You wanna hear something pretentious?

This isn't just one of the best games ever made. It's one of the best 'things' ever made. If you want a game that will just leave you absolutely shellshocked, this is it.

If you thought that Disco Elysium was good. This is better. It's also harder to get into though. Disco Elysium is fully-voiced and fairly transparent in what it's trying to do. Pathologic 2 is a game that won't make sense ever, and that's just kinda how it is.

This is a game about surviving and curing the plague. But that's just the surface. It's about family, community, all of those common themes. But then the game just throws in that you can't save everyone, at least not without knowing what you're doing.

And well. You won't know what to do because you've never played a game that is like Pathologic 2. You're gonna die. It's part of the journey.

A new expansion is out this year as well.
