Pathologic 3

Выдающееся произведение. Игра, из-за которой вы можете словить депрессию не только во время ее прохождения, но и из-за ее окончания (томясь в ожидании выхода Паталоджик 4). Искусно написанные диалоги и интереснейший сюжет с переплетением множества историй отдельных персонажей, которые вам запомнятся. Очень качественно реализована нелинейная подача истории. Разработчики взялись осуществить нереальную задачу - сделать по настоящему ролевую игру, в которой ваш выбор ДЕЙСТВИТЕЛЬНО имеет последствия (а не просто ограничивается плашкой в углу экрана "этот персонаж запомнит"). И это в игре, где осознанное БЕЗДЕЙСТВИЕ тоже считается за ВЫБОР. В игре насчитывается около 250 квестов и большую часть вы можете выполнить несколькими способами. Или не выполнить. Если вы из тех людей, которые в бессонную ночь, лёжа в постельке, мечтают исправить свои ошибки, сделанные в прошлом, — то эта игра для вас. PS: и пусть со всеми хейтерами Паталоджика: "дружеская беседа перерастет сразу в словесную поножовщину, миновав нежный возраст перепалки".

"Pathologic 3 is a non-linear fictional alternative history 1800's roleplaying game about a medical doctor who travels through space and time, to save a town from a deadly plague, potentially uncover the town's supernatural elements and cultures, whilst also trying to discover the secrets of the immortal man, who has miraculously died." IF THAT DOESN’T EVEN INTEREST YOU TO PLAY THE GAME, F*CKING NOTHING WILL! (Okay, I have a games log, in which every game I finish, I write in detail what I thought about it. The log of this game might reach like 10k words so I'll just copy and paste some of it, which gives my general thoughts about it, but spoiler, this is my personal GOTY so far): Pathologic 3. A surprisingly contentious game. As somebody entirely new to the series with only the hbomerguy video referencing Pathologic 1, I REALLY loved this game. HOWEVER, when I watched a video-essay about the game, it really brought out the very troubled and problematic development history that this series has. Essentially Pathologic 2 was supposed to be a…reboot for Pathologic 1? I’m not entirely sure, but it was supposed to include both the bachelor, the changeling, and the haruspex story in ONE game, and release (get this), in TWENTY-NINETEEN. That’s right…SEVEN YEARS AGO! Apparently, the studio became so ambitious, that they decided to leave Pathologic 2 as “The Haruspex Story” and wanted to develop Pathologic 3 for the Bachelor, and Pathologic 4 for the Changeling. And honestly, I can tell. Pathologic 3 is SO ambitious, and clearly contains SO MUCH LOVE, but the development of this game seems like…slightly disorganised and scattered, I CANNOT LIE. This further comes into question when people are saying Pathologic 2 is the MUCH BETTER game, and I come to find out that Pathologic 3 was an unfinished dumpster fire on release, which is really funny, because the very beginning of this log, is going to be talking about the NUMEROUS bugs, exploits and ideas that CLEARLY needed more ironing out. So, this is what I’m going to say, if I love Pathologic 3 as a newcomer, DESPITE ALL OF THESE ISSUES THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED…bro, when I get my hands on Pathologic 2, I might just become a new man. My review of that game might be a picture of me BUSTING everywh-. That’s why I emphasise, AS A NEWCOMER, to this series, because I don’t know how I would feel, if I were a Kickstarter backer and a long-time fan of this series. AS A NEWCOMER, I LOVE Pathologic because of its characters, and its story. There are other aspects I love as well, and will later gush on about, but this game F*CKS. It F*CKS you, and gives you the aftercare you DESERVE, telling you how awesome you are for finishing the experience. Imma play Pathologic 2 after writing this review, so if I LOVE Pathologic 3 THIS MUCH, bro Pathologic 2 might be it.

One of the best narrative experiences I've ever seen in a video game. Yes, the gameplay mechanics are questionable at best. Yes, the technical aspects leave much to be desired. But the narrative gives you something that's so hard to find anywhere else.
