Pathologic 3
Pathologic 3 is a psychological horror game in which you play Daniil Dankovsky, a rationalist doctor trying to defeat death itself as the same doomed town collapses around him. It is a standalone follow-up to Pathologic 2 and a reimagining of the Bachelor route from the original Pathologic, rather than a direct sequel or prequel. Its major new distinction is time manipulation: the premise remains a 12-day plague crisis, but the Bachelor can revisit and alter key events, reflecting his obsession with control, causality, and conquering death.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
