This game was constantly on my mind when I wasn't playing it, and absorbing me when I was. The story is really good, and some moments left me feeling things acutely. Very dialogue-heavy, which I consider a plus. Honestly, very worth it, looking forward to another playthrough down the line.

A game where you investigate existence
Dialogue based RPG with lots of running around. Not La Noire. I wish there was a game combining the elements of both games. Not short, not long, but being an RPG the replayability factor shifts it towards long. Suggestion: change screen to grayscale when playing the bad cop for extra noire experience, embrace the decadence and darkness... The experience will stay with you for a long time. 5/5 get it now p.s. runs just fine on HD620

A peek at what gaming could be
Disco Elysium offers us a new vision of what games could be, the writing was hilarious at times and heart wrenching at others. The world that you inhabit is alive and is saturated with so much ambiance that at times it was difficult to remove myself from it. So much of modern gaming is neglectful of the responsibility of art to be used as a lens for dissecting life. However Just as it is not inherently bad for a T.V show or movie to be a purely cathartic experience, not all games should aim to be thoughtful meditations of life and the social structural that we exist in. In general it has been the exact opposite with few games ever venturing an attempt to legitimize gaming as a platform through which interesting and complex narratives can be told. Disco Elysium takes this responsibility and runs with it. Though the political satire times can seem heavy handed the fantastic writing and perfectly suited musical accompaniment more than makes up for it.

Don't buy if you don't love a good story
Disco Elysium is a unique RPG that rises above its simplicity and flaws due to its excellent writing. It is one of the best video games I have played. One possible negative is the gameplay is simplistic. The gameplay mostly takes place in text boxes from which you make decisions and pass(or fail) skill checks. Your decisions on where to assign skill points affects your odds of passing said checks and other actions you may have performed can also improve or hinder your odds, but once a check is made you simply pass or fail based entirely on RNG. So if you were willing to save scum you could pass all checks without putting any points into improving skills. Apparently on launch it was a buggy mess. The developers have worked many of those bugs out so that by the time i got it I didn't run into any bugs that were any more than just annoying. Even still the game is riddled with typos and at best questionable decisions(are quests and repeatable checks that i can’t actually access anymore supposed to still show on my map?). Also, the game is actually quite small. It has a decent play time but that is spent running back and forth over the same ground talking to a relatively small number of people. All of this only adds up to a minor annoyance for me however as the writing is so f**** good. The setting and characters are well fleshed out, the people feel like real people Martinaise feels like a real town. At one point I failed a skill check that put Kim, my partner, in danger and i felt real fear for this fictional character in a way that I never have before in a game. Also the level of freedom is stunning. You can choose to be a psychopath hedonist that manipulates everyone around him, simply a drunk loser, a straight and narrow by the book cop, a communist fundamentalist, or any crazy combination of these. The game manages to make different thoughts and actions available based on how you are playing your character so that all of this feels incredibly meaningful.

WARNING, YOU CAN*T COMPLETE THE GAME.
Overall, this game would have been a solif 4.5-ish star game. I love the story, the characters and the way you progress through the game as a whole. But...... The game revolves around leveling up different skills, like Perception, Logic, Empathy etc, so yoou can costomize your characters different every time. Here comes the part that dumps the overall score down by alot. There are hidden checks being done, that can only be visable and reacted to if you have a high enough skill in a certain category, and pass the hidden dice roll, and there is one part towards the end THAT YOU CAN FAIL, AND IF YOU DO, YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE GAME. It's absolutely unforgivable that this is still in here after a year and a half.
