I'm not crazy in love like most people: the writing can be dense to a fault (or I'm too stupid to absorb it all), it's prone to rambling, I zoned out during certain lore dumps, etc.

But this is definitely one of the better-written pieces of media I've ever seen. The narrator and skills talking to you works incredibly well, and is further boosted by the VA. I don't know how well it works without the voices tbh

Every character is fully realized, which is an incredible achievement, and plenty of side stories really stuck with me: the bookstore lady sidequest, and René storyline to name a couple

Plus, it gives you a lot of food for thought, and I find myself reflecting on its themes and meanings. Despite the chaotic world, and a protagonist who... doesn't even his shit together to say the least, I think Disco Elysium ends up with an ultimately hopeful and optimistic themes. Though this may be a case of different interpretations

Movements kinda sucks though, and I still don't understand why fast travel is so specific
