Unique, challenging and breath-taking game, managed to complete it only on my third attempt. Game is really well balanced, but be aware, that this piece of art is really good at making you feel precisely, what being in a plague infected city feels like. For those, who is afraid of horror games, like myself, there are no really screamers or moments full of horror, which will scary you a lot, it's rather atmosphere of the mystery and plague, so nothing really to afraid of, except of the plague and darkness of the night. And for those, who doesn't like shooters of fighting games - I made it to the end of the game without any fire gun and tried to minimize attacking other people, and in fact, this really game forces you to think twice before you make any risky decisions. I liked how they managed to combine dialogue-based game with survival mechanics. Dialogues are not extremely heavy, but you'll have to read them, in order to understand the story and get interested in it. I also liked a lot, that in this game, city and it's citizens, houses, are not just there for decoration - you will have to interact with them and this interaction is based on essential survival mechanics, and you will appreciate and even miss it, when luxury of interacting with somebody won't be available to you. Everything is alive in the Pathologic 2, and reacts to you, your actions and can impact your live significantly. Characters are made with precision and details, they have soul, and you do get attached to them, and probably, you'll remember some of them, long after you've completed the game. Also, failure is not always something bad. Be aware of that, when you play this game. And don't give up. Portion of fresh air in my gaming soul. I was under great feelings after finishing this game. I hope they're going to manage to complete other two parts of the story and make Linux port, but I will remember this game and recommend it to you.
