Here's the thing: I like gaming worlds to be magical, outlandish, whimsical even, and I like when my adventures there make me forget about this old boring world I have to deal with daily. Yes, I am an escapist. But here comes Disco Elysium, and it tells me a story which, while set in a very unique world, is pretty far from the wild rides of world-changing or world-saving adventures. Yet this story is so good, so heart-felt, so unlike anything I've seen in cRPGS so far (Planescape would be the closest thing to compare it with, and this should speak for itself, I guess) that I threw my escapism out of the window and dived deep into the world of Revachol and it's prodigal detective.
