Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

Fear & Loathing in Martinaise

Brilliant game, full of vibrant and mind-bendingly clever writing, wonderfully sombre and nostalgic art from the internals of the character, to the portraits of NPCs, and the world around you, all glued to together by esoteric and atmospheric music of British Sea Power. However, not all is glowing with greatness. The game does have a few odd design choices (be sure to have 20 real at the end of day 2), the ambiguous dialogue has some holes where designers forgot to include possible branchings, and sadly the biggest letdown is the story itself, which stumbles in the third act. I have a hunch the devs either started running out of money or time, and simply had to cut things short in order to ship the game. Is it worth money, despite those flaws? Absolutely. Different ways of proceeding with your choices in the world leave enough room for new discoveries on subsequent playthroughs. There's a lot of yakking about art in videogames, and here ladies and gentlemen, is a beast of art, right in front of us, bellowing and braying in it's virile rage.
