Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD! I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE ENDING!! . . . This game is a kind of tragedy. It starts out great with an interesting world, unique characters and the promise of thrilling detective story with twists, turns and a lot of suspects that all have their own agenda. Than add a touch of politics and some strange, quirky humor and all is set for an experience to remember. And the game delivers for the first acts of the story. You collect clues and constantly have to re-evaluate who are the good and who are the bad guys. And than in the last Act it falls completely flat. Gone are the descissions, you just follow a pretty linear path to the ending. And worst of all: When it comes to the solution to the mystery: the game gives you a big middle finger. If you tryed to solve the case by yourself - forget it. All the questioning of suspects, all the back and forth, all the contradicting testemonies, all the "who might be lying" - you can forget it all. Because in the end (SPOILER!!!) the killer turns out to just be a random guy you have never met before, that was never mentioned before and none of the witnesses knew. So the game is basically 30 hours of inconsequential questioning people, than you realize that the shot might also have originated on a different island. You go there - bang - there is your killer. Ask a few questions, he confesses. Hip-Hip-Hurray - Cue the credits. Thank you for nothing...

I've been into FPS games for some time now. I find this game to be quite boring. Way too much blah, blah, blah and too much time spent hunting down innoculous items.

Praised be Marx, this glorious videogame let's you play roleplay as communist worker hero cop. Unfortunately, it also has some flaws, like letting you roleplay as free-market fundamentalist cop, fascist pig cop, or moderate class-traitor cop. Not a game for souls that don't like videogames that make you reflect on society and philosophy.

Ideological steamrolling masquerading as storytelling. It's a good game if you're already enmeshed in the zeitgeist. It would be a 3/5 if it didn't violate my intellectual integrity and push its ideologically charged worldview onto the player. Some might call it "woke", and it carries that subtle tone. Because of the cultural attitudes it promotes, my home country is being torn apart from within at the street-level. Thus, this game effectively promotes disharmony and strife over understanding.

It's a great game and it angers the american right who are always silly and the whining about this video game just proves it again, another point just for that. If the devs were "commies why would they "sell a product?" stupid stupid stupid and these are the people running the US, no wonder lol;) 9/10
