Disco Elysium is a groundbreaking role playing game. You’re a detective with a unique skill system at your disposal and a whole city block to carve your path across. Interrogate unforgettable characters, crack murders or take bribes. Become a hero or an absolute disaster of a human being.

Just thought I'd share. It's a really fun game. I've done two play throughs already. It's very text heavy though but unique and worth trying out if you wanna be a drunken disco communist cop going through a massive identity crisis.

edit: the only advice i want to give people who are going to play is don't savescum IMO. Sometimes failed rolls can lead to some really funny moments. You really aren't supposed to "win" at every dice roll, but play the game how you enjoy it. I just found myself early on trying to win those dice rolls when in the grand scheme of things, it isn't necessary at all like it can be in similar RPG games. Also don't put only 1 point into physique (it's like health) on your first playthrough, you will end up dying in the most absurdly bad ways and after the charm wears off you will end up getting frustrated most likely.

edit 2: it's also on gog (same price) https://www.gog.com/game/disco_elysium?pp=a93c168323147d1135503939396cac628dc194c5 and the Epic store

    Just probably straight up the best game ever.

    I'd wait for march to play it though, it's getting free update with full VA (including narration and your skills), a new area with new stuff and political vision quests.

      In terms of story / writing, Planescape: Torment is still above for me but yeah, it's a close second.

          It really grabbed me emotionally after Pharod's Court, in the "hidden tomb" (not describing more for fear of spoilers). You may not even have reached the former after 2 or 3 hours though. Yet the game is incredible - touches you as deep as a great book does. Bear in mind some of my opinion may be partly nostalgia. Though I would still recommend trying it out longer.

      yeah wont be a bad idea to play it once they add all that VA. This game can cause some reading fatigue if you play it for too long in one sitting. But for some people that isn't an issue, however I know it would have helped me get into it a bit more when I first started.
