Pathologic is an incredibly interesting game that dares to do things and go places most games, and media in general, are afraid to even mention. You can take on the role of one of three souls; the Bachelor, the Haruspex, or the Changeling. As you explore the town-on-Gorkhon you will have to manage various meters such as health, hunger, exhaustion and immunity/infection levels. You will also have to make difficult decisions about who or what you should prioritize when time is limited.


What we like:
  • Unique storytelling mechanics with heavy philosophical concepts
  • Interesting characters with great writing
  • Fun exploration elements
  • Lots of decisions to be made
What could be improved:
  • Poor combat mechanics
