I am not sure what my expectations were when I bought the game but now that my first playthrough has ended, I am glad that I did. The Rites are fun, and the gameplay seemed alright to me, though my main focus was drawn to the story and the choices you get to make about characters. It was a story that got me involved just when I wasn't really expecting this to happen, and, without even noticing, I was invested in the heart of the game and the outcome of all of my decisions. Story-wise, it is an interesting take on winning and losing and the impact it might have on the characters and on you, the reader - player. I also loved the art and the music was spot-on to deliver the feeling and the atmosphere. A very enjoyable game. I certainly recommend giving it a try! I recommend it
The description and artstyle of the main banner caught my eye and I decided to give a chance to Disco Elysium. I am so glad I did. The writing in the game is fantastic and the way the mechanics work in this particular RPG give depth to the world you perceive through the character's eyes, unlike any other I've ever played. The detective investigation is also interesting in itself and the atmosphere within the game I believe communicates successfully to the player. If you enjoy a good story, character depth and good writing in a game, you will love Disco Elysium. There is a lot of reading involved, of course, so I undestand that one who cannot stand games with a lot of reading might find it difficult to play through Disco Elysium. But I'd recommend giving it a try anyway. In the end, the way Disco Elysium was written leaves an impact and stays with you for a while. I hope to see more games like this in the future.
