Just a reminder that this free prologue to pathologic 3 is out now
As far as writing is concerned, they’re both amazing. I do think P1’s mechanics are a little too janky, though some argue that just adds to the uneasiness and oddity of it. Personally I think it makes it a little inaccessible for most.
It’s worth at least giving it a try. My opinion is far from consensus. P2 is for the most part just a retelling of the Haruspex route with (VERY welcome) improvements, so you really won’t be missing out on anything plot-wise.
I’ve heard people say it’s better to start off with Bachelor because it’s more grounded but I really don’t think it’s necessary. You’re just gonna learn about some of the more exotic aspects of the universe before the more mundane ones.
I own P1 & P2. They’re in my list of games I really need to get around to playing. I’ve had em for years… 🤦

Fair enough! Should I try and muscle on through the jank in P1, or skip it and go straight to P2?

Ok. Very little of that actually made sense to me.
I’ll give P1 a go first then? 🤷 Not a stranger to jank mechanics and weirdness. Grew up playing DOS RPGs after all.
Definitely give it a shot! If you’ve been gaming for a long time, you might not mind it.
Dope! Now to find time to actually play games…🤔
