Chris White: "Pathologic Classic HD is a fantastic game developed by a small indie team with a genuine and obvious love of smart, psychological horror. The game is challenging and you will feel alone without anyone to hold your hand and this is the best thing about it; you will be psychologically and emotionally tested like you never have before. There are framerate issues and the general look is poor in comparison to a lot of open-word games already out there, but if you are willing to give Pathologic a chance, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed."

SOMA is great as well! Maybe I should do a revised and expanded list in the future. It's hard to get the list down to 5!
Johnny at BagoGames writes:"Horror games are not easy to get right, what scares one person may certainly not scare another. Some people love jump scares, while others like psychological horror more. No matter which genre you like however, a horror game is usually at it’s best when you play it without knowing anything about it beforehand. So when my editor asked me to review a game called Pathologic Classic HD, a game that I did not know anything about, I was to intrigued to say no."
I backed the new one on Kickstarter and am glad they redid the old one too!
The original release was easily one of my favourite games ever made, even with the bugs, cut content and incomprehensible translation, and this rerelease has only improved on it.
There's a lot of games that try to be poignant or deep, but I feel like Pathologic and Ice-Pick Lodge's games are the only ones to succeed in that regard.
