    The Russian studio Ice-Pick brings us again an interesting proposal that mixes elements of exploration, rpg and psychological terror to give as a result a great title that compensates its technical and gameplay failures with a really good story and setting.

    Pathologic 2 is a marvelous masterpiece as a psychological game. Before we start I want to tell you that most of the "mind play" games orPathologic 2 is a marvelous masterpiece as a psychological game. Before we start I want to tell you that most of the "mind play" games or "psychological" style games are based on the story and your mind not the game play. Pathologic 2 contains both elements. There's so many options that you can consider so many things that you can decide and if you just miss a spot you'll be in your inner hell trust me. Where the hell am I? What happened to game , which was the real are we on the past now or is this present day? These are the questions you might get from your confusion. I really don't wanna write about the story line of the game, because I don't want to spoil It for you. If you really want to know about this game no review would help you to do that. You need to come inside and experience it yourself on your Xbox One.… Full Review »

    Behind its insufferable gameplay, Pathologic 2 hides a deep universe with carefully written dialogue and incredible world design. It'sBehind its insufferable gameplay, Pathologic 2 hides a deep universe with carefully written dialogue and incredible world design. It's mesmerizing the amount of thought that Ice-Pick Lodge put into their world, and the risks they took to make the world into fruition. Everything is coherent, from the way you move around the map to the unforgivable survival mechanics. This game is depressing, and proud of it.

    The only reason it doesn't get a 10 from me is the fact that this game runs really ROUGH on the Xbox One. I have a pretty high tolerance for bugs and glitches and don't like to let technicalities influence my reviews, but I feel like it wouldn't be a fair review without mentioning these issues.

    I get that this is a tiny studio we're talking about, but I have to say that seeing a loading screen every time I walk like 20 steps really breaks the immersion that the rest of the game works so hard to maintain. I even debated giving it an 8 just for these issues.

    Incredible game. It's probably more entertaining to just read about it online or watch other people play it though    … Full Review »

    L'indé étronisé étron de la semaine est russe ! il est donc soit tout en russe... soit tout en anglais intégral ! et il est pathologique, çaL'indé étronisé étron de la semaine est russe ! il est donc soit tout en russe... soit tout en anglais intégral ! et il est pathologique, ça c'est sûr... et certain. C'est un jeu crade, glauque et sinistre pendant une épidemie d'on ne sait quoi, dans une époque non identifiée (pendant la révolution bolchévique peut-être ?).

    Vous êtes un médecin mais on en sait pas plus, car le jeu commence au milieu et la narration progresse à reculons, histoire d'embrouiller encore davantage ce qui peut l'être et d'aggraver encore cette ambiance exécrable qui pue la dépression et la psychose paranoïde (trop de vodka).

    Les dialogues sont ineptes et présentés d'une façon... aberrante dans ce FPS qui semble, ne le cachons pas, tout droit sorti d'une benne à ordures et... d'un autre âge ! l'interface est à l'avenant et la jouabilité (?) est aussi repoussante que l'ensemble du "jeu" proposé ici : un mauvais "délire" au sens très psychiatrique du terme...    … Full Review »
