Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Community Reviews - IGN (2024)

Tatagrice

One of the greatest RPGs ever developed. Disco Elysium deserves all the praise it gets. Rarely you feel like you are really free in yoir choices while also having an impact on your evironment.The only "complaint" I have is that it is a little bit too long to play it multiple times. But this is more personal preference than a objective critic.

Look, I like reading, but some books are just ... boring. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this. I thought it would be detective-centered, but it turned out to be very political, and I have no interest in politics. If this had a different theme, I would probably have enjoyed it, but none of what this game centers around is of personal interest to me. There's clearly an audience for this but I have to give it one star because it's literally unbearable for me.

First off, the writing in Disco Elysium is quite possibly the best writing in any game I've EVER played. It is so rich and thought-provoking, and without wishing to sound clichéd, it really is POETIC writing.The way that your character build can change the ENTIRE feel of the game is GENIUS, to say the least. The dialogue you have with the voices in your head (yes, you read that right) and with the other characters you meet throughout the game is a BEAUTIFUL examination of people and their psyche, and I've never seen anything quite like it in any medium before.At the start of the game, the city you're in might seem like a small town with nothing much to do. Then you start peeling off the different layers within the city, and you realize how deep it actually is as you investigate and open up the different areas around the city, each with its distinct feel and characters!The story of Disco Elysium is a PHENOMENAL mix of magical realism, absurd and hilarious moments, and legit detective work, and, somehow, they all fit together PERFECTLY! Your main character and your sidekick, Kim, are some of the most loveable characters, and building up your relationship with him is the most satisfying aspect of the game. The art style is gorgeous, and the voice acting is so FANTASTIC that I can't imagine how the game originally shipped without it!So yeah, Disco Elysium is a masterpiece. Stop reading and go play it. Now!

A beautifully rich world. Definitely one I'll be coming back to over and over.

I guess this game just wasn’t for me. I played about six hours. It was “ok” but I just kept waiting to become more interested. Essentially I felt like I walked around trying to exhaust dialogue options. I read quite a bit but have never really enjoyed interactive stories. If I remember correctly I bounced off Planescape Torment way back in the day yet I devoured all the Baldur’s Gate and similar games. Since many loved it I am going to to chalk it up as just not my thing. With so many games in the backlog if I’m not in at the five or six hour mark it’s time to move on.

an RPG for the ages. one of the best games ive ever played. filled to the brim with **** to do and characters to interact with. you can go about things however you want. Theres no illusion of free will it’s actually there! You can really make the main character and his story your own.

Haunting soundtrack. One of the coolest and most fascinating (alternate dimension) game worlds I’ve ever seen. The alcoholism featured within was quite poignant. Dark adult humour that is genuinely hilarious throughout. And the painted landscapes and dream-like atmosphere add to the psychedelic nature of the game.
