Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

I can't call it a good game.
But I can call it a great interactive book.

If you like more story related cRPG is ok
If you like combat (c)RPG skip it

If you don't trust Metacritic maybe try the 50,000 Steam reviews? Or watch some videos?

It really depends on your preferences. If good writing and story is more important to you than gameplay, a story-heavy crpg such as this is your dream come true. If you'd prefer something more action packed or more flashy, this may not be your genre at all.
If the worst comes to the worst, you can always refund though. In 2 hours you would certainly get the gist of the experience.

It has next to no action, upsetting loading times, and a ton of RNG-ey dice roll-based outcomes. It also has absolutely mindblowingly well written (and voice acted) dialogue -- the best in any game I've seen, by a considerably distance -- with a lot of interesting stats to manage and branching paths to engage with.

Personally, I think it's one of the most interesting games ever, and a total triumph in terms of the atmosphere and storytelling style it's going for. But I can't imagine it being a very appealing experience for anyone who doesn't enjoy either engaging with actual literature or the maths of class/stats-based systems and conditional branches. Definitely requires patience and a "more of this intriguing writing is a reward in itself" type of mindset, IMO.

Do you like reading?

If yes then you should buy it.

If no then you should absolutely buy it.

It's a good game but prepare for a lot of big words and philosophy. I eat that shit up. If a game can make me think, laugh, and teach me a word it goes in my top games automatically. I'm finishing up my first run of it right now, slowly but surely, and it's looking amazing.

I did play it recently & enjoyed it a whole lot. So personally I highly recommend it! :D
Of course it is not a game that would appeal to everyone.

I'd say that the plot is less important here than the narrative, which can be really suggestive. There is a lot of inner monologues, that I would describe as neo-noir in its nature. I also loved the aesthetics which worked well with the narrative too.

All in all, I would call this game an intelectual & emotional journey. Maybe a little depressing (at least for me), but also quite humorous.

One thing seems sure to me, this game can't be rushed through. It is not a thing to give ie. an hour a day. It's meant to dive in deep.

Cheers!

I don't know. Let me consult with my necktie.

He said yes, it's time bratan!
