If you’ve not heard of it, Disco Elysium has you playing as an amnesiac detective within a world already ravaged by a long history of conflict, prejudice & ideological disputes. The notion of success is turned on its head with Disco Elysium, where failure itself can be desirable and pushing your poor character to the edge of sanity, and physical stability might even be necessary.
They are puzzles to unlock, dive into and rummage around, pulling at the threads of their psyche and ego to complete missions or, more likely, deepen the mystery and confusion. It always feels essential, part of an enfolding aspect that draws you into Disco Elysium’s world.Įvery character is deep and verbose, ready to engage and wax lyrical even if they at first seem closed. In some ways, this game bathes in the soup of language, but it never feels gratuitous. There is so much writing or speaking if you choose to let the avalanche of spoken lines of this Final Cut version wash over you. The main things I think about when playing Disco Elysium are a) how much fun they must have had writing this and b) how brave they were to write so much and keep going on faith that it would result in something worthwhile.
