Too many gameplay mechanics are not fully thought out, not playtested enough, you can feel the game is missing a lot (especially when it comes to the duration of the main story as well as the amount of side content). At the end of it all, it's both too big (mechanically and conceptualy) and too small - Including the ending which comes out of nowhere in a point that I could have sworn was the 2/3rds of the story. Unfortunately, the longer you play the more you see the game is bursting under its' own weight. All of it is perfectly accented by the wonderful soundtrack and excellent art design.

I never thought I would see such sophisticated tone in a video game: At surface level it's absurd and grotesque, but, on a closer inspection, intelligent and reflective, full of critical, witty nostalgia and sorrowful reverie. Its' excellent dialogue, razor-sharp writing, astonishingly well constructed setting, serious themes (politics, culture, philosophy, art, violence and power projection, imperialism, nationalism, class struggle, disco music) and its' ability to treat the player as an intelligent, mature person who knows who Karl Marx was and why was he so funny are a sight to behold. It's one of the best written, most touching and beautiful games I ever played. It's one of the best Disco Elysium is the most flawed masterpiece I ever played but dear gods, isn't it a masterpiece nevertheless. Its my favorite game I played in 2019 and a #P4P great! … Expandĭisco Elysium is the most flawed masterpiece I ever played but dear gods, isn't it a masterpiece nevertheless. If you can handle that, then this game should just straight up floor you. Warning though, there is no combat in this game, its all dialouge choices and rolls of dice on encounters, I adored this game, but I couldn't play it for more than 1-2 hours at a time, since about 80% of what you're doing in this game is reading. At the very least, the straight up bad ones have strong writing to back them up and also not every single line in disco elysium is voice acted. Sometimes its really good, sometimes its fine, and sometimes its straight up bad. Soundtrack is solid, voice acting is a mixed bag though. The story is fantastic, and nearly all of the side quests you can do have some level of depth to them making nearly all of them worth doing. And since your dialouge is based on the stats that you choose at the beginning on the game, there is a fair amount of room for replayabilty. The dialouge choices you have are seemingly endless and for sure endlessly entertaining. Whether you're trying to do the right thing and solving cases, or if you're being a corrupt bastard yelling at everyone and taking advantage of people, or you're a superstar communist cop who won't stop telling people hes a super star cop and also a communist. The choices you have for yourself really truly make you feel like you are forging your own character, youre own path. This game knows exactly when to be serious and when not to take itself seriously.

This game can literally be heartbreakingly tragic, and **** hilarious without there being massively bad tonal shifts. Topics like, politics, racism, depression, alcoholism, mortality, greed and a bunch more to boot. And it covers so many subjects without mucking it up either. It is so goddamn intelligent it is actually rediculous. And it This game has probably the best writing I have seen in a game this decade.
