Tiring trial and error
This game has a great concept and I look forward to what comes next from the developers. However, to experience the most this game has to offer, you only have two options. One is picking an option that you don't know will go in a certain direction and just rolling with it (the first several times). The other is knowing your options will go a certain direction and trying different options afterward. Then you repeat the latter option again and again in order to get the most out of the game. If you're at all critical of an overabundance of dialogue options, like in Disco Elysium, then this will quickly grow tiresome. You'll see the same options repeatedly until you choose the right ones to move the game forward. Are some of the dialogue options really good? Yes! But you're required to choose them repeatedly to experience the other outcomes the game has to offer. I can see why some adore this game and have written glowing reviews. But for the price, I'd say only go all in if you're willing to accept the above realities of the game. If you want to try with the opportunity to refund, understand that to experience all the game's options requires a particulary intense session where you perform as many options as you can, repeatedly, to get as many story outcomes as you can before your refund window is up. If you're critical of this kind of mechanic, I simply can't recommend it.
