Quantic Dream (Farenheit, Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human) spent the last 15 years trying to make art, but ended up making walking simulators. IcePick Lodge spent the last 20 years trying to make a walking simulator, but keeps ending up with the truest form of art.

I have no idea why I suddenly bought this game and jumped in without knowing anything about it, but man am I glad I did. I had no idea what to expect and I got my ass handed to me SO FAST. I had no idea what was going on, had no idea how to stop dying on the FIRST DAY, yet I couldn't stop playing. As many others have already said, it's definitely a game worth sitting through, even if you want to pull your hairs out and feel frustrated and stuck a lot of the time. I remember somehow getting myself stuck in a deathloop and miraculously getting myself out of it after what, 7 tries? Felt AMAZING. What kept me around the first time was trying to learn more about the story and town, later on I wanted to do better and save more people, then it became an addiction and one of those games that's always just on my mind. You learn from your mistakes, try to prevent them in the next playthrough, and uh oh, you done ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up again. TIME FOR ANOTHER PLAYTHROUGH. Definitely go in blind if you can.

In my first playthrough I was like a persistent rat daring its way through a dangerous street. Everywhere I went, I was met with disdain and death. It was only through trial and a lot of error, and a few deaths, that I managed to get to the end. It was not without the loss of many lives of the ones which I did not realize at the time meant the world to me. There was sometimes no right choice in the decisions I made, I would always wonder if I could have made a better choice In my second playthrough, I was an omnipotent rat.

If the main character, the author, or the reader is suffering, then it’s Russian literature. If the author, the main character, and the reader are all suffering, then it’s a classic of Russian literature. And Pathologic 2 is, as you guessed, a classic of Russian literature.

So after only 8 hours in, which is not very much AT ALL, I can definitely warn you of several things. This game is meant to elicit many negative feelings, and that's kind of the point. This game makes you a sarcastic but skilled doctor who walks through a town enveloping in disease. Every conversation and task feels like a stressful, confusing, tiring chore. However, despite all of this, it presents itself in a very unique way. Games can definitely qualify as art, and this is one of the games that takes human suffering and turmoil, and artistically puts you in the eye of that tense and despair-drenched degradation. This game really is its own world, and it's a game that intends to make you feel just as drained as the very protagonist you play as. If you play this: Expect to walk long distances. Expect to be confused by people's vocabulary. Expect to feel out-of-the-loop. Expect to feel stressed and bored. Expect to feel like you have no chance to succeed. Expect to feel like the game WANTS you to give up. Expect all of these things, and yet admire this game's world and the way you traverse it.
