Disco Elysium is an exceptional case in RPGs! From a very touching personal story and impressive world-building of Revachol city to the impressive narrative role-playing experience with one-of-a-kind RPG systems and incredible and flexible missions and dialogues that can be highly reactive towards the player decisions.

Disconcerting and unpredictable are the best adjectives to describe robert Kurvitz's creation, because when you think that the story has become very long and dark, it takes unexpected turns to keep you hooked and wanting to know the outcome of it, regardless of whether you want to become the best detective or be a deplorable policeman as a human being.

An original approximation of what it would be like to play a tabletop role-playing game on your computer or console, an original plot and the feeling of reading a good book in which you are the protagonist. All that and more is Disco Elysium, a unique game that any fan of the genre should have in their library.

Disco Elysium presents an unforgivable experience that is only occasionally weighed down by pacing issues, but otherwise soars to new heights of interactive storytelling.

Disco Elysium is a very special RPG that most of your time will be spent on reading. It features a well-written detective story, various tricky skill trees, and memorable characters. This game might be the best one of its kind. But if you can't stand reading for a long time, just don't try it.
