Pathologic 3

Though it differs from Pathologic 2 in suprising ways, it is all for the better as 3 offers a unique and compelling expereince

Каждый год ожидания этой игры окупился с полна, это невероятная игра, которая захватила меня в сессию длинной в 15 часов, и я не хочу идти спать. Но, при перемещении во днях иногда можно дюпнуть предметик, где то диалог 2 раза проиграет. И немного нехватает этого дифицита из второй части. Но это мое личные предпочтения как фаната второй части. КРАААААЙНЕ рекомендую

Как фанат первого Мора диагностирую у себя сгоревшую жопу. В третьем Море геймплей заменили на кривой и топорный хардкор, а погружение в уникальную атмосферу города на душнилово. Разрабы тут не в игрушки с игроком играют, тут нужно проникнуться болью и страданием, дабы постигнуть смыслы!

It was quiet in Thanatica...

Однозначно, игра не для тех кому меньше 30-и. Тут надо додумывать мысль автора и просто думать, а не плыть по течению сюжета. Сразу можно сказать, повествование тяжелое, скорее драма. Сижу и думаю, какое впечатление оставил сюжет.... но точно, зацепил. А это уже что-то значит. Эта игра оставляет послевкусие. Совершенно не жалко времени. Думающая игра для начитанных людей. Рекомендую!

So far, fantastic piece of art, will elaborate more, once I fully tuned reality until it matches my intent.

Продолжая мысль обзора Карантина: Мор 2 был про театр, Мор 3 - про синема. Обзор, в сущности, не имеет смысла. Эта игра не едина.

at first I want to say that I have NOT played pathologic classic yet and all my comparisons and context come from pathologic 2. also, this text contains minor spoilers, I think they are not intrusive. Despite the game's technical flaws, I still love it and i think it's currently the best way to start playing the series. it is more forgiving than pathologic 2 and supposedly more playable than pathologic classic (from others opinions). I absolutely adore how the narration, dialogue options and some other subtle details show how Daniil is different from Arthemy, and what person he is overall. The dialogues in this game are really fun and often ironic or emotional, while still being as puzzling and indirect as in the second game. I like how much content there is, some of which is unlocked only after ending the game once. with how our final conversations with Clara went, I really hope there will be an another game dedicated to her. I even consider donating to kickstarter this time i like how this time while playing in english verssion, we can hear thugs talking to us in russian. it is much better than the "hey, you!" we used to hear in pathologic 2. i enjoyed the whole time traveling thing with how our actions could change the reality in next days. that is brilliant and very impressive for me. there are also more cutscenes that i expexted based on the previous game and they are really good. When it comes to the storytelling, I appreciate how we are at first in the worst scenario in which bachelor did everything wrong, or nothing at all and we gradually fix his previous failures. it makes us acnowlegde how much Daniil did in the end. I also wonder if the bachelor we see in pathologic 2 also traveled in time, cause I don't recall any hints to that. it is nice that as Dankovsky we don't have to worry about food, but i wonder if there is any explanation for that. he himself admits to not having eaten for many days, but i didn't meet an answer to why he doesn't just collapse without food or something. i really hope it's not a plot hole. however, there are some things that seem quite weird to me. for example, Arthemy sniffing the bachelor and telling he is dehydrated by that alone. in the previous game, I haven't seen any signs of Arthemy having some extraordinary sense of smell, or social awkwardness which also could be sometimes observed in his behaviour in this game. before this game, I didn't have the impression he is THAT straightforward and untalkative. I still enjoyed talking to him an getting to know him better, but it just surprised me and made me wonder if it really is the same Arthemy (other characters seem to be more simmilar to their versions from pathologic 2, including Clara i think. I really enjoyed that game and can't wait for the next one, but it has its downsides I want to mention I remember getting absolutely stuck in two places while playing the game as intended, without behaviours that could be unexpected by the devs. one was at the house in the crude sprawl in which the children want to move in (right to the left of the person inside, the same room). i just simply walked on some stuff laying on the floor and couldn't get out. the second time was at the train cemetary next to the "beast howling" , to her right side i think. i fell down from a train and got stuck in some kind of triangular(?) space surrounded by train parts or other junk. as bachelor we cannot jump, but i think it could be really useful in such situations. There are quite a lot of visual bugs, including people partly clipping through enviorment (in the warehouses near notkin's base when the area is red on the map (forgot how it's called but there are a lot of bandits etc), there is a certain thug leaning against one of the warehouses. the problem is that in my playthrough he was partly in the wall and didn't really react to me in any way. There are also some situations in which you can get the same dialogue with different non essential NPCs and after finishing the dialogue with one of them, the others still light up in our focus mode just to tell you the exact same thing. it was the most annoying when i was searching for Nina Kaina through the town. it was soooo repetetive and I did not want to assume that all of them are going to say the same cause i feared losing some dialogue that way. i think there wasn't such problem in the previous game. there were also times when some child sat in the air like two meters in front of a bench which is not much of a problem to me, but i imagine it could interrupt ones immersion. I am not sure if it's intentional, but at the stillwater area outside, there is a small mirror in a corner between other buildings and in my playthrough it always appeared like only half of it is sticking out of the ground. I sadly don't remember any specific examples but i believe there are some little typos in the english version of the game, which made me confused while reading them, but it's not a big deal. aside from the glitches, I wanted to complain about getting through infected districts a bit. sometimes it seems like without reagent you can't get through them untouched, especially in apathy, which was kind of a pain in the ass. still managable though. also, I find the soundtrack of this game quite inconsistent compared to my expectations from the previous game. it is nice that as bachelor we have completely different background music, but some of it is a bit out of place in my opinion and does not fit with the rest well. mania and apathy related noises, thought and decision related noises and dialogues are nailed, but i remember that near the start of a game there were like two situations when i heard electric guitar being played and it never appeared to me again. i could have not noticed, but generally i enjoyed background noises more in pathologic 2 it may seem like there are many things I didn't like but isn't as bad as it may sound and I would reccomend this game for everyione and especially the ones intending to play their first pathologic game. aside from bugs and my personal doubts, the game is still a masterpiece and very intelectually satysfying. (you can correct my mistakes in the comments if I got something wrong)
