Pathologic 2

Pathologic 2 is one of those rare games that seems to have a clear vision of what it wants to be, and achieves that perfectly. It is a highly immersive tale about a town that suffers a plague, and your attempts to stop it as one of three doctors. The game is difficult, very difficult, as you have to try and save other people while managing your own health and safety. The game expects this and has interesting cut-scenes and mechanics, as well as endings, that play out only when you die. Players who are used to being gods among mortals will hate this game, as you are just a regular person desperately trying to survive a terrible situation. I think that when I realized I loved this game was when the town first realized there was a plague, on the third day. A deep, tolling bell accompanies deep steppe music, and the town itself seems to show the terror and hopelessness that its citizens feel, as they struggle against a random and cruel fate that they have no way to escape from. The art direction, the music, the style, the story, every part of this game is fantastic. It has become one of my all time favorites and I hope that everyone will consider purchasing it.

I like it. It's the story of strong people in a tough situation. A story of responsibility, the will to cleanse your doubts, the power to go on despite the exhaustion and mistakes, the wrongness and incomprehensibility. It's hard, but meaningful. And I am happy to be here. ♦ Good for you.

A game about clashing ideologies and cultures. About love and death, heroism and selfishness. And also about art, videogames, and most importantly about you, the player. Pathologic 2 completely changed my standards when it comes to videogames. I had no clue a game could push me to question myself and my ideals, as well as the world around me, as much as Pathologic 2 did. I finished it more than two months ago, and yet it's still living rent free in my head. It should be noted that Pathologic 2 is not the most accessible of games, and I can totally understand why some people could dislike it. But please, do yourself a favour and give it a try, because if you do like it, you will like it a lot.

This game is peak, art is peak, story is peak, I'm looking forward to Pathlogic 3, which I have no doubt in my mind will be better than the Pathlogic 2 just like Pathlogic 2 is better than 1, you don't need to play the first one. A masterwork of art but be warned, the game is hard but that is an important part of the experience and the opening is enough to hook you, if you are not sure whether you should buy I'd suggest watching the opening of the game on like youtube or something.

I don't mind masochism if the nails on the collar aren't rusty. So, while being demanding toward players, developpers should be demanding toward themselves : the game is poorly optimized and bugged as hell, and I wouldn't mind, for exemple, the lack of savepoints if annoying ctds didn't constantly happened. I regret I can't enjoy the game as it should be.
