"Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead..." - Joyce Messier

Brilliant, witty, captivating, cruel, and above all else - human. There is no shortage of superlatives I can levy at Disco Elysium's storytelling.

Perhaps the best written video game, period.

Finally, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Disco Elysium was stolen from its original creators by its publishers, who were unjustly fired from ZA/UM and no longer receive any money from its sales. If you want to play (and I highly recommend that you do), sailing the high seas is the way to go.
