Pathologic 3

This game had big shoes to fill from its predecessor, and while it sadly does not manage to fill them, it still proved to be a unique and compelling experience (especially now that many of the launch bugs are fixed).

A game destined to be a cult classic. Never have I found myself so invested in a world and it's mysteries. It's opening premise is incredibly interesting, providing short term and long term challenges perfectly designed to keep this game interesting to the very end. While the gameplay is middling, with not much interesting happening in infected or hostile zone, I have the feeling that this was an active choice made, as the game serves as a backdrop for the deeper story. The opening act provides an incredible introduction to the game and it's mechanics, teaching the user that mystery is the heart of this game, and you are going to have to fight tooth and nail to uncover the secrets of the town. The game is able to stay consistently fresh with mysteries providing more questions than answers, all the while your priorities slowly shift in managing the town, it's not long before you stay for the town itself rather than the headline mystery. The characters portrayed in this game are unlike any other. Each with deep philosophical views which are constantly tested and challenged over many crisis's. A notable "character" I'd like to mention is the tragedian. This "character" serves more as a plot device, displaying your active progress with some characters while also advising the player on their next move. Their signature bell toll which accompanies their presence does nothing but create despair every time I hear it, especially when it is unexpected. While the game consists of 12 days, I have only reached day 10. So far I am adoring the game, even with it's punishing attitude to mistakes, particularly with certain resources. The game does have a few pain points, with bugs that can halt story progression that require you to mess around in the console for a while to fix, however it's clear the developers are actively working on fixing these Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates a good mystery, along with deep lore. This incredibly unique game may also appeal to those looking for a novel experience unlike any other. I haven't played a game like it and I feel I never will again. I wouldn't however recommend this game to somebody expecting an action horror / thriller, this game is very much a slow burn which paces itself masterfully. I should note however I have not played any of the other games though I have been aware of the series for quite some time.

Прекрасный триллер с колоритными персонажами

И так что можно сказать о Pathologic 3? Первое и самое главное- Pathologic 2 был намного намного лучше. Очень сильно намудрили и усложнили всё что только можно усложнить. В иной раз просто не понятно в какой день прыгать и что там делать в принципе. Да и самого того ощущения выживания в городе на Горхоне уже нет. И тем не менее интересно. К примеру обследование пациентов- сделано неплохо. Стоит ли играть? Если не пробовали Pathologic 2 пройдите сначала его, зайдёт- покупайте этот. Если же нет то не стоит тк эта часть слабее предыдущий (во всяком случае как по мне). Ну а ежели вы фанат этой вселенной то смысл вообще читать обзоры- бегом играть)
