Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

Best game ever

Its like the slavic version of the first Blade Runner, its very artistic, existential, nihilistic at times and otherworldly. Gameplay wise it is one of the best RPGs of the modern times. Think Planescape Torment, but with detectives and vodka. Loved it :)

This has been the most pleasurable gaming-rpg experience that I've experienced in a long while. Disco Elysium perfectly balances comedy and tradgedy in a way that spoke to my soul. Not since the Mass Effect trilogy have I felt as invested in the stories of these characters and my characters interaction with them. The game feels grounded yet absurd at the same time, very much like our own reality. There is no traditional combat but there are still stakes as your protagonist is suffering from some mental instability and the wrong choice of words being said can easily push him over the edge to a fail state. If you want a game that has a stories, characters, and heart, then Disco Elysium is the experience that you are looking for.

I was unsure of Disco Elysium when I first bought it to be honest. I had heard nothing but praise for the game, but was slightly apprehensive before I started playing it. Was I wrong about that apprehension. Disco Elysium is an incredible game with an intriguing narrative that gripped me from the second it began along with a unique and beautiful art style and a great soundtrack. The narrative is the main selling point of the game, and it works very well in my opinion. It is unique and far different from more traditional RPGs and it takes inspriation from the works of philosophers and political thinkers. I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to delve further into the CRPG genre or is intrigued by what Disco Elysium is. + An incredibly captivating narrative right from the beginning + Great soundtrack and artistic style (personal taste) + Has a large variety of personality in its cast of characters + Unique setting for the CRPG genre - Has A LOT of text (personal taste)

If you like it crazy beyond reason this might be a good game for you. I have to give them that this is something new and provocative which in itself might be worth the look. Do not expect a well rounded experience however and dont be fooled this is no roleplaying game its basically a text adventure with a very dynamic choice system. There are good ideas in there but the noise around them is massive. You have to be willing to sift through a lot of crazy mental illness, addiction and far out there world lore to actually find some plot. Your choices have a huge effect on your character and shape the way you can play the game but there is very little meaningful interaction with the outside world. If you want a game world in which Monty Python logic is the rule of the day this is for you, if not, pass this game up.
