Bethesda’s latest can’t help but feel shallow by comparison.

    Lost me at “Disco Elysium had arrived and absolutely blown the doors off the RPG genre.”

    I’ve never played a more restrictive game with worse dialog choices.

    a) Can’t tell if brain damaged.
    b) Can’t tell if drunk.
    c) Can’t tell if high.
    d) Can’t tell if stupid.

    No good choices. Thank god Steam let me refund it.

    Looked pretty though!

        If you’re interested in politics, existentialism, the human condition, coping with depression, addiction, trauma and loss and want to read a novel about these themes told through the story-telling medium of an isometric RPG then it is the game for you.

        Despite claiming to be an “isometric CRPG detective game about solving a murder mystery” on its About page Disco Elysium is actually none of those things at the end of the day, and if those things are what you want you’ll probably end up disappointed.
