Rock Paper ShotgunMagnificent, depressing plague colony fable Pathologic 3 has received a sizeable game update that adds some new difficulty modes, a photo feature, and some new, worryingly folkloric methods of defeating a murky embodiment of disease.

Rock Paper ShotgunNone of us have any bloody time any more, do we? The economy being in the toilet is obviously part of that, but the other part is that we're all adults and now we have to do responsible adult things like our laundry, and buying toilet paper, and buying toilet paper again because it simply never ends.
