This is really good. I played it for a few hours on PC when it came out and really enjoyed myself with it.

I noticed they just released a stripped-down free-to-play version of PES, so is it the full game on GP?

EDIT: Self-answer, yes, it’s the standard version.

Anyone played Pathologic or Pathologic 2? I hear its an amazing RPG but it seems a little daunting.

Haven’t had time this week to start Pathologic 2, but the original was brilliant, weird and unnerving. But not for everyone.

This review says Pathological 2 is a remake of the 1st game and also a sequel to it. Sounds like a marmite game -



Pathologic 2 is a narrative-driven dramatic thriller about fighting a deadly outbreak in a secluded rural town. The town is dying. Face the realities of a collapsing society as you make difficult choices in seemingly lose-lose situations. The plague isn’t just a disease. You can’t save everyone.

The plague is devouring the town. The chief local healer is dead, and you are now to take his place. You’ll have to look for unexpected allies. The local kids are hiding something. Try playing by their rules.

You only have 12 days.

- 12 days in an odd town ravaged by a deadly disease.
- Time is of the essence: if you don’t manage it carefully, it’ll simply run out. You’ll have to choose how to spend the priceless minutes you have.
- Survival thriller. You’ll have to manage your bodily functions, offsetting hunger, thirst, exhaustion, and so on. It doesn’t boil down to scavenging resources. Surviving on your own is hard; you’ll have to win over allies.
- An uphill battle. Managing your bodily parameters may seem bearable at first, and as time goes by, it becomes harder and harder. Your own body is only waiting for an opportunity to give up and betray you. Things are changing from bad to worse and the odds are stacked against you.
- A duel with an enemy you can’t kill. Your main foe is the plague itself, an incorporeal and malevolent entity that you have to defeat… without having the means to. It’s more powerful and more treacherous than you can imagine.
- Loot, murder, mug, steal, barter, beg… or don’t. You need resources to survive, and it’s up to you how to obtain them.
- The fights are short, ungraceful, and vicious. They’re not always lethal though. Many people—yourself included—would prefer to exchange their wallet for their life.

Every decision Sean has made, every lesson Daniel has learned, every friend and foe they’ve met along the way: they’ve all been leading to this.

I am actually quite intrigued by Pathological 2, I’m just not sure if it’s going to make my Christmas rotation. Goose Game seems a bit more appropriate (disregarding that goose is almost certainly a traditional festive dish to some).

Untitled Goose Game is free on Xbox Game Pass. Theme Hospital-like is coming. No need to get a different platform because on Xbox Microsoft will buy you all the games you want!

Picked up Void Bastards again for the first time in months. What a good game that is. Some QoL improvements since I last played also, including a FOV slider.

Phoenix Point is quite good, not as polished as the bigger budget XCOM games but if you enjoyed those then you'll probably like it.

Its quite a bit more difficult though, there's a lot more strategy involved in the combat.

I've been playing a lot of Totally Accurate Battle Simulator and it's excellent.The graphics while a bit simplistic look nice and the unit choice is really good.

I like it a lot :wub: .
