Seems like this is DLC for Pathologic 2 (new playable character) being released as a new game for obvious financial reasons. Has anybody ever played these games and have thoughts? I own Pathologic 2 and watched the hbomberguy essay ages ago.
OH HELL YEAH I’M SO HYPED!
Pathologic 2 is my favorite game ever. I’m so unbelievably excited for this! I knew they were working on the Bachelor route, but I didn’t know it would be done next year! That’s awesome!
If you haven’t played Pathologic 2, I can’t recommend it enough! It’s an amazing experience. Extremely rough, of course, but beautiful too. The plot is intricate, the characters are compelling, the town is, I don’t know, I guess I’ll go with alive, which given the setting (plague!) seems like a contradiction, I know. But you can’t just enjoy the setting and chat with the characters and follow the plot, no, you always have to be actively searching for your next meal or nap because you will die if you don’t take care of yourself. And there are lots of things that can kill you. And death hurts, more in this game than in any other I’ve played. But, despite it all, it’s beautiful, I loved walking around the town, thinking about who I’d just talked to, who I was about to talk to next, and all the shit I needed to do that I surely wouldn’t have time to do.
It’s a great game. It’s not an experience everyone will enjoy, but it’s really good and I would highly, highly recommend it! Especially with the Bachelor route coming out next year, it’s a great time to play it!!
