This is the only game that I can look at and say "Yeah, it's pretty much perfect" and fucking MEAN IT. Absolutely brilliant writing, some of the best in gaming and maybe even all of fiction, topped off with a super unique style that I find myself coming back to every time without fail. Disco Elysium is my favorite game of all time. It's not even a competition, it's a total landslide victory.
INFINITY/10, if somehow ZA/UM makes a game better than Disco Elysium, I don't think I'd be able to function anymore.

This game is an interesting case of something with glaring flaws that are not fixed but rather circumvented with other factors. The tropey anime crap feels a bit more like what a bunch of dumb teens would do to pass the time in a small, lifeless town. Maybe that's just cope to justify my contradictory love for this game and lack of love for other Persona titles, but the small-town setting and small-town problems get to me, and the characters feel about as close to real as an Atlus game is gonna get.
Persona 4 isn't a game that is exempt from my criticisms simply because it's charming, I still think the gameplay is really unengaging, but that's okay. I don't play Persona games, and really RPGs as a whole, for the gameplay primarily.

I can't really put into a proper sentence how cool this game, so lemme use random words.
Lysergic acid diethylamide cocaine ketamine schizoid psycho blood n guts shoot em blast em slice em dice em spray n pray slide n glide bullshit stupid insanity.
I was also in the top 400 and I think I'm still in the top 500 because I was addicted to this game for two weeks. I'll probably never regain that glory ever again, but I thought it was awesome that I'm so high on the leaderboards and that I'm actually fucking GOATed wit da sauce.

If you aren't accustomed to Suda51's way of presenting his games and his way of storytelling, then this game probably isn't for you. Take away the Suda charm, and this is a boring walking simulator with dumb puzzles and weird characters. But to those that enjoy Suda, this is, in my opinion, one of the best narratives that Suda has ever written. Still, the walking is paaaaaaaiiiiinffffffuuuullllll.
