    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.

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.

    ALSO, a part that legitimately pissed me off, there's a part towards the end of the game (and maybe some other parts) that gives you a check that you are unable to pass no matter what, I started an entirely new playthrough around that final check only for me to find out the unfortunate truth.

    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

    This 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.

    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.

    If watching a trailer or review of Disco Elysium leaves you even remotely interested in this game, buy it.

    Much like a good candle, it's a slow burn, and is at it's best when fired up during a quiet evening in. I say this because in order to fully appreciate the experience on offer, you must allow yourself to get immersed. Mind you, the games narrator Lenval Brown, makes this an easy

I say this because in order to fully appreciate the experience on offer, you must allow yourself to get immersed. Mind you, the games narrator Lenval Brown, makes this an easy task as he delivers a captivating performance from start to finish. So much so, that it would be rude to skip any of games dialogue.

    The dialogue is smart and well-written, rewarding those that engage with it fully and take the time to listen. Personally, I would have preferred a portion of the games main story beats to take a slightly different path, and found some dialogue sections feeling a bit convoluted, however this does not take away from the overall experience of the game.

    I must admit that seeing the end credits of a game has become somewhat of a rare occurrence these days, with many games feeling bloated and uninspired, however Disco Elysium kept my attention throughout, all the way to the end.

I liked how they have skills and the skills are like different personas that talk to you in game, it added a whole new dynamic on skills. As for the bad though. The writing can be hit or miss. When the writing is good it is really good, but at other times it reeks of the game designers smelling their own farts and thinking they have created some kind of masterpiece because of their murderous political ideology. The political ideologies in the game are stupid. Thinking private companies should follow the law is considered "Fascist", it borders on Communist propaganda. Nazi ideology in real life is actually no different then Communist ideology, one just makes things about race while the other makes it about a Marxist definition of class. Where they always portray the Communists as the good guys even though they are clearly the bad guys. They even force you at times to work with the Commies even though you don't want to. They also force you to change clothes mid conversation just to pass checks. Even though some checks in the game are impossible. They also punish you for playing a nazi, by taking your health or morale away from you, which again reeks of the game developers smelling their own farts and trying to force you into certain decisions. If you are just going to punish players then why have the option of playing nazi. If you can get over the Commie propaganda and just play the game for what it is. It isn't bad. But it isn't game of the year material. It is a okay story visual novel game. Expand

    Beklediğim kadar ayılıp bayılmadım ama sevdim. Dili, edebiyatı, belirlediğimiz özelliklerle kendi kafamızda konuşmamız, bu özelliklerin vakaları çözmemize etkisi, ana gizem ve yan hikayeler epey başarılıydı.

    Ben birazcık daha aklı başında oynadım karakteri ama isteyen deli gibi bir şey de yapabiliyor.

    Oyunun geçtiği dünyanın sosyoekonomik durumu çok iyi yansıtılmış. Herifler üşenmeyip uzun uzun tarih yazmışlar. Oyundaki tüm ideolojiler ve yapılanmalar kötüye kullanılıyor, yozlaşmış ve bunlarla dalga geçiliyor. Siz de iş çözme niyetinde olan birisi olarak bazen istemeye istemeye bunlarla işbirliği yapıyorsunuz.

    Oyunda aldığınız kararlar, eylemleriniz, bulduğunuz şeyler, birisiyle belli bir diyaloğu gerçekleştirmiş olmanız falan sonraki olayları epey derinden etkiliyor. Diyaloglar da bu bakımdan çok çeşitleniyor. Oyun text olarak sizin eylemlerinize karşılık veriyor.

    Beğenmediğim bazı şeyler var. İlki perk sistemi. Saatlerce beklediğiniz bir geliştirmenin istatistiklerinizi olumsuz etkilediğini ve bunu silmek için beceri puanı harcamak gerektiğini görmek can sıkıcı.

    İkincisi zaman geçmiyor. Diyaloğa girmediğiniz sürece zamanı ilerletmenin bir yolu yok. Sırf bu nedenle kayıp silahımı almak için buluşmaya gidemedim.

    Bazen aynı yerleri tekrar tekrar yürümek sıkabiliyor. Bir de nesnelerle etkileşime geçmek problemli, karakterin belli bir noktaya gelip orada durması gerekiyor.

    Neticede bazılarının dediği gibi tarihin en iyi rpg'si mi emin değilim. Dedektiflik oyunları pek hoşuma gitmediği için o kadar sevmemiş olabilirim ama yine de iyi oyun.

