May 3, 2023I write a best games of the year article for a medium sized gaming press site.. Disco Elysium has been my game of the year for 4 years running (and that's only because I didn't play it at launch).
Perfection. -
May 8, 2021Very good game become even better with The Final Cut !
All the voicing is great. -

Apr 2, 2021Masterpiece, Obra prima, 杰作, Obra Maestra, 걸작, Chef-d'œuvre, Meisterstück, Шедевр.
In all languages present in their first game being a small studio. Thank you ZAUM Studios. -
Jan 10, 2022Finally, those looking for something that transcends the immaturity of modern gaming look no further. Beyond the tirade of rubbish that tells us being adult is about how much we kill, or how much we swear, but instead tells us being adult is about how much we think.
-
Apr 1, 2021Take a great game, give it more polish. Make it perfection. MUST. GIVE. TEN.
Come at me 0/10 reviewers, "I gave up in the middle because the story was boring" Sounds like you're "loose and falling asleep", go try some Lexapro or something because you sound depressed mate. -
Jun 6, 2022The best game ever made. Just that. Sound, pictures, story, humor, combat, simply amazing.

Apr 2, 2021Absolute masterpiece of PC RPG game. If you want dive into psychology of character you shape through the game, don't hesitate and give it a try.
-
Nov 26, 2021Masterpiece! I was really amazed with gameplay, so refreshing. Music, Storytelling, Graphics, everything about Disco Elysium is awesome! Zaum, please make more!
-
Jul 18, 2022Masterpiece. Some games are about gameplay. Some are about word building, even adventuring. This is about humanity and art. But don't let that discourage you. I think this can be enjoyed by anyone. That's why it's a masterpiece.
-
Apr 10, 2021To sum it up: Everyone loves the game except the usual butthurt morons that smell communist propaganda.
-
Jan 4, 2022Disco infernum. It is a poem written to the dispossessed. I've already played twice and gone to a third playthrough.
-
Jun 12, 2021Bar none the best RPG I've ever played. If you don't mind reading you should get it asap.
-
Jun 25, 2022One of the greatest games I've ever played. The developers really put a lot of foresight into making everything feel interconnected and make the impact of your actions and your thought cabinet feel important. The game has both moments of genuine hilarity but also deep sadness.
-

-
Apr 1, 2021One of the best scripts I've ever read. Well written, with political overtones and high-quality voice acting. The best RPG in the last ten years.
-

Apr 24, 2021Very good game. Great, funny dialogue. Good well fleshed out characters. Gripping story. A near flawless rpg.
-
Apr 7, 2021Incredibly good, great story and innovative gameplay twists. Go become a detective!
-
Jun 20, 2021This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
-
Apr 12, 2021One of the best narrative experiences I ever had. The story, the characters, the classic RPG gameplay, all in a complex and rich world with lots and lots of lore to explore. Game of the year... every year
-
Feb 3, 2023Planescape: Torment was ashamed only for the past
In Disco Elysium, you are ashamed of the past, future, present, and even your own appearance and material condition.
A must for all CRPG fans. This is a phenomenal work, script and art master piece -
Apr 7, 2021one of the best rpgs I've played in the last decade its definitely not for everyone but it is definitely the game for me
-
Apr 6, 2022Amazing worldbuilding(history, beliefs), memorable characters, dives into human existence like not a single game i have ever played before. Has some bugs and minor gameplay flaws, but still a 10/10.
-
Aug 12, 2021When I first started playing the game had pretty massive bugs. Ones that would normally make me drop it. But I didn't. I couldn't. It's just so gooood! Also, I keep thinking about it and I'm gonna have to go back.
-
Apr 1, 2021Still one of the best rpgs ever created, but now its more accessible. .

