Witty but largely lacking in gameplay
This is an extremely dialogue-heavy choose-your-own-adventure-game with LITE RPG elements. The gameplay mainly consists of a point system that the player allocates to fulfill various traits which alter the success of dialogue and choices that the character makes. The world is a bit bizarre and is heavily preoccupied with political overtones that consist of choosing between liberal and conservative stances. Oftentimes, you will have to return to a situation to pass a skill check that you would not have previously. The writing, although lengthy, is funny and I genuinely laughed out loud at a few moments. The main problem for me is that it is more graphic novel than it is game at times. It wouldve been nice to feel like an active participant in the world rather than a driver that steers a wheel one direction or the other. It also couldve done with some action scenes that break up the monotony of the game after a few hours. Overall, the gameplay is too simple to really be considered a game. The RPG lite qualities ultimately just become the framework in which you endlessly maneuver through dialogue choices. Eventually I lost interest after about 5 hours once I understood the peak of the gaming experience in Disco Elysium.
