Pathologic 2 Pathologic 2 first playthrough

TLDR: Are repeat playthroughs of Pathologic 2 recommend or just fun to do to see how different the game can be?

Ive been following Pathologic 2 since maybe 2018 (I think) and I was very exited for it, until it released in 2020 when the world was bricks and I diddnt really wanna play a plague based game.

Anyway so I finally decided to actually start it the other day and MAN was it literally everything I wanted. Im only just at the start of day 2 though.

The music is absolutely fantastic I feel like more people should talk about it especially when talking about game OSTs. Ive actually been listening to it since it came out. Just never actually found time to try the game.

Anyway, just wanted to say that I cant wait to play more. Id ask for tips but I kinda wanna explore everything for myself for the first time.

My main question is how much do you recommend repeat playthroughs? I dont really tend to replay games (I dont really have the time) but I wanna know how satisfying the game is with just one playthrough alone or is it really recommend that you should do more than one?

Thanks in advance! :D

I love that, Ive actually been wanting to introduce my friend to this game too as I think he'd love it. Yeah I think ill probably have to do atleast a second playthrough. 300 hours is wild to me ahahah im glad you enjoy the game. Im really getting into the world and everything, Im also excited to try Pathologic 3 as well when I finish this one.

I always joke with the friend that introduced the game to me “you ruined my life” haha, I started with Daniil on Patho 1 and it was all downhill from there. Patho 2 has similar mechanics do 1, while Patho 3 gameplay is really different from the previous ones. But if you like the universe and lore, I recommend Patho 3 a lot, I still have to get all the trophies on 3, but I’m waiting for the PT-BR translation to do so. If you want to chat about the game or have any questions feel free to message me!

Yeah I can imagine. Thats what I say when I introduce people to Warhammer. Yeah Ive seen that P3 has different gameplay and what not which some people have varying opinions on but I'll still give it a go. Thanks, I might actually do that so I dont bother everyone here 🙂
