Play it
Play it fully. Soak it in. Let it ferment. Is this even a game, or real life? I don't know. Just don't skip anything, and retry if you get things wrong (save very often), to make sure you get all of it. Then what?

5/5
The kind of game that makes it difficult to play anything else when you're done with it. It's painfully obvious that ZA/UM understands the sub-genre and what makes it enjoyable better than any other studio working today. For me to list any pet peeve I may have would detract from the fact that, as of 2019, there is no substitute to Disco Elysium as far as padding-free adventure-RPG hybrids go.

A true successor to Planescape
To keep things short this game succeeds where Numenera arguably failed in recapturing some of the key magic of the original Planescape Torment while very much breaking new and exciting ground. I won't speak on heavy specifics, as part of this game's charm is going into as "blind" as possible. Sure the setting may not be trekking across the different planes of the DnD reality or far flung sci-fi landscapes of Numera. Instead, the game takes place in a world much like our own (the new ex-yugo republics as they were in the 90s particularly come to mind). However, as a trade off, the trash mobs and atrocious combat of Planescape (one of the biggest flaws with the game according to its original creators) are gone and a more fully realized dialogue system and inner voice mechanic (one of Numenera's more ambitious but not fully realized ideas in my opinion) are present instead. This is very much still an rpg which means character load outs, skill checks and specs are present. Interestingly enough though, when these shift away from combat and focus on dialogue..Well let's just say this is an indie title that has somehow managed to breathe a new life into the crpg renaissance which as of late was becoming more of a nostalgic laundry list than a true rebirth. In fact I would say that this game most accurately captures the feeling of playing a true tabletop game with a dm who is always one step ahead of you. Which is a thrilling and increasingly rare experience. My only caveat is, if you don't like reading this game might not be for you, for anyone else please make this a must buy.

Bland world, characters, and story
Disco Elysium was presented as a dialogue focused CRPGs, like Planescape Torment. Being a fan of the latter, I was very excited for Disco Elysium. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I will first mention one of its greatest qualities: Disco Elysium is well written. But this one good quality is over-shadowed by its faults. Disco Elysium's world, its characters, and the only companion (namely Kim), are all very bland and uninteresting. Only the player character's skills, which each have their own “personality” are interesting, but that’s about it. Kim is merely a cop, the player is merely cop who drunk himself into amnesia. Don’t expect characters as unforgettable as the characters from Planescape Torment, because there aren’t any truly interesting characters in Disco Elysium. The level of freedom is quite limited. The main story has one real ending (unless you count dying before the end as an ending), and the main story is quite rigid. And although certain problems can be solved in a small number of different ways, the differences do not affect the story a lot. Don’t expect an RPG with many different endings, multiple solutions, and branching narratives, because Disco Elysium is mostly (though not completely) on rails. Also, for a CRPG (or CRPG-like game), the game is a bit on the short side. But it felt long, at least for me, but only because the story was boring. I kept expecting some interesting event would occur, but rarely did something notable. Only the first couple of hours was the game interesting, and after that, it became overly bland. There were only a small handful of moments that were truly interesting. (spoiler: like when I found out the murder victim was both hanged AND shot, or when I found out there was a group of game developers in the game world trying to create a D&D-like game using radios). All in all, the story did not impress me. I disliked this game’s art direction, but that’s a matter of personal tastes.
