Ok so this game was pleasantly decent then it has no business being. Don't assume that it's secretly a horror game with a cutesy art style like I did, it only gets kinda food ""body horror" by the end but it's honestly not too bad. It's not a hard game remotely, you play it the same way you play Pokemon snap but with other characters to interact and befriend throughout the story by completing their collecting quests, and for muppet people they are oddly interesting guys. Also all the little bug critters are so adorable, if they didn't mutate me I would eat them up. (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

I didn't give it three stars for being bad, far from it, I enjoyed the combat alot and controlling how you brainwashed and sacrifice the cultists was entertaining, the issue is that it's really short and once you upgrade everything and make a perfect self sustaining cult, there's not much to do afterwards aside from killing more enemies and the bosses. Gameplay is fun but not too addictive either, music still bops though. Also having the final boss be marriable is adorable, wished you could do that for the other bosses tho.
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.

It's South Park, other than that it has fun turn based RPG mechanics. NO GRINDING :D Lots of easter eggs to find, lots of laughter, good pacing. And you can dress up as a girl for all the gals out there.

If you enjoyed the first one then you'll like this one I'm sure. They made 100% completion so much easier compared to the first one and it just takes 40 hours to beat it. The only real flaw I can give is that I wish there was more game content and more characters got better development in the story but eh, gameplay definitely was positively upgraded then the first one so it has that.

I honestly only went back to this game to try to 100% complete it but I ended up discovering a whole chunk of the game I never knew existed and having a great time anyway.

I want to give it another full star, it's such a breath of fresh air of a game and as much as I enjoyed the sequel, it can never surpassed it’s predecessor, the only issue is that even for like a decade the Milk Man boss level is still buggy as hell to borderline unfunctional at times. It's a stain on a other wise perfect game though.

This was my first roguelite and it's fantastic, filled with great characters and addictive gameplay. All the characters and their stories are compelling, and it’s still playable and enjoyable after 100 hours, even after completing the main storyline. Also HADES 2!!!!!!