Jul 21, 2021После этой игры, большинство разговоров в других играх вам покажутся скучными, неинтересными.
-
Aug 26, 2023This was was such a wonderfull surprise to me, its a bit text heavy, but overall it is an amazing story, a true role play game. memorable chracters, insane good dialogues, great music, something that touches your soul. This is what i have been missing in the video game industry. Loved this game!
-
Aug 16, 2021Brilliant game.
A CRPG that demands you take your time with it. Don't go in expecting any action. I wouldn't say it's a point and click game either. No pixel hunting or trying to combine random items together.
Strong, strong writing and voice acting. Memorable characters. Rich world building and lore. Beautiful looking artwork. -
May 26, 2021Up there with the best games ever made. If the vanilla version was a 9, the final cut is without a doubt a 10. Deep, engaging, entertaining and beautiful.
-
Apr 9, 2022The best game ever made. The writing is some of the best that you will find EVER, not just in games. It's incredibly detailed and the world truly feels like it exist. All of it's plot elements end up naturally weaving together to produce a beautiful tale. It's funny, it's tragic, it's politically smart, it's a living superstar. Play this before you die
-

Dec 7, 2021The best RPG game ever. Final Cut is absolute amazing. This is more an interactive and fascinating book with amazing voice actors, art style and music, than a classical game. Love it!
-
Apr 10, 2021An interactive book with interesting ideas, touching politics and psychology among other things. Many different choices add a great amount of replay value.
Keep in mind, this game is all about reading and the writing is really good and engaging. I can't imagine myself missing on this experience. -
Jan 2, 2023Застрелился - показал бандитам, кто тут главный.
Рекомендую. -
May 18, 2021One of the best, if not the best RPG of all time. The negative reviews are absurd so if you want a really fun time, go read some of those after you've played the game :)
-
Apr 2, 2021Necesitamos más juegos así, están hecho con mucho detalle y cariño, no es un juego para correr, si no pars disfrutar de la aventura.
-
Apr 2, 2021This album is amazing. I'm so proud of you Demi. Ilysm
-
Apr 2, 2021One of the best games I have ever played and the pinnacle of the term "Role Playing". Your character is a blank slate, chose how much of a maniac or how genuinely "lost at sea" you want him to be. The dialogue and actions you can take in this had me laughing all the way through. Easiest 10/10 I will ever give.

Apr 14, 2021This game was the one of the best games i ever played in my life... it was a such a unique experience and i don't think there will be a any game like this ever again

May 21, 2021One of the best art styles I've seen. The game is a dialog-based RPG and gives plenty of details awaiting for gamers to seek.
-
Jun 3, 2021An absolute perfect game for anyone with the time to explore the world and its many hours of branching stories. A unique gaming experience like no other worth every minute of dialogue.
-

Sep 13, 2021Might be hard to get into for some people but the clever writing and unique atmosphere makes it easily one of the best and most clever video games ever created. Be careful playing, it contains some really heavy themes.
-
Sep 28, 2021The worst thing about this game is it's 30 hours long instead of 100. For me, this is a masterpiece. One of the best games ever made. Everything in this game is special. It's inspiring, it's touching, it's real man. This is storytelling at it's finest. This game

Oct 29, 2021A beautifully created world with characters who open up evenly, in whom you believe, with whom you want to make friends. Musically and stylistically beautiful.

May 17, 2023Incredible story and voice acting. Truly a mysterious game that hooks you in. Highly recommend.

Jan 8, 2022i loved disco elysium from the first moment i started the game until the end. don't listen to boring people who say its not good or the game is weird and hard etc. its one of the best RPG games i have played recently.
-
Dec 7, 2021Great RPG, but RPG it's not the main idea.
The idea of this - it's a good interesting story with great dialogs and brilliant characters. I love it -
Dec 8, 2021Communist propaganda garbage. Totally worth playing. Glad Steam let me finish this.

