Disco Elysium Review

96 ok I'll buy again ❤😂

Best experience ive had playing a game. It truly shows how games transcend being a fun distraction and become art.

Cant believe ign actually put effort into a review

this is one of the best games ive ever played, too bad some people cant sit down and enjoy it cause all they want is action and flashy colors

Just saw it on ps plus , this guy's review is top notch and made me download it.

So, not for the Call of duty crowd? 😅

Ok sounds boring

Can’t even pronounce Psyche correctly. Oof

Sorry but this game looks way too tedious.

Its so much better now. All the clipping bugs are gone and the dialogue is fully voiced now

The game promised much, but in reality it is a jumble of doubly pseudo-intellectual text that could pass as ironic if it were sufficiently grounded in something compelling. The core problem is that as time goes by you find that it is a useless script, characters that stand like lampposts in place all the time, a map that is appealing in principle but becomes tedious and tiresome day by day. The character setup files, the ideas, the objects, promised a lot, but in the end nothing work toghether nothing materializes, it never works with the script and the text of the story that is with capital letters a heavy indescribable suffering.

They need much better scriptwriters, and real hardcore gamers to redesign all the game throw the garbage by the window (with director included) and try it again without mumbo jumbo gibberish wathever comes to mind deceiving "playing" system.

looks rly boring

this sounds so cool wtf

this guy should write a movie or a tv show. its so pristine and elegant without coming off as pompous or pretentious

😎🤙👍👍

I'm planning to play this game but seeing the gameplay and the texts, it overwhelmed me!

combat isnt a focus + freedom gameplay like DnD game, this game is like torment: tides of numenera

limmy does a big shite

Just picked it up this week. I've already sunk 12 hours in! Deserved its score, but the final cut is easily 10/10 for me.

So it has divinity original sin 2 narrated amazing writing for an entire game? That is INSANELY AWESOME.

uh huh

Insteresting

Best game ever. Pathologic is in second.

this game looks soooooooooooo boring

commie pinkos

Consoles need trial versions. I'm so intrigued by this but, I'm afraid it's not for me

Bought this game 5 min into the review.. 😁

looks fun, but imma wait for it to be on sale

IGN employee who actually knows what he's doing

fave ign review

What is the background music? Is it from the game?

极乐迪斯科牛批

They forgot to mention its a world built on fantastic communistic ideas that has now collapsed under the weight of these same radical ideas, with it's streets now filled with the broken spirited and poor people struggling with high crime on one side, and on the other side the capitalistic docks unapologetically, working making money, surviving and thriving lol

Free ps plus game haaawoooooo

Ps plus?

Tragic but also homorous.

This reviewer alone restores some of my faith in IGN. He's the best I've seen/heard through your site.

Love this game. If you don't have a PC or console get it on stadia

what's the music in the background?

Masterpiece.

日本でも発売して欲しい！

how is this baned in aus

"Disco Elysium plays like no other video game I've ever seen. It's closest analogue is perhaps the outstanding Divinity: Original Sin 2."

I disagree with it being close to D:OS2 in how it plays. D:OS2 has a strong focus on turn-based combat, positioning, tactics, manipulating the environment, and skills primarily focus on improving combat ability. On the other hand, Disco Elysium's focus is on characters, dialogue, solving the mystery of who you are, and the gameplay/skills primarily influence how conversations/dialogue plays out. The closest game to DE is probably Planescape: Torment. In that game you also wake up with amnesia and the primary mystery and focus of the story is learning about your past and who are you. While there is real-time with pause (RTWP) combat in PS:T, the primary focus and gameplay is on narrative and dialogue. Raising your stats in the game can have a big impact on dialogue options in the game, similar to DE.

Imagine if triple A companies did graphics like this. This is so much better.

It reminds me of the original FALLOUT.

Coming to PlayStation sooooon 🥳

Anyone else looking forward to playing this for the first time next week when The Final Cut is released on PS5?

Who's here cuz they put out the PS5 version???...
