    A revolutionary CRPG that will make you question what video games can be as an art form.

    Personally, my favorite video game (and that I haven't played a few). Its world is complex, with interesting characters and a good plot. Quite interesting and memorable, worth a try even if you don't like RPGs or games with more text than dialogue. There are parts where the text is overwhelming, yes, but it's still a game that holds a big place in my heart.

    I went into this game knowing nothing about it and came out with a new perspective on the world I live in that has stuck with me ever since. There is beauty in the sadness.

    This game is the best game I have ever played. I didn't realise video games could be like this. It was godly.
    If you like story/character/heavy questions about the shape of society and the world at large then you should try it.
    Sense of humour is required.

    Одна з самих незвичайних ігор яка просто по факту свого існування показує що маленька не ААА компанія може зробити гарту,стильну та цікаву гру з лором який лаконічно подається в геймплеї та викликає бажання знати як можна більше про саму гру.

    An amazing game that deserves to be played. I you are unable to pick it up now, do yourself a favor and pick it up when you can. It could be 5 years from now. It will still be a great game.

    Holy moly. What a game. One of the greatest role playing experiences in video games. It's gorgeous as well. At it's heart it is a detective story, but the world building is so fully realized you can get lost in every corner of the game. It's dense, dark. funny, and actually has something to say. Check it out!!!!

    A game that I thought of every day at work.
    An authentic adventure genre I've been playing for a long time!
    Super masterpiece!

    Disco Elysium is an RPG detective game (almost an interactive book), a game where instead of upgrading your character skills, you put points on growing as a person. The story starts slow but rapidly captivates you.

The story starts slow but rapidly captivates you. You start off as a nobody and you know nothing about this world and yourself and by exploring and interacting with people (whose have really captivating personalities) you start to gain a new purpose and by helping them you improve as a person. Your primary goal is to solve a murder and the game helps you relatively well regarding the next step towards your goal. The game will hit you with a lot of surprises (some good and some not really) and it's your job to make the best out of the situation. These decisions will make a big difference for the rest of the game and this game really encapsulates this mechanic like few do. Luck and interacting with the world are the main factors for the gameplay which is not my favorite, you could even say that luck is so important in this game that if you're really unlucky you could have a bad time in this game, which fortunately didn't happen to me (except when I tried the hardcore mode). Despite that it was still really clever on how to approach those two mechanics and bringing them together to capitalize on what I consider to be a success formula. There are also other interesting correlations of the world in the game with our reality that are cleverly incorporated in the game. In conclusion, Disco Elysium really takes a step further in creativity with rich ideas, characters, role-play and story-telling, where the player is actively rewarded for exploring and being a bad-ass detective.

    Хорошая текстовая игра. Из плюсов стоит отметить красивые диалоги, причем не столько с нпс, сколько внутренние, интересный лор игры, непрямолинейный основной сюжет, прикольная графика. После последнего обновления очень улучшилась работа игры, разработчикам респект. Из минусов можно отметить порой затянутые описания предметов или событий (но это очень субъективно).Хорошая текстовая игра.

    Игра конечно балдеж. Крутая и атмосферная.

    Прикольный сеттинг и стильная рисовка. Тут что-то типа стимпанка, но довольно самобытный сюжет со своей вселенной и миром. Все достаточно научно-фантастично и без магии, что мне очень понравилось. Отличный саундтрек, амбиент сильно запоминается и способствует атмосфере.

    Отличный саундтрек, амбиент сильно запоминается и способствует атмосфере.

    Также в игре довольно серьезно проработанная RPG-составляющая, хотя внятная каноничная концовка вроде бы всего одна. Тут достаточно много разных способов и путей прохождения и выполнения квестов, и за счет этого получается более менее уникальное прохождение для каждого игрока.

    В игре очень много интересных и остроумных диалогов. Местами диалоги смешные. Местами очень смешные.

    Стоит упомянуть отличную проработку почти всех персонажей игры. Практически все запомнились. А Ким вообще один из лучших напарников, которых я видел в играх.

    Вообще игра мне видится как интерактивная книжка, где можно влиять на события.

    Советую к прохождению, [9/10]

    I've heard this is a great game from people I trust. However, the Devs are communists. For real. Now they are rich communists, and I haven't heard anything about how their money is going to the proletariat. Nothing about how they haven't bought houses. Property is violence, remember.

    Don't give your money to the violent. Presuming you aren't rich, perhaps you should get this game for free. You know, "according to your needs." I'm not going to call for piracy or anything... not for me anyway... but I can tell you this: I'll never pay more than $3 for these dev's product.

    One of the most creative games I have ever played. The thought system is a wonderful gameplay mechanic that I hope gets incorporated in more RPGs of this style.

As long as you come with an open mind and patience to read, its could be the most rewarding game you have ever played. The story presented here is very human and bittersweet. The soundtrack is outstanding. Main issue with the game is that you'll find yourself saving and reloading on various rolls that you need to do to pass certain checks. This is the only way how you can experience the massive charm this world has to offer. Despite that, the game still is very enjoyable and I'd highly recommend it anyone that's nerdy or enjoys a wacky story! I look forwards to seeing what the game director does next. Expand

    Absolute masterpiece of PC RPG game. Best CRPG I have played in years. The hand drawn graphics are beautiful. But the best thing about this game is it let's you roleplay any way you want without punishing you. Wanna be a drunken, drug addicted cop who has completely given up on life, you can do that.

Or maybe you wanna play as a down on his luck recovering addict who is looking to redeem himself. The game will accommodate whatever role you want to play.

    If talk about graphics are not so good also the response time is hard to understand sometimes and talk about audio in the background is pretty much good , difficulty inceasing at different types of levels like if the roleplay you want to change take more time versus refilling the bullets in gun.

    GAMEPLAY
    The gameplay remains exactly what you know and love but the graphics and move sets have been updated for current consoles. This game has some similarities to Hades, they are comparable but they are still very different. This game is deeper, there's a parry button, stamina bar, and all of it worked so well and it's addicting as hell.
    The biggest grudge I have with this game is the bosses and weapons variety. There isn't really much weapons that really differentiate from 1 another but it is still really good to play. The bosses are pretty easy in Tier 1 but on Tier 2 it really starts to get hard. Some punishments you get (corruption) isn't exactly all bad and some just does wonders for the player but I think that was intentional. But that's pretty much the only thing I would call a negative this game has.

    Truly an amazing game for the correct gamer.

    The writing, the story, the world building and the voice acting in this game are just sublime - it sets a completely new standard for video games, in my opinion. The inner dialogue and subconsciousness constantly chattering away and giving you good or bad advice based on your stats are a thing of beauty. Very original, and a joy to explore. All the characters in the game are interesting

    Traversing 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.

    Disco 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.

    Disco 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.
