Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

Boring game and nothing special. I wanted to see the 'revolutionary' dialogue system - not much different from what we had in 1990's. The only thing going for this game is voice acting and graphics - compared to the point and click games of the good old days. I played for an hour (that I will never get back). My adventure ended because I 'tried' to punch some kid and missed. My character lost one morale point (whatever that means), and it caused him to completely reasonably quit the police work. Yep, a very likely scenario for a person routinely dealing with dead bodies, gangsters, etc. Whatever immersion I was having, vanished at that point. Buy some other game instead.

cool

A beautifully drawn rpg where interactions are done through impressively written text and dialogue. You play as a racoon who lived inside a dumpster behind the university library who was turned into a human by a witch.

I started playing Disco Elysium, and I initially thought it was sort of cool, until I very rapidly realized that it's really just a much more complicated and darker version of an old DOS game from the early 1990s called "Martian Memorandum". I found myself skipping over the dialogue, as it becomes very tedious very quickly. You're constantly being kvetched at by a big, deep baritone man's voice, with an annoying British accent. There's a lot of profanity, which I don't mind, but its use in this game is sort of childish and tries too hard to be "hip" by overusing it. There is too much text and endless conversation choices to click on. The game is also very slow, and new tasks are endlessly added. The leveling system is incredibly peculiar and ridiculous, and the overall atmosphere of the game is very dark, depressing, and nihilistic. The main character is hopelessly weak and pathetically fragile, and one of my games actually suddenly ended after two days of playing, when all he did was read a letter. No kidding. The main character actually instantly DIED only because he read a letter that was upsetting to him. I laughed out loud, gave up, and removed the game from my hard drive. Bear in mind, this is supposed to be a police officer, but he's the weakest, whiniest, and most unmanly cop you've ever seen. A minor insult can literally kill him, or send him into a mental hospital. As a player, I got sort of tired of the constant low self-esteem, insults, and crybaby whining of the narrating, as well as the atmosphere of hopelessness and self-loathing, and the game's childish political correctness. The game screeches out every profane word in the universe, but it censors the word "f*ggot". Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. I love Witcher 3 and RPGs in general, but this game is just tiring, sort of silly, and disturbing in a non-fun way.

Seemed like a Point and click School lecture that went on entirely far too long.
