In 2006 a horror game called Pathologic divided us, for it was "fascinating" but at the same time "very broken". Our reviewer John Walker (now of Rock, Paper, Shotgun) absolutely couldn't recommend it at £25, but at the same time couldn't praise it enough. "It's probably the most interesting and brilliant 6 out of 10 game you'll find," he eventually concluded. But at some point this autumn some of those wrongs are being put right in a new Pathologic Classic HD remaster on PC. To be clear: this is not the successfully Kickstarted remake but an enhanced version of the original.
One of the major gripes in Pathologic was the Russian-to-English translation, which was at times "unintelligible gibberish", according to our review. But for the Pathologic Classic HD there will be "a completely new translation produced by an in-house team from scratch", said the developer.
