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.
Thanks to its extraordinary aesthetic choices and its endless variety of roleplaying approaches, combined with the depth and exquisite wickedness of survival mechanics, Pathologic 2 is confirmed as an original, atypical, dreamlike, violent and masochistic experience.
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.
Like an experimental art house film re-shot to more fully realize its original creative vision using modern technology and techniques, Pathologic 2 brings the tense, enigmatic streets of Town-on-Gorkhon to life like the original never quite could. It iterates and adds on top of what once was to great effect in nearly all but one particularly baffling area, and any gamer with a penchant for single-player games with a strong narrative focus should play through Pathologic 2 at least once for the one-of-a-kind experience that only it provides.
Original Pathologic was way too early to the “sandbox survival” boom, now its years too late. As for story – it’s basically the same: rich in ideas and lore, but very poorly written. [Issue#239, p.60]
An interesting narrative and eerie ambience are present, but frustratingly tedious survival features, poor combat, and performance issues plague the title.

Başta ne yapılacağını ve bu kasvetli ortamlarda nasıl hayatta kalacağımı ve kimlere güveneceğimi bilemediğim bir kasabadan zamanla içinde nefes aldığım ve yer şaşırıp yer yer korkup zor tercihler yaptığım bir yuvaya dönüştü. kesinlikle tekrar tekrar oynanması gerekilen inanılmaz geniş bir hikayeye sahip bir oyundu. Benzerlerini aramaya başladım.

From a town where at first I didn't know what to do, how to survive in these bleak environments and who to trust, it turned into a home in which I breathed and made difficult choices, sometimes surprised and sometimes scared. it was a game with an incredibly wide story that definitely needed to be played over and over again. I started looking for similar ones.

Imagine you have a friend who gets you your dream job. At your job while you are putting the finishing touches of your greatest project, the culmination of your interests and ability, you get a call from your friend saying they're about to killed and to drop everything and rush over and save them. You do so and go to their house and find the place empty. You go back to your job only to find your friend smashing your project to pieces. Then, to add insult to injury, they berate you for leaving your project unattended. That's what this game is.
I like the doctor simulation aspect of this game. It's fun collecting herbs to make ingredients, rushing over to the patient's house, dodging the infected and gang members along the way, figuring out which medicine they need to increase their chances of survival, looting abandoned houses for money and supplies to upgrade your gear, and bartering with the townsfolk with the junk you loot for other junk you need, all while keeping your five survival meters filled. I wish that had been the entire game. What I don't like is when the game tells you to cross the entire map to complete some vague goal before a time limit is up, while doing everything it can to destroy your survival meters. Unfortunately that makes up most of the gameplay and is why I am in no rush to play this game again, while I would like to play the doctor stuff again, getting to it is a deal breaker. It's only intersting the first time when you don't know the story.
thank you Felipe Ramos for showing me this game and making it very clear that it's really not for anyone to play, I just felt bad because during the whole game there just isn't a moment of Cheers/joy/fun/entertainment
Another boring walk simulator. You look at wired crap and think up pretentious themes for the wired crap then preform fellatio of your self for making yourself feel so smart. Complete dweeb **** game.
SummaryPathologic 2 is an Open World Survival Horror game where you fight against a devastating plague. As the only sane medic around, save the town before it's fully consumed.
