What can I say about Disco Elysium that hasn't already been said? I remember being a kid playing the first Knights of the Old Republic Game (playing with cheats because I found the combat tedious) and thinking, "Man, I really love talking to Carth about stuff, I wish there could be a whole game of that." Well lo and behold Disco Elysium is pretty much that game.
Disco Elysium is much, much, more than just a "talking simulator", but even that simple descriptor is enough to make me love it, and your initial reaction to it may determine how much you'll like this game. It's definitely not for everyone. It's not for every mood either, you can't just hop in on a whim and play for a few minutes to unwind, this is a game you have to focus on.
And oh boy is there a lot to focus on. The story, the characters, the art, the world, the plot, the mystery, the cryptids, the communism, and so on, and so on. So much love and passion has been poured into every centimeter of this work of art, and experiencing it is stupefying. It's one of those games that is intensely inspiring, in this case to such an extent that it become intimidating.
It would take a more skilled writer than I to convey the emotional impact this game has on you. Because I am not that skilled of a writer, and because there are many other more skilled individuals who have already written, fan-arted, and video-essayed, at length about it, I will simply close with this:
Please, please, please, give this game a shot. It may very well change your life.
