Normally I wouldn't be the type of gamer to even touch this game giving how wordery it seems to an outsider. But I gave it a chance anyway and was rewarded for my efforts with amazing writing to a compelling story, gorgeous art, decent voice acting, and atmospheric music. Disco Elysium is something the medium of gaming needed to have for a very long while.

Also if I were a dude, Kim Kitsuragi would be my husband.

FYI Some bad industry politics is going on with the devs and their publisher that has come to light that sucks. Like the company fired the devs and writers for refusing to force this game into becoming a sequel churning franchise and if you respect artist's visions you probably shouldn't support anything else ZA/UM makes from this point.
