Disco Elysium is a brilliant game.
There seems to be so many ways that you can shape the protagonist's personality, along with how you approach the many puzzles of the game.
I was relatively satisfied with how the story ended, but the real treat was the journey itself, and the people you talked to.
Not all of the dialogue options are important, and some of these options drag on for far too long, despite leading nowhere, but it's apparent that a lot of thought has gone into the world building.
However, most of the dialogue, even the ones that seemed unimportant at first, ended up being somewhat useful later, which I liked.

Unfortunately, just as a heads up, this game did have some technical hiccups that may or may not have been exclusive to the Switch version.
Performance wasn't great, and I've experienced 1 crash, 2 occasions where the game froze mid-dialogue, and 1 error when I tried to save.
Also, it's apparent that this game was made for keyboard and mouse.
Using a controller works fine, but it's far from optimal while navigating the menus, and selecting things to inspect in the overworld felt tedious at times. But hey, at least it's portable lol.
