Excellent but don't buy
This is literally my favorite game ever but the people who originally created the game and setting have been kicked out from ZA/UM and do not have control of their idea. I would highly recommend finding "alternative" ways to play this game as it is truly peak RPG gaming.

It'll ruin story-based entertainment 4 U
Disco Elysium has by far the best writing I've ever experienced in any game, and that's an understatement. I'm also a book nerd and have often found myself thinking, whilst paging through some novel: "well, the writing here is good, but it ain't no disco elysium". The characters feel real. Blood and meat, and bones real. Kim is so well-written he sometimes doesn't even feel like an NPC, but like a bro you're enjoying this experience with. The world, while being really unique also feels real and you learn it in the best way possible - with a character that has a story-justified reason to learn the world with you. It's masterfully clever. The art style is awesome (but that's also subjective), it kind of grasps at the moment in modern art evolution after all the Dalis and Picassos rulebreaking fun era and before all the 90s-00s putting weird stuff in a jar and calling it art era. The voice acting is the best I've ever heard, especially the narrator. How one guys can make 13 different characters sound at the same time distinct and the same is beyond me. Disco Elysium is trully a 'narcotic' experience that breaks your expectations and then picks up the broken pieces of them and build a marvellous collage. ELECTROCHEMISTRY(success): Did he just say 'narcotic experience'? Why are you still waiting, BRING. IT. ON! VOLITION(success): Don't listen to him. He's just attempting to share something. Truth is you will visit Revachol for a while and then leave it. As a guest, not as a local. You will not stay at the whirling in rags, you will not wear ridiculous ties. You will feel bad about leaving. You will wish you never visited in the first place. Then one day, you'll walk down a street in the evening, watch the sodium lamps radiate monocolor and then hear the tinhorns sound in your head. Then all will be fine again.

Disguised as good by smart, hip writing
After listening to 10+ hours of inconsequential drivel from different NPC's, this bit of text from the game summarized the experience perfectly for me: " 'And, as you know, they have this very distinctive dress uniform with scarlet breeches and little cylindrical fur caps, I think these are called...' You daze off, as Trant tells you about the peculiarities of mounted police forces in central Occident." It's like the writer suddenly realized "What the heck am I even writing about here??? There aren't any mounted police forces or central Occident even in the game! Let's end the dialogue quickly this time. Oh my god I wrote the ENTIRE GAME like this..." There is just way, way too much information about things that don't matter in the context of the main quest, side quests or the world that you can interact with. There are many more problems in the game, but I'm very forgiving about general gameplay and design hiccups in a story driven game if the characters, the world and the story are interesting. It's a shame the game fails in that department, because it does have some potential. The art is good. A couple of the main story NPC's are written and voiced nicely. When I interacted with them, I was thinking the game would be so much better if all characters gave out such relevant information. Despite the 2 star review I'm willing to try their next game, if the writing is more focused on the immediate happenings of the game. The parts of the game where that happened, I enjoyed.

Overwhelming with tediousness
I was quite looking forward to playing Disco Elysium after seeing a review, as the game seemed to be quite up my alley. And the initial impressions were quite favourable, very long boot time that made me think the game froze solid notwithstanding. I liked the audio-visual presentation, the voice acting, the characters and the initial story. As I was playing, however, my opinion was turning more and more negative, unfortunately. I turned on the light - my character died. I reached for the tie - my character died. I left the hotel, talked to a few people and examined a few items - I was flooded with side quest. I went to grab a coat - I ended up sidetracked and stuck in a side area, with the only way to exit leading through a guy that kills you with dialogue; I had to edit my save file to get out of that spot like it was mid-'90s again. And no matter what little thing I clicked on, the game treated me to endless walls of text that after a while I just started ignoring and skipping without reading. Perhaps I missed a lot of characterization and world building this way, but it honestly was too much, too everywhere. And the worst thing: I got buried under this heap of stuff before I so much as examined the corpse of the guy whose death I was supposed to investigate. I ended up uninstalling Disco Elysium and asking for a refund, because if the game doesn't care about me, why should I care about the game?

I don't get it
I like (mostly funny) click'n'point adventures, where you can goof around and I like RPGs (inparticular action RPGs), but I don't get this game. The game feels like a very slow and detailed version of King's Quest I. I don't feel free to goof around, since everything might have consequences. You can die, time is constantly moving and I might have messed up already two hours ago by giving a wrong answer or by leveling a wrong stat. So far the murder mystery story did not grab me either and the NPCs love to talk about fantasy racism and politics (without funny/clever/satirical connections to the real world - or I don't get them).
