    Unapologetically wordy but extraordinarily written.

    Disco Elysium is a very well-written game. If you like reading, classic cRPGs, or point-and-click adventure games, chances are you're going to love this game. But if you're a fan of the RPG-lite games that have released... Read Full Review

    Text adventure

    I think I started playing RPGs in 1980. This thing played like a text adventure with graphics and jibberish. It tries to be 4th wall like Rick and Morty but they just dont have the writing talent. I got a refund. Plus ... Read Full Review

    I didn't like the game but it is well made and I can see the appeal.

    I like to shoot things in games. I usually just want to unwind and not think when playing video games. Disco Elysium seems to be a well crafted/scripted game but: no guns, a lot of reading. I get enough of that at work. ... Read Full Review

    Tiringly wordy

    The scenery is beautiful and the game is well written - that's true. Otherwise, it's tiringly wordy, resulting in a text-adventure unworthy your time: it's better to let your eyes tire themselves up by reading a good boo... Read Full Review
