Best and worst game ever made.
Pathologic is honestly one of the best and one of the worst games that I have had the good fortune and the misfortune to play. For the good, the atmosphere is top notch. The game draws you into the bizare world of a nameless town on the Steppe in Russia, roughly a thousand miles from anywhere else, a unique fusion of early twentieth century and steppe culture. The soundtrack is eerie, and the whole town manages to feel very distinctly wrong, although with no clear reason why. The story is fascinating, and I will say nothing about it here, go experience it for yourself. It's a very unique and memorable game, that I cannot reccomend highly enough. However, it is also a broken and barely finshed mess. The game will probably top out around 80-100 hours if you play all three characters, and the atmosphere can carry you maybe halfway through a playthrough before it starts to get really really dreary. You cannot run, and combat is a broken and barely functional mess of almost nonexistent player hit detection and enemy hit detection which almost never misses. The game is utterly terrible at telling you where you are supposed to be going or what you are supposed to be doing, to the point where I ended up playing through most of it with a walkthrough open on my phone to even know where to go. You can literally lock yourself out of progressing by picking the wrong dialouge options, and having characters clam up and refuse to speak to you. The Survival mechanics, which should be a core part of the game are very easy to break by farming muggers for cash (If you can survive their homing missile knife attack) or by simply finding a gun and murdering looters, at least until the gun's durability goes down and suddenly it has the effectiveness of a water pistol. Due to horrible broken design I cannot reccomend. See my issue here... I was entranced by the story, but hated the part where it actually had to be a game. So I both Highly reccomend and urge you to keep away.
