Terrible fighting (and fun surgery)
Due to the wandering mobs and other threats, you have to get into combat from time to time. Although in this case, calling it “combat” might be a little too generous.
The combat is all first-person and mostly revolves around stabbing people to death before they manage to kill you. Running (no pun intended), the combat is slow and cumbersome, and you can’t really see what’s going on.
More fun is the in-game surgery. Your character must periodically use surgical skills to heal citizens or even heal yourself. And while these minigames are simply “OK” in terms of fun, they are a welcome relief from tedious combat.
Innovative trade
One of the bright spots of Pathologic 2 comes from the trading system. Your character constantly collects items ranging from knives to body parts. And survival is often a matter of figuring out who you can trade these items with to stay alive.
Trading is also an opportunity to increase your reputation. You can trade extra things to get someone. This, along with your dialogue and actions, helps you positively influence your reputation in particular areas. If your reputation is too low, someone may refuse to trade with you, and this can literally be a matter of life and death.