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

As possibilidades são tantas que é legal guardar alguns saves para testar diferentes possibilidades. E dessa forma o fator replay é fortíssimo nesse game.

    Dublagem e atuação muito bem feitas, os personagens passam muito bem a emoção das situações vividas.
    O roteiro é fora de série, é um mundo fictício extremamente imersivo, minunciosamente detalhado e envolvente. São entrelaçadas várias histórias junto da principal, recomendo muito que façam as missões secundárias. Além de ser complementar a história principal (em alguns casos), são histórias muito interessantes.
    A trilha sonora melancólica combina com o estado emocional do protagonista e da cidade em si.
    O gráfico é bacana, os personagens não são tão detalhados, mas o estilo artístico em geral é bem bonito.
    O fast travel é travado em certos locais. Poderia ser mais livre, evitaria de ficar andando atoa as vezes.

    Very unique gameplay elements and a mysterious atmosphere. However, there's way too much dialog and you will spend most of the time reading through dialog. The ending was a major disappointment.

    + Good Story with lots of different ways to approach it (especially if you like the depressive tone)
    + Atmospheric visuals and audio
    + Unique characters with interesting world views
    - Most of the game is walking and talking which becomes a drag sometimes
    - Overcrowded skill menu that takes some time to get into

The game is well written, the jokes are catchy and I think it is one of those rare cases when you can objectively call the game funny. You do not have to be into politics to enjoy the political side of the game, which in itself is broad and can be explored to multiple extremes. Character creation and development and player's impact on the world is notable and satisfying.

    If this did not convince you the game is possibly not for you and that's fine. I do not think it is worth trying the game if you are not willing to immerse yourself in it. If you feel otherwise- it might be one of the best experiences of your life.

У автора один архетип на каждого.
    Диско Элизиум игрой то назвать сложно. Скорее интерактивная скучная нудная подробная книга с иллюстрациями и музыкой на фоне. От вас немного тут зависит - на старте игры выбираете куда вкинуть очки из 4 веток, что дальше будет по большей части всё решать. Остаётся лишь откинуться и ролить косточки, читать тучу текста, о местах, которых не знаешь, о мире, который сильно проработали, но его даже не существует в реальности.
    Парень с DTF, написавший положительный обзор на игру, наиграл в первый раз в запой 6 часов. И я тоже, однако счастлив не остался, просто мне показалось, что каждая фраза в игре важна и что нельзя её пропускать, но на деле - 80 процентов фраз - чёртова графомания, от которой зевать не перестаёшь. И игра просто сосёт из тебя время, как "хорошая книга". Настолько реалистичное погружение испортило веселье.
    Похвалить можно лишь необычные иллюстрации, речь не о стилистике "картина маслом", это как раз уродливо, а о необычных похожих на психологические портреты и сюрреалистичные картины иллюстрации отражающие черты характера героя. Второй плюс, ролевая составляющие в виде выбора фраз в своём стиле и одежда изменяющая статы. Жаль, первое сделано неидеально и я не имел выбора в одном из случаев в игре, где герой вместо меня сказал, что девушка катается на карусели х$ёв
    В общем игра была многообещающей в начале, я просто не знал, что на самом деле это была книга.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disco Elysium has its ups and downs. However, I would like to mention that I have had the pleasure of curving towards its upsides. This title is incredible for players who fancy a bit of reading during their gameplay, as well as a tint of mystery, and, surprisingly, human relationships. If one is that type of person, then I would genuinely recommend them to try this game out, and if it turns out not to be their cup of tea, I would understand it, truly. In my humble opinion, the game's main plot makes a lot of sense, and is mostly captivating, if not for the quite rash, and seemingly lacking ending it ends up with. It might be just my impression, but oh well. The dialogues feel really solid. Every single character in the world of Disco Elysium feels different. Everyone has their own motives, as well as some biases. It only adds on to the experience. So, overall, I would recommend this game, if only to try it out just for an hour or two. I did, and I fell in love with it. 8/10 Expand

    Definitely not for everyone. I played a few hours and found it mind-numbingly boring, beyond a few funny gags. And one of my favorite games of all time is Pathologic, so I don't mind lots of reading. All the characters and dialog here just seem either boring or annoying. Just not seeing the appeal.

    Disco 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.

    I played the game and it was definitely one of the worst and boring games I've ever seen and I deleted it. It's not a game, it's more like an e-book.

