Ice-Pick Lodge and team have done it again. Have you perhaps bounced off previous Pathologic games because scrounging for resources and managing primary needs in a Russian Literature Starvation Simulator didn't appeal to you? Well fret not, this time things are different. Not that I personally had any problem with that, by the way, Pathologic 2 is INCREDIBLE. Go play it now! As of the writing of this review, it's on sale for 7 dollars in my region. Phenomenal game. But this time, you're not scrounging for water and food in trash cans. You are Daniil Dankovsky! Esteemed doctor of the Capital! Daniil Dankovsky does not lower himself to scrounging for supplies. Daniil is not even truly capable of dying, at least as far as I can ascertain. No, Daniil's game is all about managing your time. You only have so much, and even with the ability to go back and rewrite things, you can only do it so many times. How well can you rewrite the story? How efficiently can you spend your time? Can you discover the source of the plague? Do you know how to treat it? How should we quarantine? How should the hospital be run? Oh, and by the by, you might be losing your mind a little bit. I suppose you'll just have to write yourself a prescription for a variety of sedatives and stimulants as needed. Fear not, you're a doctor. You can take care of something simple like this, can't you? Every day that time runs out, every time you put another bullet in your brain: another Daniil takes a stab at a new day. But even these extra chances will eventually run out. Pathologic 3 is a breath of fresh air, a wondrous new take on Ice-Pick's tried-and-true plague ridden narrative. I encourage everyone to try it. Fence sitters are encouraged to pick up Pathologic 2 for 7 bucks and enjoy Artemy's tale of starvation, murder, and white-knuckled survival. EDIT 2/4/26: I have finished Pathologic 3 and have been left speechless. I literally laughed, I cried, I experienced the whole range of human emotion. Daniil, Eva, Simon, and all who inhabit the Town on Ghorkon will be playing and replaying their tale in my head for probably the rest of my life. I don't know how to summarize it for you. You must play it to experience it for yourself. Death isn't real. You know that, right?
The very first thing most potential players want to know is how Pathologic 3 compares to Pathologic 2. I would personally argue that Pathologic 2 is the more immersive game of the two. However, Pathologic 3 is the more cerebral or complex entry in terms of game design. Pathologic 2, because it was a punishingly difficult open world game, allowed for a certain kind of emergent gameplay that is deliberately foreign to Pathologic 3. Pathologic 3 is a very delicate as well as intentionally put together clock which is self-conscious regarding what it is. The problem with Pathologic 3 is that it takes hours of progress before the player understands what it is (even though IPL did their best to describe what it would be like). Let me try to explain what I mean by giving an example derived from just one gameplay feature. In Pathologic 2 your ability to progress was determined by whether or not you had enough physical resources such as food and water available. Pathologic 3 is completely different. In Pathologic 3 your ability to progress is determined by the overall infection rate of the Town. You're tasked with managing this infection rate. You can manage it in three main ways. You can lower the infection rate by performing successful medical examinations, killing the Shabnak in infected districts (yes, it's in the game), or by issuing decrees such as quarantine measures, curfews, etc. So, already the player is presented with options for progression in ways Pathologic 2 never allowed. Let's say the game won't let me enter Day 6 because the infection rate is too high by then. The player (Daniil) can go back into the past (Days 2-5) and pursue one or more of the aforementioned methods for reducing the infection rate. In other words, you can go back to the past from the present in order to affect the future, which will then allow the player to progress to Day 6. There are other times when the player can issue decrees only available in the future in order to lower the infection rate, not just for that particular day, but for the infection rate across the present, past, and future. Both player freedom and temporality coincide here in such a way that I struggle to recall another game that even attempts to do this. Pathologic 2 certainly didn't, because it was concerned with being an open world game with survival elements. Pathologic 3 is not Pathologic 2.5. Pathologic 3 is Pathologic 3.
If you look at the negative reviews they boil down to being confused about why the game is non-linear, the new travel system and the lack of traditional survival mechanics, which is interesting considering how WELL the devs have communicated all of these changes and what this game actually was going to be. So if you don't read or look into things before buying them you may as well give Baldurs Gate 3 a bad review cause its terrible as a First Person Shooter. I guess I went in with the right expectations because I'm loving it so far. It's a really creative concept, an interesting take on the pathologic world and it's really good at what it does. Despite all the changes it still truly feels like a Pathologic game, as it keeps the spirit of what the game actually is, and it feels like a really refreshing way to return to the town after all these years. I'm really glad the devs decided to make something new instead of just making bachelor from the first game with updated graphics. The story is really fun, and the time travel mechanics make it feel more involved for me at least, as exploring decisions and outcomes it more accessible than it was in pathologic 2, considering how long the game was. It also lets the devs be a bit more bold with the consequences, which made me really paranoid. The Apathy/Mania mechanic also makes me feel a need to think carefully about my responses as once my character shot themselves after talking to children for too long (mood honestly). But it is also interesting playing this version of the bachelor who is on the edge of their sanity. Lastly the doctor machanics & city governing stuff are really fun and interesting, though I don't think I would recommend the game for someone who is only interested in that stuff. I think people who enjoy the franchise for its absurdity, characters and story are gonna love this no matter what, which has always been the very core of the games anyway. There are some negatives, but nothing that has a major impact on my enjoyment of the game. There are some bugs, and I think its a bit weird that the children are the main source of medicine and somehow have more of it than the hospital itself. Idk if thats intentional or if there is a lore reason, but it frustrated me a bit having to run all over town and trade nuts and trinkets just so I could do my job. Although that has definitely always been a core mechanic of the franchise, so I guess thats something most of the negative reviews cant complain about. Overall I went in with an open mind and found an incredible and addictive experience, and its a game I'll be talking about and recommending to people at least until Pathologic 4 comes out with Clara's story.
I have perused the reviews a bit and have found myself confused by some of the negative reviews. Let me preface everything and say I understand that this game is easier than Pathologic 2 due to the main mechanic of the game allowing you to fix mistakes made, but that doesn't make it any less of a great game. Some people still find the game too hard, while those who loved the absolute hell of the previous games (myself included), are unhappy that this game does not completely continue that cycle (not myself included). Pathologic 3 is extremely well optimized, has an artsy and poetically confusing story that rips reality apart, and has medical investigation mechanics that I find wonderfully executed. The apathy and mania meter had me a bit questioning of it at first, but after kicking enough trash cans and sprinting at beyond the speed of light (faster than sonic ever wishes he could go), I have found one simple conclusion; this mechanic is FUN. Sure it's not completely brutal and may feel off for a Pathologic game, but COME ON the mechanic is extremely fun and gives for some insanely entertaining moments where you are sprinting past a mob of angry citizens or death itself. My main cons with the game consist of one low priority issue and one high priority issue. On the lower end, I myself am playing at the highest possible draw distance and it still feels really low considering the game is no longer open world like the previous one was. Things popping in and out without letting me see it from my total distance in these small areas does not feel good at all. On the higher priority end, I am having an issue despite my drivers all being up to date where the audio is popping in and out in infected areas. It is extremely annoying and has me want to actually mute the game entirely which is not great considering there is an entire sound mechanic in these areas (iykyk). Otherwise, this is an improvement over the previous game in nearly every level. It is by far worth more than the $28 USD that I paid for it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BABBBYYY
