters may seem bearable at first, and as time goes by, it becomes harder and harder. Your own body is only waiting for an opportunity to give up and betray you. Things are changing from bad to worse and the odds are stacked against you.
- A duel with an enemy you can’t kill. Your main foe is the plague itself, an incorporeal and malevolent entity that you have to defeat… without having the means to. It’s more powerful and more treacherous than you can imagine.
- Loot, murder, mug, steal, barter, beg… or don’t. You need resources to survive, and it’s up to you how to obtain them.
- The fights are short, ungraceful, and vicious. They’re not always lethal though. Many people—yourself included—would prefer to exchange their wallet for their life.

95/100
Pathologic 1 & 2 are masterpieces of games as art. They are cruel and disturbing, but ask unique questions and do things you won't see anywhere else. These are singularly unique experiences that are worth suffering through.

4/5 stars
Playing Pathologic 2 feels like suffering, and it's meant to be that way.

7.5/10
Pathologic 2 is a punishing, twisted game that is burdened by some intentionally poor mechanics that, while interesting to analyse, detract from the game itself

MBBS Simulator in Eastern Europe
Pathologic 2 is a bona fide work of art that rivals Silent Hill 2 and elevates gaming to the masses. This' a densely, fiercely intelligently-written game that's very philosophical in the Eastern European sense and its real meta unlike 'Rick and Morty'. I fell in love with the scary town, the children, my alleged friends and the ethnics & white people trying to live with the sentient plague. Many of the negative reviews of this game are correct this game is jankyAF, poorly optimized in areas, the combat is bad, the story isn't complete but cut into 3 separate games (in development) and the ending is so pretentious its equivalent to a 'muh intellectual' sniffing his own farts whilst condescendingly explaining his interpretation of Stoicism. This game isn't for everyone but I believe everyone should try it.

Strange and Tough but Rewarding
A very fun game which pulls no punches but immerses you in a facinating atmosphere and forces you to make tough choices.
