    Video games that mark an era or become an essential reference in their respective genres are quite rare. Disco Elysium is one of those games and it is easy to understand why it has won many prestigious awards. The first title from the studio ZA/UM and Robert Kurvitz is a C-RPG masterpiece. It is a perfect embodiment of what a tabletop role-playing game should look like. Indeed, it offers a substantial lore, captivating NPCs, a mature, solid and coherent scenario no matter which way you go, a crazy amount of freedom in roleplay, the famous dice rolls and finally, a “game master” with an exceptional narrative power. The inclusion of the video game medium transcends the experience thanks to a singular and bewitching graphic aesthetic and soundtrack. Moreover, its adaptation on consoles, at least on the Xbox Series, does not taint the picture too much. However, Disco Elysium will not be enjoyed by those allergic to reading as it contains thousands of sentences or for fans of fight scenes since there are none here. For the others, this game really deserves to be played for several hours in order to really understand what you are doing. In the end, you may not like it, but if you get hooked, Disco Elysium becomes a unique experience that leaves you breathless once the adventure is over.

    I had the game for the PS5, but didn't finish it before I sold it. I recently received an older xbox one and bought it as soon as I knew itI had the game for the PS5, but didn't finish it before I sold it. I recently received an older xbox one and bought it as soon as I knew it was on sale. Not because I absolutely loved the game, but because I felt it was a game I could get into if I invested the time. So glad I did. If you like a narrative story, than this is for you. The narrator spoke over 300,000 words and that is just his voice. There are a ton of other NPC's that speak as well. But this game would be nothing if these words were boring or even normal. The choices of things to say can be a lot of fun and the game encourages you to pick the strange answers...and sometimes you are actually rewarded. The game has a fun story to tell and wants you to go on the ride with them. If you don't like cerebral, but goofy games, then stay away. I enjoyed every twist and every turn of this narrative rollercoaster.… Full Review »

    Do you like to read? If yes, than this game is for you, because that's like 90% of the game and 10% is picking answers while readingDo you like to read? If yes, than this game is for you, because that's like 90% of the game and 10% is picking answers while reading questions/answers. The game then rolls the dice and depending on the outcome you pass or fail the check. Fail enough times (3) and it's game over. It's like 80's text rpg all over again, minus the suspense of not seeing anything. Maybe the developer should have stuck to writing books, because that's basically what this is: an interactive novel with table top rpg elements.… Full Review »
