The G.O.A.T i went fully blind on this Game and i wish to forget everthing about this game to feel like is the first time.
First: the game show his Beauty with his art a potrait of mighty revachol with the amazing display of color and design showing that you are in for a ride.
Second: The plot is as simplex and complex as itself is a murder and you need to find who did it but you have on big key issue, you are recently broken amnesia man who have drink and drugs abuse and your voices sometimes dont provide the best solutions of advice.

como pode um jogo baseado no simples fato de LER ser tao absurdamente bom vtnccccccccccc
It's like someone took the dialogue trees from Bioware games and made a dark RPG under a noir filter!
And it plays better than you'd think. There's no tutorial. There's no action gunplay. The "game" is figuring out how this seedy world works! It's stilly. It's dark. It's artistic. And it might be one of the most unique experiences around.

The greatest narrative game ever made
Esse jogo é uma montanha russa de sentimentos, num momento você esta rindo de um alcóolatra arrebentando um pássaro e no outro você esta se tornando Walter White, que outro jogo permite isso?
Inclusive, cuidado com ventiladores.

one and a half years later from the date my friend and i finished playing this game i received a dm from them that stated, "aria i think you were right about the ending". you'd be hard pressed to find media like that anymore
Simply one of the best RPGs ever made
Well….. It’s my favourite game. Thanks!
it really is that good
no way! communism!
Melhor jogo de todos os tempos.
I feel weird talking about and reviewing Disco Elysium when there's so much left of the game that I clearly haven't discovered. This is a game that warrants 3 or 4 playthroughs but mustering up the motivation to play it more than this one time will be difficult.
Every single interaction is perhaps the most well-written, most fleshed out character writing I've ever seen in not just a video game, but any medium. and 85% of it is completely frivolous to the actual plot of the game, but it was my favorite stuff. The church, cursed bookstore and cryptozoologist sidequests were my favorite. Having full voice acting for nearly every line in the game is a spectacular feat. I felt as if I could spend hours just talking to one person. Which I did.
The only downside I can really cite is that I felt compelled to actually listen to all the voice lines (since they were so good) which actively slowed down the pace of the game a lot. The game could have been as short as I wanted it to be, but I constantly wanted to see what people had to say about new items I picked up or other events happening in the world. It's a good flaw to have.
As a roleplaying game, I find it intensely fascinating that you're put into the body of this absolute piece of shit. You're always being asked to interact with others who are blatantly racist, nationalist or are just bad people, victims of circumstance. And as a player, you're asked to see things from their perspective. Not agree with them, but understand them enough to get the information out of them that you need to. The most emotionally effective but worst thing the game asks you to do is when you have three dialogue options and they're all just horrible. Things you would never say ever. But your character absolutely would. And you have to choose one. It makes you act and do things you would never otherwise do, even if it's just a game. And it's extremely effective at putting you into the shoes of the detective.
I can confidently say I understand why Disco Elysium has the high reputation it has. Even if it can be a bit unwieldy at times, I love it all the same. It's unlike any experience with a piece of art I've ever had.

A masterpiece of dialogue and engaging storytelling. Genuinely insane how fantastic this game is.
Ótimo jogo, o ponto mais alto é a narrativa. A ambientação, arte e trilha sonora são muiiito bons também. Mas sei lá, cansei de ficar lendo por horas e horas a fio. Perdi o interesse
I’ve been putting off on the choice on whether I want a “review” of sorts to even exist for this game, because I genuinely don’t think that any number of words will ever be enough to completely describe why I love Disco Elysium so much, nor will my slightly complicated history with the game be ever fully explained, either.
Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You'll get it in the next life, where you don't make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you're alive.

On my second playthrough on PS5, the technical issues were mostly less present (barring some annoying persistent bugs); the loading times were quick and it ran very well. I had honestly forgotten just how good this game is; the dialogue quality is truly the best I’ve ever witnessed in any game, ever. It’s funny, hopeful, depressing, and melancholic all at once, and I loved it.
Damn you greedy bastards at ZA/UM for firing the devs and ruining any chance at a sequel.

This mostly lived up to the hype. Fantastic writing, voice acting and music. Something was off about the dev's exploration of politics though.
Rather than feeling like the game treated each political ideology equal in its mockery, it felt like it had a soft heart for communism in particular. These reddit comments concisely articulated what I was wondering while playing the game.
