Pathologic 2 is an interesting game that's flawed by poor use of its mechanics and boring gameplay loop. The story would be definitely worth exploring if it weren't for the terrible optimization and constant loading screens.

Pathologic 2 is an experience, I’ll give it that. But not one I wish to spend any further time in. It’s just far too dull and painful. The most telling thing of all? I fell asleep playing. Pathologic 2 is out now for most systems, and just this month on PS4. If you are absolutely desperate for some contagion related entertainment, you can do a lot better than this.

Pathologic 2 does a fine job of capturing the feelings of a town under distress, though it can feel like a painful chore to play with technical glitches and loading times hindering the experience overall.

Pathologic 2 is a game that will appeal to a very particular type of player, and be despised by everyone else. Those on the fence should scope out the game on either YouTube or Twitch to know what you are getting into.

Pathologic 2 is the ultimate acquired taste - unforgiving, byzantine, and eye-opening.

Pathologic 2 offers a hauntingly bleak tale, then does its best to stop you from experiencing it.

Strange and depressive fight against a devastating plague is not sattisfaction for everyone.

Underneath it all, Pathologic 2 is an engaging and disquieting game, one that has the potential to be something really quite special. But its survival mechanics are unnecessarily suffocating and take much of the joy out of it. Until Pathologic 2 is cured of that particular problem, be prepared for an uneven slog.

Pathologic 2 presents a weird, engaging, and wholly unique world to uncover and explore, but makes the act of playing it a clunky and laborious chore.

Pathologic 2 is a narrative triumph, but atrocious combat gets in the way.

Pathologic 2 is a narrative-driven thriller that doesn't really care if you have a good time or not. Prepare to be eternally hungry.

We are facing a hard, difficult and often frustrating game, but one that has an atmosphere like few others and that the difficulty options will allow it to reach a wider audience. However, poor console performance tarnishes an experience that could have been almost outstanding.

I thought I would enjoy Pathologic 2, but its needlessly mundane and cruel systems take too much away from its otherwise interesting and strange world.

A weird an unique game that may be too confusing for most of the players but manages to be almost unique in its kind.

A gruelling mystery game that smothers its big ideas with dour survival mechanics.

Pathologic 2 is a remake of a survival horror game from 2005. It streamlines the plot and makes everything look prettier. You can feel the age however and the supernatural elements can be off putting. Fans of Penumbra and Amnesia should feel at home.

I can’t say I’ve ever played something quite like Pathologic 2. The systems are intricate, the choices have serious consequences and the story is perhaps the most mind-boggling I’ve ever experienced in a video game. At times, it’s too much, the unforgiving learning curve and hard to follow story making it wildly inaccessible. However, if you are patient and stick with it, Pathologic 2 opens up into a completely unique, surreal and harrowing experience that I can assure you won’t have played anywhere else.
