There are plenty of “challenging” games that test your reflexes or resource management. Cairn tests your patience, nerves, and self-control - and it does so without turning the struggle into a joke. This isn’t Getting Over It or Baby Steps. It takes itself seriously, and expects you to do the same.

I’ve never cared about mountains, climbing, or why people pay a fortune to die on Everest, K2, or Annapurna - especially when those mountains have already been climbed and aren’t going anywhere.
Now I kinda get it. Unfortunately.

Even the name Cairn feels smugly intentional. One climber’s progress becomes a stepping stone for the next one. Sometimes literally. Sometimes because someone didn’t make it.

Cairn is about fighting the urge to rush when the next save point is right there. You rush anyway. You run out of stamina one second before placing the piton, scream at your monitor, and start over. And when you finally succeed, it feels genuinely earned.

It’s an adventure that quietly teaches you something about yourself. You start questioning what actually matters - reaching the top, or everything you sacrifice along the way. Or maybe it’s the other way around. For me, it was the summit.

The only thing that irritated me was the automatic limb control selector. Sometimes it doesn’t behave the way you expect, but turning it off is even more cumbersome and significantly reduces your stamina “window.”

Overall, this is a beautiful game that might genuinely push you toward a new hobby - or at least make you respect people who climb things for fun. The story is fairly predictable, but in the context of a sports drama - which this absolutely is - it’s forgivable.

Inspiring. Touching. Quietly cruel.
A rare-caliber masterpiece.
Definitely worth checking out - at least on sale.

I’m still amazed how they managed to tell the same story - with the same characters, the same locations, and the same motives - three times, and somehow make it just as convoluted, intense, and intriguing as it was 20 years ago.

If the first Pathologic was a confusing art experiment by David Lynch after drinking fermented steppe milk, the second was a survival horror where food is rarer than hope and every decision feels morally illegal, then the third is an addictive detective roguelike about ideas. Finally, a game where philosophy doesn’t yell at you - it calmly dissects you, assuming your frontal lobe is fully developed and you’re emotionally prepared to be wrong.

It’s a beautiful game that asks questions, gives answers, then immediately questions those answers and judges you for believing them.
What is real, unconditional parental love?
And how much harm to others can you justify if you truly believe it’s “for the greater good”?

Pathologic 3 doesn’t hold your hand. It just watches you make decisions, fail, rationalize them, and then politely asks if you’d like to continue living with those choices.

Highly recommended - especially if you enjoy games that don’t want you to be happy, but understood.
Its sad that such games are gonna left unnoticed.

Imagine manual breathing but for walking with a full bladder, with a bunch of insufferable people who have the EQ of a stoner toddler, over the intense terrain of Snow/Mudrunner game. Now double the insufferableness and triple the manual control, and you'll get an approximate representation of how you'd feel losing all the progress from the past 40 minutes of the previously mentioned gameplay. Highly recommend if you grind your teeth at night.

It’s basically Dishonored with vampires dripping with that thick, cigarette-smoke noir vibe and killer writing. Not as deep of an RPG as the original, but damn, it’s a great game to play.

Play WoW instead, compelete waste of ssd resource.

Plays and feels like a nice and cold friday chocolate stout after work. Surprisingly complex, entertaining and rewarding, but has enough siliness to be relaxing and fun. Would recommend for anyone who still cant get enough of extraction games.

Hell no, I'm not finishing this 3-4 times just to get a delulu furry ending with K-POP ♥♥♥♥ boy or a lesbian one. If you're looking for a Silent Hill game, it's kind of it, but a soy sauce version with unbelievably stupid kids on drugs beaten by parents. 6/10 Would not recommend.

It's Tarkov, but without everything that made the game a ♥♥♥♥ and ball torture in a cuck chair. Cant say anything bad, really. Great game.

24 Hours of campaign was not worth the hustle and sucking everybody's toes. Bugs in coop all over the place. Pathetic imitation of a first game. Poland should be ashamed.

As i vim user, i feel offended.
