The Indie Game Website writes: "As a preface to the review itself, I think it’s important that some of the issues regarding Pathologic 2’s press reception are addressed. I’ve found myself going against the grain and looking to pour praise on this crushing, time-consuming behemoth. Many reviewers, it seems, were not willing or able to put enough time into the game to make a fair assessment of its merits and self-awareness. There have been damning reviews from major media outlets, and a general overwhelming resentment due to the game being difficult, obtuse, and allegedly a bit naff.
As much of a peacemaker as it’s tempting to be, I can’t let this go unchallenged. It highlights a prejudice toward Pathologic based on perceptions of its predecessor and the unusual structure it presents, aversion to a difficulty curve that is, at best, non-linear, and a misunderstanding of the game’s intentions."
This month’s Humble Choice features twelve games plus a new Humble Original. They include PC Building Simulator, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, Pathologic 2, and more. New games are added to Humble Choice on the first Friday of every month.
I wonder how many users would have to pause a month for them to reconsider what kind of games they're offering
It’s really sad but Humble Bundle has kind of lost its allure for me since they sold out to IGN. Haven’t gotten a bundle since. I respected what they used to stand for.
TechRaptor writes, "Ice-Pick Lodge, the developer of Pathologic 2 has announced that they have four projects in development, including the "promised continuation" of Pathologic 2. However, all of the stories except Pathologic 2's continuation will be on the smaller scale."
Pathologic 2 captures the feeling of a town under distress, but a host of technical glitches and loading times hinder the overall experience.
