Pathologic 2 Review

Ever wonder what that “task failed successfully” meme would look like as a video game? In that case, look no further than Pathologic 2!

This 2019 horror sequel to the original Pathologic is a sequel in the most literal sense: it is full of cool ideas and spooky atmosphere and mired by terrible combat and gameplay. You won’t just be disappointed by the game that you’re playing. You’ll end up haunted by the awesome game that this could have been.

Doomsday Countdown

As a player, you have a real countdown hanging over your head in this game. Your simple-sounding task is to survive 12 days. “Survive” is the keyword here, because the town gets scarier and more dangerous by the day.

You’re surrounded by rampant disease, violent thugs, and spectral events that would leave the Ghostbusters shaking in their boots. Make no mistake, this is a survival game in the most literal sense. Survival is a challenge, and it’s one that most players are not up to!
