极乐迪斯科

I started playing Disco Elysium, and I initially thought it was sort of cool, until I very rapidly realized that it's really just a much more complicated and darker version of an old DOS game from the early 1990s called "Martian Memorandum". I found myself skipping over the dialogue, as it becomes very tedious very quickly. You're constantly being kvetched at by a big, deep baritone man's voice, with an annoying British accent. There's a lot of profanity, which I don't mind, but its use in this game is sort of childish and tries too hard to be "hip" by overusing it. There is too much text and endless conversation choices to click on. The game is also very slow, and new tasks are endlessly added. The leveling system is incredibly peculiar and ridiculous, and the overall atmosphere of the game is very dark, depressing, and nihilistic. The main character is hopelessly weak and pathetically fragile, and one of my games actually suddenly ended after two days of playing, when all he did was read a letter. No kidding. The main character actually instantly DIED only because he read a letter that was upsetting to him. I laughed out loud, gave up, and removed the game from my hard drive. Bear in mind, this is supposed to be a police officer, but he's the weakest, whiniest, and most unmanly cop you've ever seen. A minor insult can literally kill him, or send him into a mental hospital. As a player, I got sort of tired of the constant low self-esteem, insults, and crybaby whining of the narrating, as well as the atmosphere of hopelessness and self-loathing, and the game's childish political correctness. The game screeches out every profane word in the universe, but it censors the word "f*ggot". Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. I love Witcher 3 and RPGs in general, but this game is just tiring, sort of silly, and disturbing in a non-fun way.

Seemed like a Point and click School lecture that went on entirely far too long.

i played for 10 hours and wanted to like it but i had to refund it in the end. the plot moves at a glacial pace, what few actual mechanics the game does have serve only to hinder the already terribly slow progress, and the frequent interruptions that served only to spout endless exposition had me resentful of the writing. this game is a glorified dialogue simulator, the absolute last thing i should feel about it is that the writers are wasting my time all the while boring and frustrating me to fucking tears. maybe disco elysium would have been a better book; it certainly wouldn't have been as aggravating if i didn't have to play it.

Best RPG I've played since The Witcher 3, though it is a very different rpg. Seriously incredible.

Not a bad game but.. meh.. This is truly not a game for anyone. I would say it has a VERY niche target. I did not like the performance: really no fps limit? i am burning my rtx 3080 at 240 fps.. The voices are okay but not spectacular, the dialogues are MANY, so MUCH text to read, so MUCH info.. it gets annoying really quick. I think i put like 6 hours in the game and i will not going to play it again ever.
