  1. They forgot to mention its a world built on fantastic communistic ideas that has now collapsed under the weight of these same radical ideas, with it's streets now filled with the broken spirited and poor people struggling with high crime on one side, and on the other side the capitalistic docks unapologetically, working making money, surviving and thriving lol

  2. "Disco Elysium plays like no other video game I've ever seen. It's closest analogue is perhaps the outstanding Divinity: Original Sin 2."

    I disagree with it being close to D:OS2 in how it plays. D:OS2 has a strong focus on turn-based combat, positioning, tactics, manipulating the environment, and skills primarily focus on improving combat ability. On the other hand, Disco Elysium's focus is on characters, dialogue, solving the mystery of who you are, and the gameplay/skills primarily influence how conversations/dialogue plays out. The closest game to DE is probably Planescape: Torment. In that game you also wake up with amnesia and the primary mystery and focus of the story is learning about your past and who are you. While there is real-time with pause (RTWP) combat in PS:T, the primary focus and gameplay is on narrative and dialogue. Raising your stats in the game can have a big impact on dialogue options in the game, similar to DE.

  3. This is the best PC game I've played in a decade. As a long time gamer is wonderful to find something so magical again.

  4. I like the concept but the dialogue feels boring, long and/or difficult to understand half the time if you're a non native english speaker. I would also like more animations and voice over. it's like reading a book most of the time, you have to imagine things rather than seeing them happen. 9,6 is a really high score, it means that it's almost a masterpiece which i don't think it is.

  5. Wow, 100% consenus on this Review, IGN never thought you can pull that Off. Maybe they gave the Game to an intern for a review, because it wasnt a triple A Game.
