The Generation GapWhat our critics say

Pathologic 2 isn't merely a game; it's an experience in existential dread. This 2019 reimagining plunges you into a plague-stricken town, forcing impossible moral choices with brutal consequences. Its mechanics relentlessly chip away at your resources and sanity, mirroring the protagonist's desperate struggle. It’s a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling, where every interaction and decision carries a profound weight, demanding your intellectual and emotional engagement.

Ah, *Vexx*. A 3D platformer from the PS2/GameCube/Xbox era that often gets overlooked. It was a darker, more challenging take on the collectathon formula, ditching the cute mascots for a horned, clawed protagonist. While it suffered from some camera issues, its ambitious level design and demanding gameplay offered a distinct flavor that stood out from the crowd. A tough but rewarding platforming adventure.

Vexx on PS2 (and GameCube/Xbox) was a super underrated 3D platformer. People slept on this one because it was kinda dark and difficult, not your typical cutesy platformer. Collecting the hearts was a grind, but the movement felt so good, and the levels were massive and intricate. It had a cool, slightly edgy attitude that set it apart. If you like a challenge and classic platforming, this one holds up.
