Had a great time
First and most important - there is no fighting in this game. The story. the mystery, action turns, are whats important. Feels more like reading (writing?) a book than plaing a game.

Know what you are getting in to
This is a great game, really different than anything else. What might be a little bit confusing is that it is a narrative game at its hearth. I would describe it as visual novel (rally, really well written one with great graphic, deep setting and multifaced characters) disguised as cRPG. You have all RPG elements (stats, checks, choices and so on) but no combat to speak of (in its place „encounters” are dialogue, observations, various inner monologues all are well written). The game has that good novel quality when it is really hard to stop „reading” and You find Yourself not being able to stop playing because You need to meet next character or resolve inner conflict. Stats are secondary (You can Min/Max if You want to, but that misses the point). Instead think of them as preconfiguring the novel that You are about to read. Your stats will change dialogues, scenes and so on, but no matter what that will still be a great read, so do not worry about those stats. I know that I was paralyzed at the beginning because game has 24 stats and all of them are different than in any other game, and on top pf that they are vaguely described. At first, I thought that Devs put they „artistic visions” in front of player centric design but now I think that it was done on purpose so that You concentrate on experiencing the narrative instead on „character building” (meaning concentrating in stats and mechanics). So, Yea, this i s mostly visual novel that You largely configure by Your stat choices (it will be fascinating no matter what) with dash of adventure game and cRPG elements as a tool rather than essence. The narrative can be „on the nose” sometimes. It creates that weird dissonance when simplistic choices and world views are „hidden” behind great, dense, and heavy prose. Hence 4 stars

Great game held back
I want to state that this is one of the best rpgs I have ever played. Dialogue is enough to keep you enthralled. You can play your detective numerous ways. Simple conversations and decisions can come back to hit you with an emotional sledgehammer. The art is stunning. The voice acting it on another level for the most part. Exploration is rewarding and I have given this game enough praise. Changing clothes for skill checks is dumb. There are bugs galore, seriously the more you play the more it feels like the whole thing is falling apart. SPOILER: Kim left for the day, but I knock on his door and he is in his room. He is gone when I find a new place to stay, and he is just magically at my door the next day. I climb a ladder to get in a building and he tells me to let him in, but when I get in he there next to me, but oh I still have to let him in because he is not there. Sound constantly crackles and pops. The side quests in the second half are not interesting. Too many exposition dumps about geography and history that you don't and won't actually remember. Quests that can't be completed without specific skills. It's alot that detracts from a great game and made something I couldn't put down, hard to finish.

Masterpiece
I don't like writing reviews but I would feel bad if I did not support the authors after such an incredible experience. I wish the game had never ended. If you like books, adventure games and complex characters, just get it.

Absolutely unique, creative adventure
I head GREAT things about Disco Elysium before playing it. But luckily for me, while hearing about how good it is, I avoided all exact spoilers about WHAT it is about. So I had a chance to experience the game first-hand, fresh and unbiased. And it was awesome. Disco Elysium is a great, unique experience. It’s not like it’s without it’s flaws, but as a package it’s a great adventure, and really creative. If someone isn’t into video games and thinks derisively of them as something that’s dull, uncreative, brutish and poor entertainment, I would recommend that they try Disco Elysium. I consider it a good contender in the “video games can be true art” argument. Let’s talk for a bit about the downsides of Disco Elysium, since I don’t have a lot of to say on that point. It could be said that Disco Elysium is not really a RPG, but instead something akin to an interactive visual novel. And I think there’s a lot of truth to that assertion, as Disco Elysiums gameplay loop consists almost entierly of engaging in dialogue. But the thing is – that’s only a flaw if you let it be. It wasn’t such for me. I don’t hold much stock in traditional gameplay loops, for me games are an intellectual and an emotional experience, rather than a gameplay challenge. And Disco Elysium delivered well on both of those fronts. I said Disco Elysium is unique, and it’s skill tree is a great example of this. You distribute skillpoints to develop your character, as you would do in most RPGs. But here, each of your skills is actually also a character – they chime in conversations all the time, and each have their own, distinct personality. They bicker with each other and offer you advice. And what’s really cool is that it’s not always GOOD advice, even if you “succeed” the skill check and have a high skill. Because each skill has a “portfolio” and an “agenda”, it might end up overcorrecting, and giving you advice that it CONSIDERS good, but it’s actually bad. For example, if you have a high half-light skill, you might end up lashing out or being aggresive, and if you have a high inland empire skill, you gain visions and wild imaginations that grant you more context, but end up deepening your character’s derealization and mental illness. The thoughts system is similarly interesting, equipping your character with perk-like thoughts that make up his personality and political beliefs, but most thoughts give you both an advantage and a disadvantage of some kind. Seeing how Disco Elysium mainly consists of dialogue, it rises and falls on it’s writing. And that’s consistently very good. Even though the game can be rather verbose and overlong at times, I never felt bored by the dialogue. It’s witty and quite fun. In fact, the game is downright hillarious at a lot of times, and I chuckled to myself more than a couple times reading some of the more riddiculous dialogue options. That being said, I think despite being funny, the game is also quite serious, and even sad at times. I am not known as a person with a wild sense of humor, so I tried to approach the game in a mostly serious way, and it still ended up being a compelling story about a broken, suffering man and the misfortunes of his would-be marriage, as well as his various failed ways to cope with his terrible state of being. Now, Disco Elysium deals a lot with politics as well. I was a little anxious to learn that the developers thanked Marks and Engels at an award ceremony. I come from a Central European country that suffered much during the communist times, and that has comparatively thrived under the recent-ish free market, liberal rule. So I was worried I’m going to get a love letter to communism that’s going to tell me it’s the greatest thing ever and if you don’t agree you’re a Bad Person And Suck. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that if Disco Elysium is a love letter for communism, it’s a very bitter love letter. While the game kinda did tell me I might indeed Suck for supporting the status quo-holding capitalist-liberal foreign overlord regime, it didn’t seem to have that many great things to say about communism, either. It acknowledged the very real problems with the theory, and especially the practice, how it often falls into authoritarianism, and how a violent revolution often ends up creating more suffering. In general, Disco Elysium seems to critique every ideology to a degree. Not the same degree, to be sure, since it seems to have a pure disdain and riddicule for the fascists (as it probably should), but to a degree anyway. Even centrism doesn’t escape it’s critique, seen here as a form of radicalism in itself, a radical abdication of responsibility, a lackluster adherence to the status quo. A paragraph is worth dedicating to Kim Kitsuragi as well, your main partner and companion throughout the game. Kim is a well writen and itently likeable character, which helps tie you to the game and to a lot of it’s stakes. I wanted to make it and solve the case, so that KIM COULD BE PROUD. The game is full of skill checks, and that makes it ripe for a replay with a different statblock, as you’re going to discover a lot of additional and different content. I watched a bit of other playthroughs and they seemed different enough to mine to be worth replaying the game at least once. The story of the game isn’t actually that deep or complicated in the sense of the actual PLOT, but it’s told in a very unique and entertaining way. That made it one of my top favourites of all time, apart from maybe Planescape: Torment.