Feb 25, 2022Стать коммунистом чтобы скоммуниздить еду у бомжей? Однозначно 10 из 10

Nov 15, 2022after years and years of playing RPG games that didn't care about your choices or had bad stories finally i find a game that has a great story, music, voice acting, and gameplay, I'm in love with this game
-
Jan 18, 2022One of the most unique and best written games ever made. I feel nostalgia for the characters weeks after playing it.
-
Nov 1, 2022Who says I am all around gamer then needs to play this game as well. Otherwise, you miss a great masterpiece. Fantastic game with soundtracks. Sorry to hear what happens inside ZAUM. Hopefully, game makers will get what they deserve. KIM

Apr 14, 2022Best RPG ever made. So many details, so immersive, feels smooth, looks beautiful. It truly is an experience that wants to have fun and spoils you. This product was made for your enjoyment.
-
May 12, 2022Perhaps the game that has influenced me the most as a person. Left me as an empty shell after finishing it.
-
May 28, 2022This game was absolutly mindblowing. So avant garde and experimental yet so polished and thought out! The main mystery is intriguing, the characters are charming, and the visuals of the game are no less then stunning.
-
Jun 11, 2022This game was like living in a novel collaboratively written by Dostoevsky and George Orwell, if they were both alive in the late 70's and doing a whole bunch of coke with Soul Train blaring in the background.
Not a lot of things are like that.
Much appreciated. -
Jul 18, 2022So far, the best game I have ever played, if you measure emotions while playing the game, it will appeal to those who care about the plot and the history of the world, and then the gameplay. -1 point because I think that the movement in the world, and the skill system could be done better.
-
Jun 25, 2022Best game ever played
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa -
Nov 4, 2022if you see negative comment probably iq cant enough this game

Dec 4, 2022This Is the best game I've ever found. If you didn't play this game sit down and take a deep breath. Because you are going to have one hell of a ride!

Oct 2, 2022It's hard to describe the amount of praise I want to give this game, so I'll just call it beautiful, hilarious and tender. Those three words come up closest to heart when I think of it. Makes you laugh, then reflect on its greater loudness and length compared to how other games make you laugh. This comes at the cost of making you cry at various points as well.
-
Oct 5, 2022Disco Elysium is a masterpiece in video game writing and worldbuilding. The characters are unforgettable, the RPG elements refreshingly original, and the score strikes a deeply melancholic but hopeful tone that perfectly reflects the bleak city of Revachol. There is truly nothing like this game out there and I'd strongly recommend it for anyone who loves narrative-driven titles.
-
Jan 21, 2023masterpiece on its own. the main point is to play your own game with your unique approach
-
Nov 14, 2022Communist propaganda garbage. Not worth playing. Glad Steam has a refund policy.
-
Nov 16, 2022a game that attracts even people who don't like this genre
but you get bored after a while, still a good game, the kind that you can finish in one breath :) -
Jan 11, 2023Must-Play masterpiece. if you're a fan of planescape torment or enjoy reading a lot you will love this game
10/10 -

May 13, 2023The best game ever. Story is good as a feelings after complete it. highly recommended.
-
May 25, 2023Perfect writing.
Perfect soundtrack.
Good rpg system.
Unique, breathtaking plot, comparable to best movies/books.
Mediocre gameplay and gamedesign. As a game it can be sometimes boring and irritating.
Despite huge number of dialogue options, quests and game itself lack of endings and variability. -
Jun 9, 2023One of the few 10/10 I have experienced in 20 years of gaming.
its all you could ever hope for in a game in this genre. Unique, beautiful, gorgeous music and storytelling you will not find in modern games anymore. So much love went into this game.
One of the few must plays. -

Jul 7, 2023Masterpiece. Very sarcastic and at the same moment tragic. Just beautiful. High literature stuff.

Oct 15, 2021Traversing the mind of your character is as much a plot as the case you’re trying to solve, and once you’re immersed into the world of Revachol, you’ll be struggling to leave.
-
Jun 18, 2021Disco Elysium – The Final Cut is something rare. It’s a re-issued version of an already-beloved game, that manages to eclipse the source material through clever and thoughtful additions that maximise one of the game’s most beautiful assets: its prose. But more than that, it’s the only CRPG that can truly claim to emulate the tabletop experience—not through adherence to statistics or rules or character sheets, but through the simple act of asking questions, and thoughtfully incorporating the answers.
-
Apr 28, 2021Disco Elysium has a distinctive quality to its narrative, whether it's the interesting history of its world, or the mysteries surrounding the investigation, not to mention the depth and uniqueness of the many characters. It's one of the greatest story-driven experiences we've ever seen.
