Games a work of art. If Michelangelo was contacted by game developers who said 'do that sistine thing again but make it about a hobo communist cop" and he said "oui" or whatever the fuck, it would be disco elysium
The art: GORGEOUS
The Soundtrack: SENSATIONAL
The characters: KIM I LOVE YOU PLEASE DONT BE MAD AT ME IM TRYING TO HARD I JUST WANT YOU TO BE PROUD OF ME KIM PLEASE
The themes: really............really heavy dude
\\\\\\\\\\SPOILERS /////////////////
Harry and Kim sitting down in front of Harry's crashed car, sinking into the ice, reflecting on what a failure harry was, was some of the most emotional, hard hitting, and beautiful shit i have ever seen in a video game, or anyewhere else

The nemesis system is revolutionary. Honestly surprised i havent seen more games use it since
The way that the orc enemies in this game remember you, quarral with each other, fight with you, betray you, interact with the world, makes this such a unique game, despite its third person stealth based open world appearance
Fun combat, exciting world, great experience

Despite the current climate of "open world partly stealth third person action rpg collectathons" this game manages to be all of that, but also possess a certain something that makes it a LARGEE cut above the rest.
The story is wonderful. Far from ground breaking but it's a samurai epic, and it's been a long time since a game has tried to be one of those. Reminiscant of samurai cinema of the 50s (i think?) It's about honour, sacrifice, blood, and sake.
The combat is fluid, engaging, and on the higher difficulties manages to remain hard all the way until the end, even with the myriad of gadgets you accrue over the course of the story .
It's funny, it's stylish, its crazy polished, and sometimes, extremey emotional
It's fantastic.

If this game was replayable, it would be your perfect game.
This "heart of darkness" epic is to this day the only game that i've played thats properly managed a drastic thematic shift that has worked THIS well.
The first, few hours, end up being a wonderfully generic military shooter, and then it gets..........good.