    First of all, this is not an open world game. I have no idea how it can be marketed like this, have the makers ever seen an open world game? The NPCs do nothing but sleep at night and the world is a small and frankly empty map. It's static
    I played the game and it was definitely one of the worst and boring games I've ever seen and I deleted it. It's not a game, it's more like an e-book.

    First of all, this is not an open world game. I have no idea how it can be marketed like this, have the makers ever seen an open world game? The NPCs do nothing but sleep at night and the world is a small and frankly empty map. It's static and dead and never changes. It's not even a world, let alone an open world.

    It's not a real RPG either. Yes, you have stats and inventory and dice rolls, but that's it. Also, these are just game mechanics, there's a skill tree and inventory like in a lot of games, but they don't make a game an RPG game, and there's no real choice, because the whole difference is tied to dialog options, which you'll click on anyway, further destroying the role-playing part, and for a lot of things, choosing to do something will actually be a dice roll, and the mechanics of retrying the roll are overly complicated and too overwhelming to take the time.

    No matter what you do, you'll be dragged towards a single ending, which makes sense since it's a murder mystery, but as a player you have no choice, the only real choice is at the character creation screen, and from that point on it's pretty much set how you're going to play the next 30-40 hours of the game, which is filled with dialog just to drag it out.

    Yes, you can click on options in dialog windows, but the game will decide for you whether that happens or not, and it will mostly depend on your character's stats and some modifiers. Yes, again, it's an RPG mechanic, but as a player, you don't really get to choose anything or do anything.

    An example of a game where your choices really matter would be Detroit Become Human. Or even Witcher 3. Disco Elysium is nowhere near that level, Detroit is already not an RPG game, Witcher 3 is not a pure RPG, but supposedly Disco Elysium was marketed as open world and a pure RPG, but it's not even half as successful as those games.

    In short, Disco Elysium is not a game to be played even if it's free. I never understood what they liked about this game. It is one of the most overrated games of recent years.

    This is really hard. Disco Elysium brings a ton of positive things to gaming that haven't been done before. Splitting your personality to 16 different traits each representing inner monologues and aiding in RPG choice making is brilliant. Of course, its mostly used for the former - constantly and excessively - and not much in the latter. The monologues are rarely brilliant, usually drearyThis is really hard. Disco Elysium brings a ton of positive things to gaming that haven't been done before. Splitting your personality to 16 different traits each representing inner monologues and aiding in RPG choice making is brilliant. Of course, its mostly used for the former - constantly and excessively - and not much in the latter. The monologues are rarely brilliant, usually dreary and exhausting. There's a constant attempt at humor, it misses with me, and worse yet, ruins the immersion. Maybe its someone else's cup of tea. The RPG choice making well, Disco Elysium is the perfect example of illusion of choice. There is SOME choice for sure, but not much. And the promise of the excellent personality system is not utilized whatsoever.

    The story, the world, the writing are pretty good for video games. For video games. It hardly reaches levels of classical literature. And it often strikes a tone that repulses me. I like the focus on politics, and its handles with subtlety, though again underutilized to say anything particularly meaningful.

    Overall, I can see for a medium like video games that people think this is something exceptional. But I found it a slog.

Outstanding gameplay. Outstanding everything. I love this game. I may be a simp but. I don´t care. It´s the best game I ever played.
    As I mentioned, the design is lovely. The Painted style complements the message and the mood just perfectly. The artists where able to combine disgust and beauty into one large painting with a wide variety of colors. And thanks to the quite simple graphics the game performs pretty well.
    The Story is outstanding but blends in with the equally exceptional side quests resulting in a even better environmental story telling than Elden Ring. With all the little detail in the world and in the dialogues ZA/UM just made an overloaded game, which doesn't feel overloadet at all. It feels like the game would try to male you think about everything in life and it kinda does. which feels great if you're open to it. But I understand that not everyone is. Especially when you game because you want to escape the real worlds problems.
    The gameplay might also be a downer for some. It's sloooowwww paced and based on RNG. I heard some players complain about not hitting their 3% chance... . If you are one of those you should not buy this game. But I really enjoyed this classic RPG style gameplay.
    But at the end of the day I think you should try it yourself. Buy it on sale at steam. If it doesn't catch you in the first two hours you can still return it.

    Considering this is the first game made by ZA/UM following studios and publishers should be ashamed: Ubsioft, Activision, EA, Dice, Treyarch, Infinity Ward, NuClearVision, CDProject Red and basically everyone else because Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is considered the best PC-Game of all time and still is the first game ever made by ZA/UM.

    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.
